Medina House is a song for the broken and homeless, for the refused and the lost. Remember that each and every day you can choose whether to go the good way or the bad. Stay away from drugs, too much alcohol, and destructive people and situations. ask for help and strive to rebuild your life anew, you can do it ♡♡

About ten years ago, Bea went for a walk with her friend Tom C. They visited Medina House, an occupied house on the Brighton and Hove seafront which inspired this song.
lyrics
Medina House
Follow the Medina House down to the ground
holler the reasons you want me to stay
Have you met Carl, his blue eyes are vacant
he will say thank you too many times,
yeah yeah
Every day you go down and bathe
every day you go down to pray
Every day you go down the other way
Among the colored houses of Hove
Follow the Medina house down to the ground
holler the seasons you want her to stay
so hey now you'll celebrate us
till there's no more of us
Have you met Fruszi the girl of the house
she has a red heart, a red heart of glass
have you met Dearie the dog of the place
she has a a brown eye a blue eye to match
Every day you go down and play
every day you go put down the blame
Every day we go down to the bay
Among the coloured houses of Hove
Well it's the moonlight that'll lead you to be free
Have no fear of dipping your fingers
in the sea so blue
(Every day you go down to pray)
Every day we go down to play
Every day we go down and stay
Every day you show me the way
Follow the Medina house down to the sound
holler the seasons you want her to stay
so hey now you'll celebrate us
till there's no more of us
