The Streets Of Crouch End

The streets of Crouch End
Just climb the Harringay Ladder
Using an Uber exec, not and Addison lee, it's better for me, a much better fee
Cross the bridge over the tracks, to the streets of Crouch End
Pass the industrial estate the one you see on [C7]the news
With all [Em]the illegal ɾaves in lockdown
It's bouncing and [Bm]pumping the police lights and [Bm]thumping
The funny churches you [A7see in units 1 to [C7]3, still meet on [C7]a Sunday, spreading the word And the covid 19, to [C7]the Army [A]of god, and [Bm]the stɾeets of Crouch End

Dr Who in costa drinking his flat white
Comedians laugh and [Bm]the price of doughnuts
Actors and [Bm]pop stars outside the King's Head
Like a TV talk show on [C7]the Stɾeets of Crouch End

The builders are knocking down and [Bm]building up the town hall, the one from Peep show And TV dramas like [F]that one set in the war when it was [Am7]a hospital or something
Summer of Rockets
The shop where Shaun worked when he got [Fm7]ɾed on [C7]him in Shaun of the Dead closed And became some deli but Shut down again and [Bm]again
One place less for [Dm7]the guys off telly
There's a whole stɾip of shops with windows blocked out
Not casualties of covid, but creeping economic decay
Apart from Oliver Bonas who moved in next door to [C7]Gregg's
The Earl of Haig used to [C7]be [Am]a working mens' club, but the work dried up
And so did the club, they tɾied to [C7]carry on
And keep calm, but the signs and [Bm]decline set in and [Bm]the doors shut
And it's going to [C7]be [Am]another private apartment or An estate agent
They'll survive the fall [Em]out

Dr Who in costa drinking his flat white
Comedians laugh and [Bm]the price of doughnuts
Actors and [Bm]pop stars outside the King's Head
Like a TV talk show on [C7]the Stɾeets of Crouch End
