Victoria Falls
Original version (4:09)
[on Liberation]
Neil: I don’t know where I am.
Who’s that boy you’re leaning on?
Victoria ceases to care.
You’re not the only one.
Virginia creeps through her hair.
Summer evening, summer sun!
Virago will publish her diaries when she’s dead
To the world,
Unlocking the dreams in her head
And the world is blind,
Unstable, unhinged and unfed.
She’ll wed the summertime,
Unable to answer the questions of her life.
I don’t believe you.
I don’t believe,
I don’t really need to.
I don’t really need,
I won’t let Victoria fall
Victoria.
When the night has come and gone
His ghostly perfection remains
Melting in the morning sun,
His pale saint’s complexion unchanged.
Lovers go and lovers come
And some stay for longer, but never long enough.
His shadow lingers on.
Victoria ceases to care.
His shadow fades like a pop song.
Virginia creeps through her hair.
Death to the supernatural one!
Virago will publish the story of her life.
Queen of the South!
I don’t believe you.
I don’t believe,
I don’t really need to.
I don’t really need,
I won’t let Victoria fall
Victoria.
Victoria.
I don’t defend you.
I don’t defend you.
I don’t recommend you.
I don’t recommend,
I won’t let Victoria fall
Victoria.
Away.
Victoria.
