about

The Lawn Part 2

1. Astroglade - Here we meet the hero of the piece. The Lawn was Britain’s first purpose built tower block (1951 Harlow) and by all accounts is a continuing success with happy residents and an enduring good design. Designed by architect F. Gibberd all flats having south facing balconies. Astroglade is suggestive of an aspiring futuristic environment fit for the Lawn.

2. Hang Like Man - An ode to concrete of sorts although it could be argued that here we meet the villain. Seeps like leaches.

3. Stairwells - Another casualty. Morris was a alpha male within the community he was ripped from but his social status within this anti social environment plummeted and alcohol became his escape.

4. The Barbican - Rising like a concrete monolith in central London, this brutalist art centre and its surrounding estate represent the nadir of concrete architecture.

5. The Floor Design - Here the residents have had enough and a revolt swells before an impending disaster. The years of neglect and poor management have rendered the original vision void and misplaced.

lyrics

Astroglade

The Lawn is standing tall
Welcome one and all
Close up communities
South facing balconies

Hang Like Man

Seep out leeches

Hang like Man
Concretion elan

Stairwells

Wealth has gone
Ebbed away
Pounding guns reduced to silence
Sovereign ring
Threads to bear
Head to toe in pink and black plastic
Indigo static
In tonic park I take the meal
From sanitary polythene
But still I growl and start to bark
Howl at phantoms in the stairwells

The Floor Design

Undermine this wreak of flawed design
Held to account for vicious crimes
cease this nightmare sorrow
this flawed design

Undermine this flawed design
