| The Kinks – Victoria Lyrics
| 12 years ago

It is not sarcasm. Sarcasm is always personal, always jeering, and always intended to wound.
It's irony (saying one thing and meaning another) and it's satire (blending wit and humour with a critical attitude toward human activities and institutions).
Most of Ray Davies' lyrics use irony and satire.
But he still values a lot of the English traditions. |

I think that "he is so gay" should be taken literally. Carefree, happy. That was the primary meaning of the word. Besides, it says "He is so gay" --- so happy, so carefree. |

The small group of people is not so small as you might think. But I get your point. The Kinks (Ray's lyrics) are beyond what most people can appreciate. So they never get our little secret :) |

Great song; with Dave singing the chorus it's even better than it would have been if only Ray were singing it. |

Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds,
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out!
