@WinterOnyx - This is my question, too. Maybe greens and blues represent envy and sadness, the feelings he's experienced while waiting? It's still an odd phrasing, but that's the best I've got.

@WinterOnyx This question has plagued me for YEARS. I just feel like he can't be saying "greens and blues". I like to think he's saying "cheats and bruts"; makes much more sense.

I thought it was a reference to the Greens & Blues, rival factions in the early Byzantine Empire. They hated/killed each other over chariot races & squandered the nation's potential. Justinian consolidated power by crushing them & went on to dominate the Mediterranean. So in this reading, the singer sees himself as a Justinian figure to the woman's Byzantium.

@WinterOnyx I always thought men in service uniforms. Like garbage men and police officers. LOL ... Hey, I was 16 when the song came out.
