1: OASIS MARK1:

     Central Manchester, circa 1992, the raw, energetic sounds of a new northern five-piece roar out from the basement rehearsal rooms of 'The Boardwalk' club. This is the future, but the only people truly aware of it are the band themselves, driven by guitarist/songwriter/brother Noel Gallagher towards world domination. Fast forward three years and this band rule the world, Kings of the British music scene and widely regarded as the first British band to rival truly The Beatles. After the fastest selling debut album of all-time, a hugely successful follow-up, the two biggest shows ever in Britain at Knebworth and playing centre stage to thousands at Maine Road football ground, home of their beloved Manchester city. Oasis were a phenomenon like no other, with infighting, drug abuse, marriages, break-ups, sacking of a 'useless' drummer and exhaustion all dominating the tabloid headlines for years.

     Be Here Now, Oasis' third album, was regarded by the music press at the time as a disappointment, and is seen as the start of the demise of oasis MK1, but the figures show it a phenomenal success. The true reason behind the departure of Bonehead and Guigs before the release of Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants was exhaustion- just look at the gigography on this site for a demonstration of just how much the band were away from home, and then think of the toll it must have taken. The original line-up of Oasis were the GodFathers of Britpop and the true instigators of the musical revolution of the mid-nineties in the UK, this fact can never be taken away from them.

2: NOEL AND LIAM:

     Mrs Gallagher's boys have truly done her proud. From magic mushrooms on the streets of Burnage to Cocaine at the poshest hotels, these boys have always done it big style. How two such talented musicians emerged from the same family is a mystery, yet together they rewrote history forever. Their on-off/love-hate relationship has always been well-documented in the music press, but has survived the tales of every doom-monger around, risen to every challenge and made great entertainment for fans worldwide. Liam is the mouthy, outspoken, boisterous younger brother, Noel, the laid-back, talented, talkative professional. Together they have proved unbeatable.

     At times the fallings out have come thick and fast: Liam left an American tour before it started to find a house and, shortly after his return, Noel left the same tour just because. Noel left the European leg of the Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants tour due to unrepeatable comments Liam made about his wife. Bickering, infighting, public arguments and fights- It seemed Oasis were indeed doomed. Noel has since stated that 'Acquiesce' is not, in fact, about his relationship with Liam, but the line 'Because we need each other, we believe in one another' could not ring truer. Sure, the brothers are talented enough to survive musically without each other, but it could never ever be the same. Nobody could have predicted that, seven years after the release of (What's The Story) Morning Glory that the band would again hit number one in the album charts. It seemed impossible. The Gallagher's story truly has been one of fantasy, northern boys making it big, beating all odds and becoming world famous. But it really did happen....and we were there for the ride!!!

2: GEM:

     Gem Archer is a true pro. Looking at him as he stands on stage he is the perrenial rock star, he's got it all- style, looks, ability and the world's greatest band on his side! The future looks bright for Gem, originally brought into the band as a mere session musician and now a liked and respected mainstay musician and songwriter.

3: ANDY BELL:

     Former bands including Ride and Hurricane No1, this guy is another true pro. Commited, energetic, able, loved and adored by oasis fans worldwide. Andy is another true star. God, Noel sure knows how to pick 'em!!  Andy brings wonderful, dark bass to the band, and has proved an amazing, long-term replacement for Guigsy. Andy fits excellently into the image of Oasis Mark 2, as that of seasoned, capable, professionals looking to, once more, re-write music history in Britain and reclaim their place at the top of the tree.

4:ALAN WHITE:

     To describe Alan as 'the quieter man of rock' would not be an understatement. Fantastic guy, amazing amazing drummer, the best in the business. Simple as. Alan's capabilites as a drummer took the band to new heights of both credibility and capabilty and generally helped the band's image as true pros enormously.

5: BONEHEAD AND GUIGSY:

     Two members of the original, pre-oasis line up 'the rain', along with, ahem, tony maccarrol, and chris hutton. Bonehead and guigsy were and are top guys, and a huge part of the oasis mystique. Noel himself once stated that 'Guigsy is oasis', and for a long time Bonehead and Liam were inseperable. There's so many stories about these guys, so much fun was had, so its a shame it all ended so quietly and these boys have seemingly disappeared. Well liked by their bandmates and adored by the public, these guys will live forever as icons at the heart of britpop.

