MADNESS
- Victoria Gardens Lyrics / with translationsI 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
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking, listening, 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
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking, listening, hoping
That things are changing for the better
Don?t want to 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
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking, listening, hoping
That things are changing for the better
You?re trying to see if
What you?re teaching is the truth, sir
She said it?s for the good of us all
And now it is early evening
I look across gray Leicester Square
A large and silent crowd were walking
Said they had every right to be there
I walked on in no hurry
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking, listening, hoping
That things are changing for the better
Don?t want to preach or teach
The blues to you now, brother
Looking, listening, hoping
That things are changing for the better
You?re trying to see if
What you?re teaching is the truth, sir
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
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking, listening, 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
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking, listening, hoping
That things are changing for the better
Don?t want to 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
And wondered where did we go wrong?
That things are changing for the better
You?re trying to see if
What you?re teaching is the truth, sir
She said it?s for the good of us all
And now it is early evening
I look across gray Leicester Square
A large and silent crowd were walking
Said they had every right to be there
I walked on in no hurry
And wondered where did we go wrong?
Looking, listening, hoping
That things are changing for the better
Don?t want to preach or teach
The blues to you now, brother
Looking, listening, hoping
That things are changing for the better
You?re trying to see if
What you?re teaching is the truth, sir
