Noisettes
Noisettes are an English indie rock band from London, currently composed of singer and bassist Shingai Shoniwa and guitarist Dan Smith. The band first achieved commercial success and nationwide recognition with the second single of their second album, "Don't Upset the Rhythm (Go Baby Go)" which reached number two on the UK Singles Chart in Spring 2009.
History
2003–2009: Formation and What's the Time Mr. Wolf?
The band formed in 2003 when guitarist Smith and singer Shoniwa were attending the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon, both of whom had previously been in the band Sonarfly. Drummer Jamie Morrison (formerly of Living With Eating Disorders, Willis, Six Toes, Jaywalk Buzz, Loden Jumbo and others) was recruited after Smith saw him performing on the UK television show 'Later... with Jools Holland' with his then band, Willis. The Noisettes quickly formed a reputation for being one of the rowdiest live acts in London.
Early feedback about the band was largely positive. Entertainment Weekly placed the band on its November 2005 list of "Six Indie Brit Bands on the Cusp," and said the band "sound[s] like high-drama, heavily syncopated swagger-and-sway rock, spearheaded by incandescent frontwoman Shingai Shoniwa." In a March 2006 article on UK bands, USA Today said, "The incendiary Shingai Shoniwa leads this London blues-punk band, known for its feral and explosive live show."

Winner
by: NoisettesThe 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
