Victoria....

| Matt D. User Info... | Does anyone know that Victoria song, it's a cover of a country song (with the same name and different lyrics), laughed my ass off when I first heard it. It was a Hanson Bros. tune released on that NMN album "Mr. Right and Mr. Wrong," which was a bunch of unreleased stuff mixed with some new, I think. From memory, I think the first verse went like this: "Newly weds, nearly deads, Seas of green, skies of lead, Constant rain on my head, Stately homes for the rich, Bowling green, cricket pitch, Victoria, what a bitch." Anyone know the next verse (and so on)... - Tue, 28 Jan 2003 3:20am | ||
| Gare User Info... | " I was born in this place, where the cops spray their mace, on the kids at the gigs, and they act just like pigs, beat em up,knock em down, Victoria what a town" I think thats how part of that song goes. I do believe the Kinks sing the origional version of the song - Tue, 28 Jan 2003 12:21pm | ||

| Matt D. User Info... | "Land of hope and gloria Stuck in old Victoria, Guarateed to bore ya Sentenced to Victoriaaaaaa" There's one last verse... anyone know it? I don't think the Kinks did the original, but I could be wrong. I think it was an ol' country love song written for a girl named Victoria. - Tue, 28 Jan 2003 3:46pm | ||
| Adrenaline Animal | The rest of the lyrics: I was born in a place, where the cops spray their mace On the kids at the gigs, and they act just like pigs Beat em up, Knock em down, Victoria oohhhh what a town Land of hope and Gloria, stuck in old victoria, guarented to born ya, sentenced to victoria. - Tue, 28 Jan 2003 5:03pm | ||

| Zippgunn User Info... | The song in question is "Victoria" which was a single by the Kinks in about 1968, and it's about the queen not the city. - Tue, 28 Jan 2003 5:48pm | ||