 

6:ALAN MCGEE:

     Well, we're not too arsed about dear old Alan.... Only kidding, of course!! Great guy, with striking acheivement of uncovering oasis by accident! i think we're all pretty glad that he did though! cheers Alan, have one on me!

7: TONY McCARROL:

     Hmmmm, Mr McCarrol, what can you say? Was the butt of all the band's jokes and disliked to go with it. Drumming on definitely maybe outstanding, but nowhere near the quality of Alan White's. An intergral part of the Oasis legacy, his epitaph should read: Tony McCcarrol- He Tried.

8:OASIS MK2:

     The new lineup of oasis boasts both charisma and impressive talent. From scalley wannabes to worldbeaters, what the band have now become are seasoned pros, veterans of the music scene, prowling, hungry for new challenges. In all honesty, Oasis MK1 could never have made this transaction and aged with grace and dignity, we would perhaps have seen overdoses, rehab clinics, maybe even deaths. Throughout their whole career Noel and Liam have shown great astuteness in their dealings, and in bringing into Oasis Gem and Andy they demostrated an understanding of what they needed to become- The older, wiser, more professional men of rock n roll. The fire burns as bright as ever in the new line up, and will continue to do so, but the only reason it still does is the composure and solace the band as a whole now embrace. Its better to burn on than fade away!!!

     Heathen Chemistry is, once more, a generation crossing album, bringing new fans into the realms of Oasis, whilst the hardcore older fans sit back, smile and say 'I told you so'. This album is what its all about: love, life and rock 'n' roll. Oasis have once again defied all the odds, which seemed insurmountable after the failures of Be Here Now and Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants. It just shows what the potent combination of ability and self-belief can do. Noel no longer shoulders the burden of being the sole song writer, as Gem and Andy are penning a few classics, and Liam's songwriting is magical- born on a different cloud and songbird are defining moments in the Oasis story. When they said they'd Live Forever, most thought it would be only metaphorically. Well, 11 years of noise and confusion anyone?? The future, contrary to what the music press would have had us believe, is, indeed, very rosy.

Wembley Stadium: Saturday 22 July 2000:

Me and my best mate Jen arrived at Wembley stadium at 9:30am and we went and sat on the steps of turnstile C and waited for the doors to open. We had two people in front of us which meant we were gonna be near the front. At 11:00am more and more people were arriving and music was being played over the speakers. Cigarettes and Alcohol came on and I shouted Yeah Oasis! And everyone went Yeah Oasis!! It was even better when it came on again at 3:00 coz there was thousands and I mean thousands of people by that time and we all just sang the words and you couldn’t hear the song at all. It was wicked and I just could not take in how many Oasis fans there were. Then Robbie Williams came on and every one Booed ‘Get him off he’s rubbish!!!!’ It was excellent. At 3:30 we started to throw a football about passin it from the front of the crowed right to the back it was funny coz the ball came flyin up the top hit the door and then flew straight back down the bottom again. When the doors did open everyone just legged it, Me and Jen got on to the pitch and just followed everyone then all of a sudden we just got swept into this massive crowed and was getting pushed into the Pit, Jen got pulled in by the security guard and I was pulled in after her. We both then ran to the front we was two rows away from the front we just could not believe it.

The stage was massive it was unbelievable it had the front cover of Standing on the shoulder of giants in drapes which was the background of the stage. In the centre it had a massive screen which two smaller ones at the sides. The bloke then came on stage with a camcorder and was filming us which was funny.

At 5:40 Doves came on stage and they was absolutely brilliant the singer at the end of the song shouted ‘ I don’t mean to be rude but can you do that again but a little bit louder’ and we all just cheered it was great. Then at 7:00 The Happy Mondays took the stage they were good Bez was walking along the stage and looking at us and we all just cheered and then Liam Came running on stage and every one was chanting ‘Liam, Liam, Liam’ it was well funny Liam was running about and he walked up to the female singer and kissed her he then started winding us all up and we were just shoutin Liam, Liam, Liam. Shaun Ryder wasn’t impressed well he was trying to sing after all but it didn’t matter this was Liam Gallagher from Oasis.

