lyrics

Welcome to The Monsell
My beautiful estate

Where I found and lost myself and found myself again

When it gets past midnight
I’ve no need to be afraid

The cross and phone mast of St Hugh
will guide me on my way

Crows on the green
magpies on the spinney
and an owl made of stone

My family lived here
My family died here

It’s where we made our concrete home

50s futuristic workers colony
spawned a generation of 60s kids like me

Jackson Pollock pebbledash provided by the state
and the council chose the colours of our doors and of our gates

Crows on the green...

From psychedelic schoolboy
To teenage waste of time

I stayed too long at mum and dad’s
and lost my punk rock mind

After Wolf Cubs at The Glen
to get some sweets and pop

Years later drinking at The Pimp
not knowing when to stop

Crows on the green...

Climb a tree on Red House Road
or get up on our shed
and see a panoramic view
of where my head got fed

The ghost dogs they still run here
in their phantom pack
and part of me runs with them
so that’s why I’ve come back

Crows on the green...
