Lyrics

The Winning Side

(Verse)

That was my boy on the front page

He's off yesterday's news

Smiling off from the pages of celebrity views

And all the things that never got them too

(Verse)

And that was my boy

Crawling from the pages of his life

Matching 4 tunes and pictures of Goliath

Then the light was calm and so was his life

(Chorus)

We all won the war

See the photographs are grinning

It's so good to be on the winning side

Always on the winning side

(Verse)

On parade now

The mantle piece is somewhere in my head

When all that Christmas is another day to dread

All that Christmas is another day to dread

(Chorus) x2

We all won the war

See the photographs are grinning

It's so good to be on the winning side

Always on the winning side
