The Refreshments Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drink the sevens seas
Just to have you honey right here next to me
I would lie and cheat and steal
I'd get on my knees and kneel
And since you own my heart I'd sell the rest of me
My Veronica sweet Veronica
There's nothing in the world that I would not do
I'm gonna make you love me like I love you
Well I'd walk a pirate's plank
Attack a panzer tank
Break into Fort Knox and rip out all the gold
And you're the one I'll blame
‘Cause when I hear your name
The love I feel for you comes on so big and bold
My Veronica sweet Veronica
There's nothing in the world that I would not do
My Veronica sweet Veronica
I'm gonna make you love me like I love you
Well I'd walk around the clock
I would never stop
I'd do whatever it might take to have you by my side
And then I would never sleep
And all I own is yours to keep
There's nothing I would leave undone or leave untried
My Veronica sweet Veronica
There's nothing in the world that I would not do
My Veronica sweet Veronica
I'm gonna make you love me like I love you
My Veronica sweet Veronica
There's nothing in the world that I would not do
My Veronica sweet Veronica
I'm gonna make you love me like I love you
I'm gonna make you love me like I love you
The Refreshments' "Veronica" is a love song that portrays the lengths one man would go to for the woman he loves. The opening verse of the song is a testament of his dedication to her, as he claims he can move mountains and traverse the seven seas just to have her close to him. The repetition of his sweet Veronica's name throughout the song highlights his unflinching love for her. He is ready to do whatever it takes to have her by his side, even if it means cheating, stealing, or lying. The lyrics suggest that he is willing to take big risks and perform seemingly impossible feats just to win her heart. The song's catchy lyrics, combined with its fast-paced drumming and guitar riffs, make it an upbeat love song that is both entertaining and heartfelt.
Interestingly, the song was featured in the 1996 movie, "Kingpin." The inclusion of the song in the movie brought it a lot more attention, and it has since become one of the band’s most popular songs. Another interesting fact is that "Veronica," was never released as a single, but its inclusion in the "Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy" album helped it achieve popularity status. Furthermore, the song was used in a 2020 TV commercial for General Electric, which brought it back to the attention of many viewers, decades after its release.
In addition, "Veronica" features a bit of dark humor, as the lyrics suggest the singer is willing to do things that are not entirely legal just to have his beloved Veronica by his side. The use of such humor is typical of the Southwest, which is where the band is from. Also, due to the inclusion of the line “I’d walk a pirate’s plank,” the song is often seen as a nod to the nautical culture of Arizona, which is far from the coast. The song remains one of the most popular love songs of the '90s, and it is still played on classic rock radio stations to this day.
