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

Ma*s 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
