Cover art for Grey Cell Green lyrics by Ned's Atomic Dustbin

I am so happy that John Penney explained the environmental message behind this fantastic song. It has stuck with me for many years and that's the way I always interpreted the meaning. There are many other fascinating interpretations of the lyrics out there, but this song is about finding our proper place in the all-embracing fabric of Nature. Being gentle and sensitive, realizing that all the great and necessary exterior efforts of protecting the environment are not the true crux of the matter. It all starts inside us.
