The Green Lady

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 a 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
