"Green Fields" is the third single by British alternative rock band The Good, the Bad & the Queen. "Green Fields" is also the eleventh track on the group's 2007 debut album The Good, the Bad & the Queen (see 2007 in British music).
The song was released April 2, 2007 as the band's third single in the United Kingdom. The single debuted—and peaked—at #51 in the UK Singles Chart on April 8, substantially lower than "Kingdom of Doom" which had reached the Top 20 upon release in January.
In the album's review for NME, Hamish MacBain called the song "the best thing Damon's ever written." The Sun considered the song with Beatles-references, referring to the songs ability to "cast as a latter-day Lennon and offers wistful, woozy psychedelia as Strawberry Fields are replaced by green ones."

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or fields:
“But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Or seen the furrows shine but late upturned,
And where the fieldfare followed in the rear,
When all the fields around lay bound and hoar
Beneath a thick integument of snow.
So by God’s cheap economy made rich
To go upon my winter’s task again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
