Vicky's Magic Garden - The Selecter

Angora jumpers on the 10:15

Off to Brighton for the day

She’s gently swaying through her magazine

Victoria is on her way

Oranges spinning in a Wimpy bar

Although she knows it’s not the same

She sits and wonders where it all went wrong

Wraps her coat around her pain

Oh, the magic in her garden never grows

The places and the faces that she used to know

Oh, the magic in her garden never grows

The places and the faces that she used to know

That she used to know

Cherry vanilla flavored ice cream cone

Lingers softly on her lips

The memory of a guilty phone call home

The wetness of a teenage kiss

Slingbacks clicking on the wooden boards

As she steps lightly on the pier

She sits and watches as the sun goes down

She’ll be back this time next year

Oh, the magic in her garden never grows

The places and the faces that she used to know

Oh, the magic in her garden never grows

The places and the faces that she used to know

That she used to know

All the scooters, tonic suits and midnight features

Shiny chrome, shiny lights and shiny people

All the blues and all the tunes of pretty faces

All the kings and queens and all the aces

All the Sundays and the Mondays spending wages

Now growing in the gardens of suburban places
