Victoria (song)

Post Fri Nov 02, 2007 5:14 pm

This is my fave Shane solo song.

Is it just about a man who falls in love with a Chinese woman? He has mentioned here and in Sayanora about women with green eyes although Asian women don't really have green eyes.

Perhaps it is about Queen Victoria or Shane's friend Victoria.

I think Queen Victoria had a pair of brown eyes. :wink:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

According to this: http://www.poguetry.com/snake.htm definitely about Victoria Clarke. She has light green/blue eyes.

And as she is ALLEGED to have shagged Van Morrison, this would explain the "fat monk singing Gloria".
