Lyrics for The Big V

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 Salom茅 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
