Lyrics:

From where I stand, things seem kind of ugly,
But it's normal, yeah, that's what I'm told.
My TV says there's a great competition,
I must win, before I grow old.

But winning comes with fighting, losing, hurting, wearing a crown; and someone goes down.
My golden moments found me when I'm alone, and small victories are all I've ever known.

Well I take my time and I take my pleasure,
The sigh of a stream's the fastest I'll flow.
It feels so good to look them in the eye and stop,
While the rest of the world, tells you to go.

But why aren't  I changing lazy, hazy, effortless comforts I have outgrown?
The same reason the fish keep on swimming,
'Cause small victories are all I've ever known.

But I face the facts, like I face the weather,
Shielded from something too cold.
I'd love for just one day to be a winner,
To play my Jack of hearts, and not just fold.

Put me on the 6 o'clock train heading for somewhere that isn't home,
The boy who left with nothing but great expectations,
And small victories as all he's ever known.
Yeah those small victories are all I've ever known.

Stand Up (live)

Jack Pout is a BBC Folk award nominated singer/songwriter from Norwich, based in Brighton. Inspired by the revivalist musicians of the 60's and 70's, Jack's music carries nuances of numerous influences such as John Martyn, Duster Bennett, Bob Dylan and Chris Smither but with an individuality that makes his music inimitably his. 
His honest, and often deeply personal, style of writing is married with a love for humour; live shows are known for their friendly and conversational style with audiences and feared for his love of puns.
2016 sees Jack playing shows across the U,K and Europe, playing and hosting stages at numerous festivals, and recording an album with a full band line up.
