when i was 19 i became a painter and met an old married man who decided to run away from his wife and live with me for almost a year. he showed me this song among many other things. our end and the ensuing heartbreak were inevitable, but i miss him dearly and i know we loved eachother more than most people ever love anyone. kristin, if you ever read this: i'm sorry and i wish you and your husband well.
I was a troubled teen Who put an advert in a magazine To the annoyance of my imaginary lover She doubted my philosophy and this is what she said to me She said, "Oh, you, you're green You don't know what love means, let me tell you" Tickles you pink, oh yeah, it likes to hear you scream Fire and damnation, lamentations for the likes of you When she goes, just let her go If she says she's going, make sure she goes Make sure she goes I was a troubled teen Untroubled only in my daydreams To the annoyance of somebody or other Questioned my integrity and this is what they said to me They said, "Oh, you will be where you belong But it's only blood from broken hearts writes the words to every song" There's a beautific smile for fawners and the servants Oh but I, only I, only I I can see the serpent, oh, you, you're green You don't know what love means, let me tell you Tickles you pink, oh yeah, it likes to hear you scream Fire and damnation, lamentations for the likes of you When she goes, just let her go If she says she's going, make sure she goes Make sure she goes For the likes of you When she goes, just let her go If she says she's going, make sure she goes Make sure she goes When she goes, just let her go And if she says she's going, you make sure she goes Make sure she goes
wtf are people on about? In britain being green means that your innocent or naive...wtf is racist about about saying a girls naive? And why the fuck would someone with peters talent for words write a "racist song" about green people? Come on get back down to earth.
Greatest English songwriter since Morrisey. Genius in a tortured body and soul...

how could you even think about disliking this man
I was a troubled teen
Who put an advert in a magazine
To the annoyance of my imaginary lover
She doubted my philosophy and this is what she said to me
She said, "Oh, you, you're green
You don't know what love means, let me tell you"
Tickles you pink, oh yeah, it likes to hear you scream
Fire and damnation, lamentations for the likes of you
When she goes, just let her go
If she says she's going, make sure she goes
Make sure she goes
I was a troubled teen
Untroubled only in my daydreams
To the annoyance of somebody or other
Questioned my integrity and this is what they said to me
They said, "Oh, you will be where you belong
But it's only blood from broken hearts writes the words to every song"
There's a beautific smile for fawners and the servants
Oh but I, only I, only I
I can see the serpent, oh, you, you're green
You don't know what love means, let me tell you
Tickles you pink, oh yeah, it likes to hear you scream
Fire and damnation, lamentations for the likes of you
When she goes, just let her go
If she says she's going, make sure she goes
Make sure she goes
For the likes of you
When she goes, just let her go
If she says she's going, make sure she goes
Make sure she goes
When she goes, just let her go
And if she says she's going, you make sure she goes
Make sure she goes

wtf are people on about? In britain being green means that your innocent or naive...wtf is racist about about saying a girls naive? And why the fuck would someone with peters talent for words write a "racist song" about green people? Come on get back down to earth.
it means the same in german^^
But i've never heard someone thought its a racist song :D
the most stupid thing I've ever heard!
richie Hill I think 'green' means jealous. Definitely not racist.
richie Hill He is not even calling the girl green, it is what he himself gets called by her in the song
he would'nt write a racist song
I am sorry that it has to be repeated over and over again, but I you like an artist BUY THE CD!
what is the rift in the beginnning from? its an older song!? tell me plz?
picklezenator a bit late I know, but it's albion
More brown eyed girl tbh
At the Flophouse and Acoustic Killamangiro, same key, same double stops
I like this song, more than "My Darling Clementine".
Good for you.
I love You BECAUSE You are Green!
(das "but" ist nämlich falsch)
I'm green
never make an empty threat , youl fill up with nothingness
❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 fuckin party
Fuck I'm a drunk
junkie :)
Brown eyed girl
I don't think this is in any way racist.
Green as in, naive, wet behind the ears. Not knowing what love means.
I always understood it that it was Green with envy, no?
nah green can also mean unexperienced.
that's just plain racist.
Aww fuck up
Freak
The barge has given the beers away free and run out of electric because the pubs fighter doesn't do anything for them.
