GUEST,Griff Lyr Req: First line of Dirty Old Town (11) RE: Lyr Req: First line of Dirty Old Town 14 Aug 02

Aaaaah, suddenly the light has dawned. Thanks for all the answers guys. Particularly, thanks to Llanfair for the definition of 'croft' as used in the song. I'm from Scotland so I couldn't get my head around the idea of a croft (as I understand it)being next to a gas works. Is that definition of croft just Northern English slang or is that meaning of the word used throughout Southern Britain?
