Crawley ( pronunciation (help·info)) is a town and local government district with Borough status in West Sussex, England. It is 28 miles (45 km) south of Charing Cross, 18 miles (29 km) north of Brighton and Hove, and 32 miles (51 km) northeast of the county town of Chichester, covers an area of 17.36 square miles (44.96 km2) and had a population of 99,744 at the time of the 2001 Census.
The area has been inhabited since the Stone Age, and was a centre of ironworking in Roman times. Crawley developed slowly as a market town from the 13th century, serving the surrounding villages in the Weald; its location on the main road from London to Brighton brought a passing trade, encouraging the development of coaching inns. It was connected to the railway network in the 1840s.
Gatwick Airport, now one of Britain's busiest international airports, opened on the edge of the town in the 1940s, encouraging commercial and industrial growth. After the Second World War, the British Government planned to move large numbers of people and jobs out of London and into new towns around South East England. The New Towns Act 1946 designated Crawley as the site of one of these. A master plan was developed for the establishment of new residential, commercial, industrial and civic areas, and rapid development greatly increased the size and population of the town in a few decades.
I'm in love with the person in the sandwich centre
If she didn't exist I'd have to invent her
There isn't any secret to my frequent visits
It's the way she makes them and they're all exquisite
I'm in love with the person in the sandwich centre
I'm enamoured of the magic of her fresh polenta
My temperature rises and my pulses quicken
When she gets cracking with the coronation chicken
Geraldine, Geraldine
I know there's much more to life than the physical side
And I should put these thoughts on hold
But when she buttering my baguette
My blood runs hot and cold
Geraldine, G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Geraldine
Geraldine, G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G
I'm in love with the person in the sandwich centre
I'm living for the moment that I next frequent her
In beauty's eyes beholding my inamorata
As she works her wonders on a dried tomato
Geraldine, Geraldine
I know there's much more to life than the sensual side
And the spiritual should come first
But when she's buttering my baguette
I think I'm going to burst
Geraldine, that's the nicest badge I've ever seen
Geraldine, you make the world seem fresh and clean
Geraldine, G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-Geraldine
I come from a place
Where every name
And every place
Seem so familiar
In came this progress
In her black dress
Look at the mess
She is a killer
Much like you and I
And every case that's made
There has to be a traitor
It's me this time
And I'm trading fun for right
Will I regret the notion later?
Geraldine's the name that comes to mind
When I go back to reminiscing
Abilene's a woman for my childhood
I spent the evenings kissing
I'm a fool for treating her alive
And loving something cold and rocky
The homophobic gentlemen
They'll barricade but their efforts couldn't stop me
In came this progress
In her black dress
Look at the mess
She is a killer
In came this progress
In her black dress
Look at the mess
She is a killer
In came this progress
In her black dress
Look at the mess
She is a killer
Hold tight, Geraldine, I need to say what I mean.
Time's gone by for so long and I've seen all the wrongs that I've done.
Since we have yelled and stomped our feet after you took me in your arms.
Cut from you, near death you drew the breath that made me one.
And I must call on your sweet soul
In the times when we walk
In shadows of sorts
I cherish the mother you are.
Hold tight, Geraldine, I need to say what I mean.
Oh, I owe you for the stars in the sky
And the breath that was life of my own.
And I must call on your sweet soul
In the times when we walk
In shadows of sorts
I cherish the mother you are.
And I must call on your sweet soul
In the times when we walk
In shadows of sorts
I cherish the mother you are.
Yes, in the times when we walk
In shadows of sorts
I cherish the mother you are.

An orange green labrador
Sits in the clouds
Geraldine watches nearby
The sun's going down on a
Shadow of doubt
A car careens into the drive
Way up the tree Geraldine's in her house
Dousing the flames on the beam, she's
{Outside everyone
Never speaks, holds her tongue
Dreaming a ring and a gown
She is downstairs on the couch
With her Ma
Watching the tv set stars
But outside everyone
Never speaks, holds her tongue
Dreaming a ring and a gown
She is down}
Ma takes a break from her crochet to say
"Make this one tall, I am parched
I don't understand all these children today
I met your dad under the arch
Way up in her bean Geraldine's in her thoughts
They say it's a stage in-between, she's
When the sun sets over Carlton
And the moonlight floods the streets
All those pizza places and spaced out places
They all get on the beat
When the sun sets over Carlton
And the stars begin to shine
All those grey-haired writers and drunken fighters
They all step out in line
When the sun sets over Carlton
And the day begins to fade
All those night time junkies and long haired monkeys
They all pull up the shade
When the sun sets over Carlton
And the lights begin to glow
All those Divine Lighters and window wipers
They all put on a show
When the sun sets over Carlton
And you're out to make a deal
Check out who you're talkin' to
And make sure they are real
(rpt above verse)
Well Lygon Street's really got me beat
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Well Lygon Street's really got me down
'Cos I'm a poor boy on the wrong side of town
Do the Lygon Street Limbo
