about

The Lawn Part 1

1. Parker Morris Committee - This was an early 60’s motion to standardise accommodation with comparatively large rooms. A Bulletin (number 6) outlying this was published called Space in the Home. We used this as the basis for one of the perspectives on the album - the idealistic architects.

2. Kohl - An instrumental invoking feelings of towering architecture shot through with a lingering darkness.

3. 100 foot tall - Here we meet “Diaza Pam” who is a dissenting voice. She is our damsel in distress, this supposedly utopian idyll of homes in the sky feels more like a prison as she is isolated and scared of her neighbours.

4. In Happy Homes - Our idealists return with a patronising and blinkered advertisement of their short sighted vision. Set against a melancholic chordal backdrop of gloom!

lyrics

The Parker Morris Committee

Here, here's the idea
for all
New life in the clouds
the future's clear
For all, all working men
can be
home with their entire family

Light, bright painted white
décor
rooms larger than you've
ever known

Bulletin 6
Space in the home
Mandatory
Dimensions set

Make, make no mistake
the course has been set
Set in cement
no turning back
You will accept

100 Feet Tall

Oh am I still the strong one?
Lost my balance
Caught in the sand
Now that it's all been buried
I'm slipping down
One golden grain

Dark and dank they wait in shadows
Numb, asleep stepping blindly in the dark
Stranded on an island
Hoping to be saved

I don't want to be
100 feet tall

Young and old above and below
dissipated, left with isolation
locked away with all these lonely, tortured memories
It traps you here in this stare

In Happy Homes

Controversial planning of the city soul
On paper roll
Visionary dwellings in an urban world
from poll to prole
It's the ideal goal
for happy homes

Sanctuary, hygiene conscience, litter free
in harmony
Building future generations
empathy for humanity
In perpetuity
