It Lurks Everywhere was written by an Asian doctor (name unknown) who worked at the local hospital in Hull circa 1968. The doctor held private ambitions to become a known songwriter and gave this song to Matthew and Son whom he had seen performing in the local clubs. Matthew and Son were mainly a variety act performing covers on the cabaret curcuit.
