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
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
Reminds me some of the musical flair of 10CC...in the seventies, of course!
Wow!!!! Amazing song!!!
anyone get a slight spongebob vibe from the background guitars?
You must Come to France !
Good Job
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.
so so brilliant
Saw them first on Jools Holland
Sound like the beatles. Which is good.
It's like the Monkees meet Zappa... a bit too schizo for me.
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
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."

Lyrics describes with perfection our generation.
A generation of small victories.
Jesus these DONKS O_O
We get to see the outline of his glans!
It sounds like the dragon tales theme song
jésus pure dopamine
Love this tune! Great!
Degenerates
A hundred brilliant!
This is very brown
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.
The seventies lives on!
שיר מהוד מהוד יפה,ממליץ בחום על השיר :)
מי שיבין מבין מי שטיפש לא חחחחח ערב טוב
what is the song about?
jesus christ
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!
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.
クールではある・・・
The only Instagram ad I've ever been grateful for is the one that introduced me to this song.
wonderful song - the best one in the new album
This song is great, but I love the live version with the guitar strums on (I understand) and so forth. way cooler
todd rundgrencore
This Melody Is Gorgeous
Wow. The future with a healthy dose of the past.
I love this song!
im sorry people dont care enough
Just heard this band on T.V. & the sound made me stop what I was doing & watch. Sound reminds me of The Beatles. 💛
What a beautiful sweet perfect song! I frickin love it and it’s in my head all day. Thank you.
Samuel, si tu vois ça merci de m'avoir fait découvrir ce merveilleux groupe j'oublierai pas ❤️ #rdr18
A Scott Weiland melody from the sky.
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.
Le kiff
TEMÓN MIS NEGROS LIMONAGRIOS LOS QUIERO MUCHO
are you freaking kiddinn
These guys are brilliant!!!!! Rock is dead my ass, the Lemon Twigs, Greta Van Fleet, the Struts, younger guys who grew up listening to the classics of the 60s and 70s...
AGH I LOVE THIS, SEE YA SOON IN DC
I love this song. Greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷
Nice Emitt Rhodes vibe.
Twigs know the time..
very ram mccartney !
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.
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.
This song is Pure Genius!!...I cannot stop talking about the Twigs...
Amazing!
Amazing! Keep it up my dudes
Such a toe-tapping, titillating tune!!!
142 positive comments can’t be bad
OMG! I hear so many influences; just a party for the ears!!!

I love our Twigs and all the different musical things in this song. You guys need to be on the radio NOW! Love :)
Both the song and singers are beautiful.
Trout Mask Replica + happy McCartney vibes.
Cortense el pelo geis

Now this one is a great tune, can't wait to hear the rest of the new record!
Raffy Rillo 16 songs! Can't wait, should be really good. They are so talented and original, they use their influences in just the right way it's amazing how extravagant their sound is already for being 20 years old
This is from the new record?
I have never heard of these guys before. Wow this was good. Reminds me of the music I grew up with on the radio.
I hear shades of Todd Rundgren, Raspberries, McCartney, Emmit Rhodes... Not bad at all.
Helios Marzal I heard Lemon Twigs
And Rufus Wainright, XTC...
