Grammar? Meaning?

and is the subject 'Green and Grey' - Sullivan's eulogy to their creative partnership.

Nope. Green and Grey was written many years before Robert left the band, so it can't be. Luckily this seems to have been removed. Most of this article is pretty poorly written and low on accuracy. Robert was New Model Army's 4th drummer, not second. There was Tom Tom, then another guy whose name I forget, then Rob Waddington and then Robert. Robert almost never contributed lyrics for the band as Justin wouldn't sing other people's lyrics so to suggest he wrote most of the music and lyrics for Thunder and Consolation is ridiculous. He didn't co-write all of the songs listed, and where he did, he wasn't always the only co-writer. I was also credited for writing Brave New World (with Joolz Denby), 51st State (with Ashley Cartwright), and White Coats, among other songs from that time. he was prolific, but he wasn't the main writer and architect of Thunder and Consolation. He was my best friend, I was best man at his wedding, and I find this whole article just a little unsettling in its use of 'alternative facts'.--00:42, 15 May 2020 (UTC)~I've no idea how to sign this with code~~
