lyrics
I can see her, where she cut her hair
In the backyard, on a lawn chair
Money on the table, smoke in the air
Soon she'd send us somewhere far away
To the concrete and the slow parade
A city that was stable, like a fairytale
Dreams of India
And my mother’s wish
Violent dreams of India
In the warmth of her kiss
Tell the doctor somethings really wrong
If you see him, say you came alone
Land of fables in the end
In the alley they will whisper to you
If you don’t fight, they will take her from you
If you tell the doctor, there’ll be hell
Dreams of India, and my mother’s wish
Violet dreams of India, in the warmth of her kiss
Still don’t remember what I did
Take it back where it all started
Still don’t remember what I did
Take it back where it all started
Dreams of India, in the warmth of her kiss
In the backyard, on a lawn chair
Money on the table, smoke in the air
Soon she'd send us somewhere far away
To the concrete and the slow parade
A city that was stable, like a fairytale
Dreams of India
And my mother’s wish
Violent dreams of India
In the warmth of her kiss
Tell the doctor somethings really wrong
If you see him, say you came alone
Land of fables in the end
In the alley they will whisper to you
If you don’t fight, they will take her from you
If you tell the doctor, there’ll be hell
Dreams of India, and my mother’s wish
Violet dreams of India, in the warmth of her kiss
Still don’t remember what I did
Take it back where it all started
Still don’t remember what I did
Take it back where it all started
Dreams of India, in the warmth of her kiss

about
Petty Victories Toronto, Ontario
Petty Victories is a fusion of opposites. Front women Colleen Dauncey and Zoe Sky Jordan have rooted their sound in driving,
melody synth lines and smoldering yet sweet harmonies. Though their voices are like night and day, together they are often mistaken for one, earning them a reputation for pleasantly surprising their audiences.
Petty Victories second album is set for release early 2013.