At 8:30 F**kin in the bushes came blasting out of the speakers and we all just went mad it was excellent chanting OASIS, OASIS, OASIS then finally Liam, Alan, Noel, Gem and Andy all came walkin on it was brilliant. Liam was looking at us all and he walked to the microphone and said ‘If you think I’m over the moon for bein here then your tripping’ and then he said ‘ This is for Bob Geldof, this is Simple Minds, this is for all those other idiots who start I’m glad u made it, Live Aid and I bet you wish this was free in all. Noel then walked up to the Mic and said ‘Can I just say peace and love to every single person in this whole stadium thank you very much. This is called Go Let out. Then go let it out started playing and the place just went mental it was fantastic and Liam said ‘This is lazy arse who has sat on his arse all year. We all just started cheering it was brilliant, we were all singing along to it, it was excellent.

Liam was just off on a mad one I think coz he was sayin this and sayin that half the time you just didn’t know what he was going on about but some of it you could understand and it was funny. Me and my best mate got taken out during Who feels love coz I fell over and I lost my Trainer (which I got back at the end) but at the end of the song Noel said ‘Hey everyone down there if anyone falls down can you pick them straight back up man, people are gettin hurt down there so be nice, be nice’. I was like oh thank you Noel. I then watched Oasis from the side just outside the inner pit and I saw Sonia from Eastenders and she said hello to me, she was really nice. They then played Supersonic, Shakermaker and Acquiesce. It was during Step Out that I just could not believe what happened.

Liam walked off stage and everyone was singin with Noel when all of a sudden Liam came round on the side of the stage and me and my best saw him and he was lookin towards the sits, so I looked at Liam and I shouted ‘Liam!!’ and Liam turned round and looked at me and he started smiling and he could see I had a camera so he knelt down and was smiling waitin for me to take a picture. My camera wouldn’t work so I gave it to my best mate and I think Liam heard me say ‘Jen my camera isn’t workin’ and he stayed in that same position until my best mate had taken a picture. Which I thought was well nice and sweet of him. He was there for ages and he stood up and threw his tambourine which flew straight over my head and started going ‘come on then up here, come on’ and I was going ‘no you come here’ and he was going ‘no you come here’ It was mad I was laughing I could not believe it then the security guards came then but Liam just sat on the speaker waiting to go back on. It was mad.

Liam then went back on and Noel said This one is called Gas Panic. As Noel was gonna start Liam Said ‘NO NO NO NO HEY HEY HEY Listen Listen, I did it all man, I dig all your offspring’s, I dig all ya pets, I dig everything I just don’t like shitholes. Noel then said somethin and started playing Gas Panic and Liam walked over to Noels Mic and said ‘He’s givin me a bad name man’.

The sound was just massive it was unbelievable I just could not get my head round the fact I was actually there in Wembley Stadium watching them live. At the end of the song Noel said ‘How does it sound out there loud enough for ya’. And Liam said ‘You don’t want it to be professional, Genesis’. Then Noel said ‘Hang on a minute don’t knock genesis, anyone who’s got a bald headed drummer and looks like a t**t for a singer’. Liam just gave Noel this dirty look and walked over to him and Noel said ‘I was talkin about Phil Collins, don’t start’ and Liam said ‘I’ll Start in the Bedroom, This is for all the alcoholics and believe it or not Noely G is a bigger p**s head then I ever have, ever been. So this one’s for Noel’. Noel said ‘ Don’t that take some believing hey! If there was 40 cans of beer in my house I was only getting 2 do you know what I mean, which leads me nicely on to the next song.

They then started playin roll with it and by this time I was going absolutely mad singin and practically losin my voice but I didn’t care I was enjoyin my self, havin it large as Liam would say. At the end of the song Gem and Andy started Talkin to each other and Liam said ‘New boys r havin a chat, discussion’. Then Noel said ‘ If I was still doing drugs I’ll be Paranoid, I keep thinkin Matt Dighton gonna come on and kick me off, The Mind boggles’. They then played Stand By Me and I was singin really loud and I was pointin at the screen looking at Noel and going ‘Stand by me no body knows the way its gonna be’ It was brilliant he looked really nice and hearing him play the song live was amazing. Noel then started playin Wonderwall which was excellent by this time it was getting dark so all the lights was going and it was brilliant.

