Week Six: Jesus Jones - "Welcome Back Victoria" - Doubt

Prior to hearing this song for the first time, I had never really desired for my name to be anything but what it currently is; however, after hearing this song for the first time, I would have killed for my name to have been Victoria.

I absolutely loved the way that name rolled off Mike Edwards' tongue so fancifully in this tune.  Plus, I had started dabbling in Jane Austen and was falling madly in love with all of the pomp and circumstance of the Victorian era.

Alas, my name remains what it is to this very day, but every time I hear this song, I can't help but possess a tinge of jealousy for all of the Victorias of the world, especially since one of the only songs in existence that has my name in it repeatedly is technically about "my mother".  Thanks, but no thanks, Fountains of Wayne!!

Welcome back Victoria
since you've gone you know that no-one's really missed you
Welcome back Victoria
and now your friends watch over everything
that we-ee do
Welcome back Victoria
so the pendulum swings back
Welcome back Victoria
you went away, OK
we got a little slack
and once again you'll cover up
what you don't understand
don't close your eyes
you can't hide behind your hands
Welcome back Victoria
we'll be no threat when we're deaf, dumb and blind
Welcome back Victoria
clean books, clean screens, clean words,
dirty minds
I am a child of the sixties
and for that I must pay
you wag your finger all you like
I'll tell you something, it's my children
they'll have no choice but to say
Welcome back Victoria
I trust your piano legs are covered up again
Welcome back Victoria
double standards are your forte, now as then
Welcome back Victoria
we'll tip our tophats to those who walk the streets, and you know what I mean, now
Welcome back Victoria
on commercial street  be careful who you meet, but you're alright, Jack
Welcome back, welcome back, yeah
Welcome back, welcome back, eehee hee
