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`ll 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`ll 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`ll 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`ll 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`ll gladly run away 
Ride in on the trade wind 
And marry you someday
