Lyrics:
You see, in my prefacing background
Prefacing back

And with the lick of a flame you entered my mind,
Like the flickering of Alfred Street
But now it’s red
(Now it’s red)
And we’re all equivalent to the gulls of the night,
The foam rolls- a child in a ball pit
And i’m here and you’re there
And we’re thrown down, deep under so i’ll roll with it
And if you were sat on that box,
Steadfast, the opposite of her waves
I’d be there
I’d
Ankles scuffed, fingertips kissed with cold
Kiss me cold, please unfold

Alfred Street

- LYRICS -

Two step forwards, another backwards
Out on the front line, standing on a land mine
It looks so easy until I'm on my own feet
And faster than the blink of an eye

Feels like I'm losing control 
I don't know which way to go
Feels like I'm losing control 
You'd think by now I'd have learned 

It looks so easy when you hand it to me
Scrawled on the back page a message from the stone age 
And as it crumbles I begin to stumble
Falling through a trapdoor

Feels like I'm losing control  
I don't know which way to go
Feels like I'm losing control 
You'd think by now I'd have learned 

If you try to run and hide 
Then you'll never turn the tide
Endlessly lost at sea
Wasting all your energy
 
You want it, you got it
I need to see you on it
You wanted to feel it
So show me that you mean it

First hand, wandering the wasteland
All I see is quicksand, lapping at my feet
Fall down, catch you on the rebound
Nothing left to say, nothing here left to see

Feel like I'm losing control 
I don't know which way to go
Feels like I'm losing control 
You'd think by now I'd have learned. 
But I know I will return

LYRICS:

no way
i came here to forget those things
i can't stay
but let me be un-cynical
for one more second
one more lightyear
one imploding sun
wherever this may go
it has begun

far away
far away from earthly troubles
life again
pirouettes among the corals
does every heart
does every alien
get the urge run?
wherever this may go
it has begun

a face you remember
and all those you forget
and then there’s everyone
you’ve never even met
but the question of scale
is easily dropped
as the face across the table
grows larger

no way
got no room
for any major changes
but take this thought wherever you want
and rearrange the furniture
my kidneys and my lungs
wherever this may go
it has begun

no way
and then i find a way of saying
maybe
and then i find a way of saying
yes please
and then i find a way of saying
change me
change me
change me

No Way

Breaking Up (mix1).wav

Victory Kicks is the recording project of London based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer John Sibley. A veteran of several London based indie bands, by day, John works at a university. The rest of his time is spent writing songs and making records at home. These consist of a driving, melodic, jangly and atmospheric brand of indie rock, drawing inspiration from bands such as Spoon, The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Wilco, The National, Death Cab for Cutie, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Guided by Voices, and The Walkmen. 

John has been doing this pretty much constantly since he started releasing music under the name Victory Kicks in 2013. This began as a way of continuing to make music when life and work got busy. Early EPs and albums of catchy lo-fi indie rock gained favourable critical attention and radio play in both the UK and the US, and Victory Kicks became known for releasing an almost continuous stream of home recorded indie rock, barely pausing between releases. 

Having begun as a solo project, recording and releasing records out of John’s flat in South London, over the years Victory Kicks has come to sit somewhere between a solo project and a band with regular contributions from a rotating cast of friends, former bandmates, and members of other London based acts. To date, this has resulted in six full-length albums and six EPs.
