About

If you’re going to do a concept album about the Victorian era, you’d better start it off by making absolutely certain that the listener knows what you’re doing. “Victoria” accomplishes that by bouncing back and forth between the main character, Arthur, and an omniscient narrator from the present da...

Victoria Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Long ago, life was clean
Sex was bad, called obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the Lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen

[Chorus]
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria, 'toria

[Verse 2]
I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I'm poor, I am free
When I grow, I shall fight
For this land, I shall die
Let her sun never set

[Chorus]
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria, 'toria

[Bridge]
Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Land of hope and gloria
Land of my Victoria
Victoria, 'toria

[Chorus]
Victoria, Victoria
Victoria, 'toria

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria
