Ballboy - A Relatively Famous Victory lyrics

We have nothing to fear Even fear itself Has been defeated now They say But the sorrow Is that you'll never know My love It doesn't stop It never ends And now the night Is closing in When we have victory A famous victory in our sights So we drink ourselves stupid In the undergrowth We drink ourselves stupid On the tennis court That's overgrown In the private grounds of the crumbling house Your parents own When we have victory A famous victory in our sights Stolen wine in the afternoon and A thin white dress that the sun shines through And maybe – maybe this is what skin is for A secret look in a month of Sundays Private schools' ceremonies Never let you know – never let it show That I breathe the air when you walk by It's wider than my heart is wide It's a secret thing – just your breath and the cold dark air Spend the whole night on the lawn beside you Call this love if you want me to And we have victory – a Famous Victory – I know We could live in Paris or London Build a cottage on a Scottish Island And lie there – and feel the waves attack the shore Feel the world press on our walls, but We're not really there anymore And this, and this – this is what our lips are for And we have victory, a Famous Victory, in our sights. I breathe the air when you walk by It's wider than my heart is wide And this, and this – this is what our skin is for Spend the whole night on the lawn beside you Call this love if you want me to And we have victory, a Famous Victory, I know
