"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:
“In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don’t want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings.”
—Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)
“The greatest delight which the fields and woods minister, is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me, and I to them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
