The Green Lady Lyrics

A window to the Orient

In a picture frame

I know you are a Lady

Nobody knows your name



Lady from the Orient in a council flat

She never looks me in the eye, she never answers back

If I could buy a ticket, I'd gladly run away

Ride in on the trade wind and marry you someday



Staring at my masterpiece

The boys all read Parade

Chong Sam and red lipstick

Her skin a precious jade



Lady from the Orient in a council flat

She never looks me in the eye, she never answers back

If I could buy a ticket, I'd gladly run away

Ride in on the trade wind and marry you someday



Mass produced the daydream

Or should I pay the rent?

Breakout of the concrete

Set sail for Orient



Lady from the Orient in a council flat

She never looks me in the eye, she never answers back

If I could buy a ticket, I'd gladly run away

Ride in on the trade wind and marry you someday



Dry your eyes Salomé

Mona Lisa too

Lady in the picture frame

My heart belongs too you



Lady from the Orient in a council flat

She never looks me in the eye, she never answers back

If I could buy a ticket, I'd gladly run away

Ride in on the trade wind and marry you someday



Lady from the Orient in a council flat

She never looks me in the eye, she never answers back

If I could buy a ticket, I'd gladly run away

Ride in on the trade wind and marry you someday
