Victoria Gardens

Madness

 You're looking and listening and hoping
 that things are changing for the better
 You're trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir
 You're looking and listening and hoping
 that things will change for better
 Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

 I just left Victoria Gardens
 And walked through cardboard city land
 A burnt out star was asking
 How would I like to shake his hand

 I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
 And wondered where did we go wrong?

 We're looking and listening and hoping
 that things are changing for the better
 Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

 I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
 And wondered where did we go wrong?

 Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
 (Only time can tell)

 It's a bloody fine situation
 That we find ourselves in
 He said something I couldn't mention (here)
 And we laughed with him again

 I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry)
 And wondered where did we go wrong?

 Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
 And trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth sir

 She said it's for the good of us all
 (of us all, of us all, of us all)

 Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better
 Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

 I'm not so sure
 (sure, sure, sure)

 And now it is early evening
 I look across grey Leicester Square
 A large and silent crowd were walking
 Said they had every right to be there
