And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Golden lawns, village green
Victoria was my queen
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria
I was born, lucky me
In the land that I love
Though I'm poor, I am free
When I go I shall fight
For this land I willl die
Let her sun never set on
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria
Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria
Actually, it's not too bad. I'll give the Fall high marks for covering songs that'll be so brilliantly done I'd swear that song was an original. Like "Ghost in My House", a song by R. Dean Smith. And "Mr Pharmacist" which I thought was another Kinks cover, was really a song by '60s psychedelic/garage band, The Other Half.
I never quite got why they changed the lyrics so that it's no longer saying that the Victorians thought sex was bad. Seems a bit strange to me.
You may or may not like the version of this song by The Kinks.
wow only 2 comments, im suprised great song tho but i like the kinks version better

Well you can be our little queen, vic ;)
Imperial splendour, eh? Conjures up smoggy nights in Whitechapel, the Zulu wars and Sherlock Holmes...
