Winner
Noisettes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The eagle has landed
The butterfly is out of her cocoon
It ain't like I planned it
But lately I'm shining like the moon

I tell you something about turning doors
Too many questions will kill the surprise
After tonight there'll be no alibis
I'll be the apple of your eye

I feel like a winner
I feel like the world is in my hands
I feel like a winner
I got the world at my feet
I can dance to the beat of my song

Emancipation
I don't need your key to set me free
Rise to the occasion, yeah
Life gives a hand, just wait and see
(Just wait and see)

And while you're waiting for the world to change
I'll be your light as before the dawn
I'll be the star that you wish upon
I'll be the song a man should carry on

I feel like a winner
I feel like the world is in my hands
I feel like a winner
I got the world at my feet
I can dance to the beat of my song

I feel like a winner
I feel like the world is in my hands
I feel like a winner
I got the world at my feet
I can dance to the beat of my song

Shine like the morning sun
Everybody, everyone
Shine like the morning sun
Everybody, everyone

I feel like a winner
I feel like the world is in my hands
I feel like a winner
'Cause I got the world at my feet
I can dance to the beat of my song

Because I feel like a winner
I feel like the world is in my hands
I feel like a winner




I got the world at my feet
I can dance to the beat of my song

Her voice is absolutely luscious. I could listen to it all day.

Jasmine Bischof

She's in a class all her own. I can pretty much listen to The Noisettes without skipping a song.

Never have I ever listened to a Noisettes song and stopped. Every single time I start one of their songs, I end up listening to them for two days straight. I listen to previous albums and dissect every single thing I hear over and over because they are amazing. I'm feeling really weird now because I listened to this song and couldn't really listen like I usually do. There wasn't anything there for me to interpret. I hope the rest is better, in the meantime, Tegan and Sara.

Edgar Argueta Cazares

This woman is a legend in the making. I miss the heavier rock vibe, but this has got me easily whipped. I really like this track.

Michael Miklos

I hate that this isn't released in the US. I'd totally purchase it if it were on the US iTunes store.

Funtime

I'm loving this song, and I'm loving you guys. I can't believe I haven't stumbled across you music sooner (I'm in the U.S.). Very original, uplifting, and great vocals + music. U Guys Rock! Can't wait for your album.
