Victoria Lyrics - Shane Macgowan And The Popes

Down the dirty old streets 

The Angel of the East is calling 

And with a trembling hand 

I open up a can 

I can hear a baby bawling 

Before I open up my eyes 

I can feel her love inside me 

But then I realize 

My girl with green eyes 

Is no longer there beside me 

Vicoria, you left me in opium euphoria 

With a fat monk singing Gloria 

My girl with green eyes 

Only you see that I am lazy 

Don't care about fame 

Nor money like a child 

And I'm just like a child 

Who's forgotten how to smile 

All the people are so busy 

I have nothing to bother about 

It seems that I'm different 

Seems that I am strange 

I'm a bumpkin, I'm a lout 

Some day I know 

I'll put my pipe aside and hit the road 

However far away I have to go 

To find my girl with green eyes 

Some day I know 

I'll put my pipe aside and hit the road 

However far away I have to go 

To find my girl with green eyes 

Victoria, my girl with green eyes