Noel then started playing cigarettes and alcohol which was brilliant and he then went in to Whole Lotta Love by Led Zepplin and it was brilliant. Noel then started singin don’t look back in anger and his voice was unbelievable it was good he let us all sing the chorus’s and even the end and then he did the end him self. Then they did Live Forever and the imaging they was using in the screens was amazing it started off with loadz of writing which then at the end turned into John Lennons face it was really clever and amazing. Then Gem, Andy, Noel and Alan walked of stage and Liam stayed on going ‘Pain in the arse I’m not doin an encore I’m stayin here’ and we all started chantin ‘We love you Liam we do, We love you Liam we do, We love you Liam we do oh Liam we love you! And then Liam said ‘U know I’m in one of those moods, one of those moods u get in, that you can’t get out of’. The others then walked back on and Noel started singin Hey Hey My My. I did’nt even no the song but I still sang along to it and I’ll tell ya what Noel’s voice was amazing. They then went into Champagne Supernova, which was brilliant. Liam then said to Noel ‘Come on one more song, u’ve been shitty all night, seenin it, payin for it’. Noel then said ‘This is the last one Rock ‘N’ Roll Star. Liam said ‘Hey hang on a minute Noely G’s going some where quick’ Noel said ‘I gotta Bus to catch’ Liam said ‘U’re not going anywhere until I get passed another beer’ Noel then looked at us all and said ‘u’ve all got trans to catch’ and Liam said ‘ this is the last one Rock ‘N’ Roll Star’ and Noel said ‘Hang on I just said that’ and Liam said ‘I f**kin meant it’.

Rock ‘N’ Roll Star was excellent I was jumping around and in the chorus tonight I’m a rock n roll star me and jen both shouted it at each other it was pukka, The back grand on the screen was brilliant it showed how Oasis have changed over the years it was really good. Then they all walked off stage, Noel threw his plectrum and Liams Tambourine, Alan threw his drumsticks and they walked off leavin Liam on Stage, Liam was on stage for a bit and then he left. it was one fantastic night one I shall never forget, oasis rules.

Lisa Mills: Reading Festival:

Friday 25 August 2000

I saw Oasis at Reading Festival on Friday 25 August 2000 and they were brilliant. I arrived at the festival with me best mate jen at 7:30pm and just caught The Foo Fighters on stage. Me and Jen were right at the back but when the Foo Fighters came off we just walked to the front, we was only 10 rows from the barrier. At 8:15pm Primal Scream came on stage and it all got a bit rough so we moved back. I turned round to watch the rest of there performance when This bloke behind me started going ‘hey an Oasis fan cool’ and he said ‘Here to see Oasis then’ and I said ‘Yeah’ and he said ‘I’ll be very disappointed in you if your feet touch the ground’ and I said ‘you won’t have to worry about that mate coz your definitely hear me coz I’m gonna go mad when they come out’.

After putting up with nasty rumours of Oasis not even turnin up and splitin up etc at 10:00pm Fuckin in the bushes came blastin out the speakers and we all just went mad shouting ‘Oasis Oasis!’ then they all came out and they started playing Go Let It Out which was just brilliant we was all singin along to it jumping around. They then played Who Feels love which after the song Liam got a kiss from Nicole how sweet!. Supersonic was next which sounded excellent and Liam sang all the words. Then they played Shakermaker and Liam introduced the song and Alan started bangin his drums but it wasn’t the right one and Noel said ‘Hey our drummer needs lessons’ and Liam shouted ‘Where’s the band aids’ Shakermaker was just brilliant and then Liam said ‘We are the baby club’ they then played Acquiesce which Liam and Noel sang brilliant, Me and jen then moved up again coz it was getting too rough. Liam then walked off stage and left Noel, Alan, Gem and Andy and they then played Step Out and Noel said ‘I dedicate this next song to the Stevie Wonder Fan Club, I think you know what I’m talking about’ and he started Step Out which sounded brilliant. Liam came back on stage and said ‘You still do it don’t ya’ and Noel said ‘What’ Liam said ‘You still do drugs don’t ya you ain’t given it up’ Noel said ‘Yes I have’ and Liam said ‘ oh yeah that’s right I’m the crack head around here ain’t I’ and then they played Gas Panic and it was only me and Jen who was singin and jumping around where we was stood then during Roll With It I went mad just jumping around and singin at the top of my voice shouting Oasis Oasis when I could and this bloke goes ‘That’s it nice to see some one enjoyin them selves’ and I said ‘well someone’s gotta have it ain’t they this is Oasis!!!!!!!’ and I just starting singin and jumping around again it was brilliant. Then Roll with it came on and me and jen was singing and jumpin around and so was the bloke next to me and it was great coz we just kept lookin at each other now and again shouting Oasis and he would say ‘Go on girls that’s it go on’ and I shouted ‘Oasis havin it fuckin large’. Stand By Me was next and they were brilliant then Wonderwall and it started rainin and if anythin it got us going even more and when Liam sang the chorus the Lightin would strike but when he stopped it stopped it was well weird. The bloke next to me asked me if I wanted to get on his shoulders and I said ‘Nah it’s alright mate’ It Then went quite and I shouted come on Liam, Noel!!! Oasis you are the fucking gods!!!’ they must of heard me I hope they did, then Cigarettes and Alcohol came on and I shouted ‘Yes’ and sang every word. At the end of the song I was shouting ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger go on Noel’ and Noel said ‘I haven’t sung the chorus in this song for 3 years and it’s not coz it’s rubbish I’ve always had it sung for me’ and then Don’t Look Back In Anger started and he let us all sing the Chorus it was brilliant and Noel said ‘I’m enjoying this’ it was excellent. Liam came back on and they did Live Forever and I was shouting like mad jumping like mad I could hear people behind me going what a nutter but I didn’t care this was Oasis!

