Victoria!

En dag som denna firar man bäst med The Kinks och Victoria.


Long ago life was clean
Sex was bad and obscene
And the rich were so mean
Stately homes for the lords
Croquet lawns, village greens
Victoria was my queen
Victoria, Victoria!

I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I am poor, I am free
When I grow I shall fight
For this land I shall die
Let her sun never set
Victoria, Victoria!
Eller som Docent Död sjöng i sin hyllning till monarkin (eller ja, det kanske inte Kinks-stölden Standardiserad värld ska tolkas som, men idag tar vi oss friheter):
Den bor i oss. Vi bor i den.
