Victoria Gardens

                                  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 wanna 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



Looking, listening, hoping that things are changing for the better

Don't wanna 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) don't wanna preach or teach the blues to you now brother



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)



Looking, listening, hoping that things are changing for the better

Don't wanna 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



Looking, listening, hoping that things are changing for the better

(Said they had every right to be there)

And trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth, sir

(Said they had every right to the square)



Looking, listening, hoping that things are changing for the better

(You get what you don't want) [righ to be there]

Don't wanna preach or teach the blues to you now brother

(You want what you don't get) [right to be there]



Looking, listening, hoping that things are changing for the better

(You have what you don't need) [right to the square]

And trying to see if what you're teaching is the truth, sir

(You need what you don't have) [right to be there]
