	I thought the song was meant to be sarcastic at first, but now I'm not so sure.

	It sort of clicked it was about Victoria and the empire with the whole 'where the sun never sets'.. y'know, the sun never sets on the british empire? Or it didnt at least. This is definitely a song for dancing to.

	I think this song encapsulates pretty well the two attitudes that many of Ray Davies' most distinctly "British" songs often seemed to vacillate between. To say that he's just making some sarcastic or denuncitory satirical statements about Britain would be a mistake, I think. He obviously has a lot of affection for the England of "Victoria." Some people look at: I was born, lucky me In a land that I love Though I am poor, I am free When I grow I shall fight For this land I shall die Let her sun never set ...and assume that the message is completely negative, as in, "Look at the poor ignorant peasant tricked into dying for foolhardy British patriotism." I don't think that's the right way to look at it. I think Davies, while mindful of the drawbacks that Empire and the Victorian culture bring with them, is at least somewhat fondly disposed towards them. You can discern the same sensibilities in Muswell Hillbillies and Village Green Preservation Society, to name just two.

	This is brilliant, I'd really love to cover this live at Glastonbury. A cracking rock song.
