Youre looking and listening and hoping
That things are changing for the better
Youre trying to see if what youre teaching is the truth sir
Youre looking and listening and hoping
That things will change for better
Dont 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?

Were looking and listening and hoping
That things are changing for the better
Dont 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)

Its a bloody fine situation
That we find ourselves in
He said something I couldnt 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 youre teaching is the truth sir

She said its 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
Dont want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother

Im 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
