Cricklewood is a district of North London, England whose northeastern part is in the London Borough of Barnet, western part is the London Borough of Brent and southeastern part is in London Borough of Camden.
There was a small settlement at the junction of Cricklewood Lane and the Edgware Road by 1294, which by 1321 was being called Cricklewood. By the 1750s the Crown (rebuilt in 1889), was providing for coach travellers and by the 1800s it had a handful of cottages and Cricklewood House as neighbours, and was known for its “pleasure gardens”. By the 1860s there were a number of substantial villas along the Edgware Road starting with Rockhall Lodge and culminating in Rockhall Terrace.
You're dreaming and it's getting easier
Some big surprise, but you'll hide it
Of course you don't want to believe it
Tell a little lie let it fade away
Walk into the same mistakes
Round in circles counting time regardless
It's just nonsense, is it any wonder
You can't sweep it all aside, or hide it
Or get a decent answer with 13 and a half percent extra
Cold comfort might suit you
One more hand extended
One more day deleted
You're dreaming
I'm sure you'll find a reason to do it all again
A pissed up navvie and a beaten up whore
A tramp trying to ponse enough just one more
The blossom comes out same time each year
Just counting time regardless
You're dreaming and it's getting easier
Some big surprise, but you'll hide it
Of course you don't want to believe it
Tell a little lie let it fade away
Walk into the same mistakes
