Lemon Twigs, The - Small Victories Lyrics






Just how much of this will you all allow
To go on?
What will it take for you to realize you're wrong?
Oh, so wrong

He fought with him, who fought with her
Who denied the knowledge of what those altercations were
All the lies and the sighs
This was not so reassuring

But all is well and all is merry
Even when the times are scary
Every generation is the same
Resulting in this fear illusion
Is a void that breeds confusion
Leading to a population tame

I understand demand
And know there're no guarantees
But we've been built a world that's full of small victories

I've been waiting for a light to shine my way
Every day
No one understands a word of what I say
"Go away"

"I rule the sun and all the stars"
Say the sons and daughters whose parents bought them getaway cars
To ignore inner war that is building up inside them

From the mountains to the prairies
Everything is looking scary
But the lot around me feel no pain
They live their days in mass delusion
While I coddle my seclusion
Knowing that they're all laughing at Shane

I understand demand
And know there're no guarantees
But we've been built a land that's full of small victories

Lemon Twigs, The Small Victories Comments
  1. P.... L....

    Reminds me some of the musical flair of 10CC...in the seventies, of course!

  2. R.... S....

    Wow!!!! Amazing song!!!

  3. D.... D....

    anyone get a slight spongebob vibe from the background guitars?

  4. L.... V....

    You must Come to France !

  5. T.... H....

    Good Job

  6. A.... ....

    This song got me through a lot at the end of 2018, especially the first and second verse. A lot of changes in my life. Now listening back, it's really bittersweet because I associate it with all those negative emotions I had to push through, but it's still truly a beautiful song from real talent.

  7. J.... B....

    so so brilliant

  8. A.... ....

    Saw them first on Jools Holland

  9. o.... ....

    Sound like the beatles. Which is good.

  10. M.... ....

    It's like the Monkees meet Zappa... a bit too schizo for me.

  11. m.... b....

    No color, no odor, no original style...no future I think, unless if they let their real creativity express. Please excuse my english, I'm french

  12. L.... J....

    Those lyrics, man... " 'I rule the sun and all the stars', said the sons and daughters whose parents bought them getaway cars to ignore every war that is going on inside them."

  13. P.... g....

    Muy Ray Davies...G E N I A L

  14. H.... R....

    Lyrics describes with perfection our generation.

    A generation of small victories.

  15. L.... H....

    Jesus these DONKS O_O

  16. R.... B....

    We get to see the outline of his glans!

  17. J.... G....

    It sounds like the dragon tales theme song

  18. P.... M....

    jésus pure dopamine

  19. M.... ....

    Love this tune! Great!

  20. Z.... ....

    Degenerates

  21. d.... ....

    A hundred brilliant!

  22. J.... L....

    This is very brown

  23. P.... M....

    Flying three songs on to one runway.....all with the help of that downward minor spiral.....and everyone walked away smiling.
    Been twirling around my head....and 'What's The Frequency Kenneth?' gets those brain cells in memory mode.
    Heard them on Jools Holland - one song. Going to hear them at The Round House, London inspired directly by this playout....The Doors played the Roundhouse.....when you hear it, you hear it.

  24. W.... d....

    The seventies lives on!

  25. H.... C....

    שיר מהוד מהוד יפה,ממליץ בחום על השיר :)
    מי שיבין מבין מי שטיפש לא חחחחח ערב טוב

  26. C.... M....

    what is the song about?

  27. S.... ....

    jesus christ

  28. A.... C....

    The transitions in this song are really what makes it for me, as well as the very deft skill that handles the shifts so well.

    I’m really glad my favorite weird morning show: Wake & Bake with Clay Pigeon on WFMU.org and 91.1 here in North Jersey has been giving this the rotation. Keep it rolling! So many albums so fast. Best yet too!

  29. R.... ....

    You guys should check out a band from the 1990s called Jellyfish. They are like The Lemon Twigs, but better in my opinion. They take what the Lemon Twigs are doing and take it a level higher.

  30. c.... h....

    クールではある・・・

  31. A.... ....

    The only Instagram ad I've ever been grateful for is the one that introduced me to this song.

  32. D.... M....

    wonderful song - the best one in the new album

  33. L.... ....

    This song is great, but I love the live version with the guitar strums on (I understand) and so forth. way cooler

  34. M.... O....

    todd rundgrencore

  35. J.... V....

    This Melody Is Gorgeous

  36. b.... s....

    Wow. The future with a healthy dose of the past.

  37. L.... S....

    I love this song!

  38. T.... ....

    im sorry people dont care enough

  39. G.... S....

    Just heard this band on T.V. & the sound made me stop what I was doing & watch. Sound reminds me of The Beatles. 💛

  40. J.... B....

    What a beautiful sweet perfect song! I frickin love it and it’s in my head all day. Thank you.

  41. B.... ....

    Samuel, si tu vois ça merci de m'avoir fait découvrir ce merveilleux groupe j'oublierai pas ❤️ #rdr18

  42. L.... C....

    A Scott Weiland melody from the sky.

  43. P.... P....

    They are trying hard to do Van Dyke Parks' Song Cycle album with this song. Parks achieved this a half-century ago, a real genius. But at least The Lemon Twigs are doing a good simplified approximation. Certainly quite better than the one attempted by Foxygen.

  44. A.... #....

    Le kiff

  45. E.... M....

    TEMÓN MIS NEGROS LIMONAGRIOS LOS QUIERO MUCHO

  46. k.... s....

  53. C.... J....

    Why does everyone always have to reference other artists? It’s tiresome. Just enjoy what it is.
    Every musician gets influenced my many other musicians, no need to mention what it reminds you of. Jeez. These guys are great.

    C.... J....

    Well I tend to agree, but as a teen, I learn the existence of so many bands this way, so it may be good for people to know where this music comes from.

  54. k.... ....

    This song is Pure Genius!!...I cannot stop talking about the Twigs...
