It's not secret code Brit propaganda, bro. It's just a song about "Victoria" as in Queen Victoria, who is used as a metaphor for England. It's just very British is all I'm saying. So much of their music was distinctly British- with references to Brit culture of both past and (then) present.
All of Arthur is about British Imperialism, war, nationalism and loss. The album is, after all, titled
Arthur Or The Decline and Fall of the British Empire.
It's really not a subtle thing.
I feel weird and dizzy. Can't think straight. Hard to type. I'm not having a stroke am I?
