Green Shirt Meaning
| [[Verse 1] There’s a smart young woman on a light blue screen Who comes into my house every night She takes all the red, yellow, orange and green And she turns them into black and white [Chorus] But you tease, and you flirt And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt You can please yourself, but somebody’s gonna get it [Post-Chorus 1] Better cut off all identifying labels Before they put you on the torture table [Verse 2] ‘Cause somewhere in the “Quisling Clinic” There’s a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes She’s listening in to the Venus line She’s picking out names I hope none of them are mine [Chorus] But you tease, and you flirt And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt You can please yourself but somebody’s gonna get it , [Bridge] Never said I was a stool pigeon I never said I was a diplomat Everybody is under suspicion But you don’t wanna hear about that [Chorus] ‘Cause you tease and you flirt And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt You can please yourself, but somebody’s gonna get it [Post-Chorus 2] Better send a begging letter to the big investigation Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?
