'My Mother used to tell me I had a green heart. Ever since I was a child - "You have a green heart child" and I'd say "How green?" She'd say "Oh, the greenest". -

After he'd gone, I knew what she meant. She didn't mean mine at all. And that's what I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you how green her heart was.'
