Cover art for Green lyrics by Dandy Warhols, The

It's about losing your virginity or just being uneducated when it comes to relationships, and being with someone far more experienced. Being "green" has always meant being a rookie or something along those lines, be it the army or the Old West (greenhorns). Basically, this song is about a guy who goes to a girl's place, and she wants to sleep with him, but he doesn't know if he's ready. He's greener than green, he doesn't know what to do.
