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
