Martin Newell,
from "The Greatest Living Englishman"
@@Green-Gold Girl of the Summer
You would live so fast til your time was past, lonely runner
with a look so fine you could turn dark time into colour
And a garland just for a day
til the cheers had faded away
to the opium world of the green-gold girl of the summer
Do the stars crash down to the cold hard ground any number?
(no one there to stop them falling)
As I watch the light in the showbiz night and I wonder
(do I hear a lost boy calling)
from a windswept place on a hill
I will raise my glass to you still
and the opium world of the green-gold girl of the summer
As change follows change
And the west wind drags another ship down
And down
You would live so fast til your time was past lonely runner
with a look so fine you could turn dark time into colour
And a garland just for a day
til the cheers had faded away
to the opium world of the green-gold girl of the summer
to the opium world of the green-gold girl of the summer
