Big Audio Dynamite

Big Audio Dynamite (later known as Big Audio Dynamite II and Big Audio, and often abbreviated BAD) is a British musical group formed in 1984 by the ex-guitarist and singer of the Clash, Mick Jones. The group is noted for its effective mixture of varied musical styles, incorporating elements of punk rock, dance music, hip hop, reggae, and funk. BAD's one constant throughout frequent shifts in membership and musical direction is the vocals provided by Mick Jones. After releasing a number of well received albums and touring extensively throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Big Audio Dynamite disbanded in 1997, but had a reunion tour in 2011. more »

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'd 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'd gladly run away
Ride in on the trade wind and marry you someday

Mass produced the 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'd 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'd 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'd gladly run away
Ride in on the trade wind and marry you someday
