The Green Boy Lyrics - Singles - Robyn Hitchcock

First blood 

The man in breeches leans against the wall 

And keeps a green-striped clove ball in his pouch 

You know him as your friend but he is filling in for someone 

First come 

The girl in breeches bends her head and sighs 

And rubs a green-striped gourd across her palm 

You know her as your love but she is marking time just marking time 

Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me 

What you will 

Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me 

What you will 

And all the answers are the same as they have been before 

And all the questions are the same as you've been looking for, my friend 

First served 

The man in green-striped tights is now inside 

He picks his teeth with fragments of his lute 

You chose him as your guard and he is here with you and no one else 

There's no one else 

Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me 

What you will 

Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me 

What you will 

And all the answers are the same as they have been before 

And all the questions are the same as you've been looking for, my friend 

Hold to me, say to me, kiss to me, fall for me, do to me 

What you will, what you will 

One, two, three 

Four, five, six