They then all went off stage and I started shouting ‘Come on Oasis do an encore, come on Oasis!!!!!, Show Reading what ya made of’ and The bloke next to me shouted ‘Come on Liam don’t let this poor girl down she loves ya she deserves it’ and I shouted ‘Oasis do an encore or I’ll come backstage and come and get ya myself’ and the Bloke said ‘I love this girl she’s great’ and Jen said ‘She would in all’ Then Oasis came back on and I just went mad shouting ‘Oasis you are the gods and you are the best band in the world, come on then Noel show us what you do best’ Noel then did Hey Hey My My and I was the only one who knew the words, they then did Champagne Supernova and then Rock N Roll star. Before Rock n roll star Noel said ‘I don’t know how long we’ve got and they will probably pull the plug on us in a minute but I don’t care, they can charge it to my double platinum card’ and we all shouted ‘Go Noel Oasis Oasis’ Rock n roll star was just unbelievable I was jumping around and singing it at the top of my voice it was excellent and the bloke next to me was going ‘’she is brilliant she has definitely made my night’ me and Jen was again shouting tonight I’m a rock n roll star and I was jumping around in circles it was excellent. When Oasis walked off I was chanting ‘Oasis Oasis’ and Oasis you will live forever’ The bloke then shock my hand and goes ‘Your great you are mate u’ve made my night’ and he told some one next to him ‘Look after my two mates make sure they are ok coz there great’ It was excellent!!!!!!!!

I walked out of the Reading Festival singing Oasis songs at the top of my voice and it was excellent, I had never felt that way since Wembley Oasis were Brilliant that night and I didn’t want it to end.

Lisa Mills: Finsbury Park:

Finsbury Park, London, Saturday 6th July 2002 :

I arrived at finsbury at 11:30 and there was a massive queue, next thing I new everyone just legged it into the second bit and waited until it was time to go in, I spent much of this drinking lots LOL and buying a t-shirt and Program which was quality. Got let in at 1pm which was class I legged it to the bit where ya hand ya tixs over and fell knee first into the mud which was quite funny, got in and just legged it to the front. I got to the 2nd row from front on the side that gem and Andy would be on and had a fantastic view.

The Coral was first on and didn’t like them much, to me they didn’t appreciate us enough by not saying thank you at end of songs and just carrying on, I mean did they actually change to another song?

Proud Mary was just amazing they totally shocked me, they sounded brilliant, they got a few shouts from the crowd shouting 'rip off' but I thought that were good.

Cornershop didn’t get my vote, the only song they got a massive cheer for was brimful of asha after that it was just shouts of 'oasis oasis bring on oasis'

BRMC was fantastic I really liked them thought they did a brilliant set even if I didn’t know all there songs. they went down ok until the end when they played a real longs song and everyone was getting bored and they too was met with oasis oasis oasis.

The charlatans, woah how good were they, Tim burgess sounded amazing wot a vocalist, all the songs got cheered too and most got sung along too, he dedicated there last single (can't think to the life of me wat it was called) to Liam and the last song they did they also dedicated it to Oasis. great band wouldn’t mind seeing them.

Then the moment we were all waiting for, after listening to Tracks such as Town called malice, Penny lane, you really got me, Anarchy in the UK, Pretty vacant, Ticket to ride and helter skelter Oasis took to the stage and wot an entrance they made (by this time I was lifted out of the front and ended up right at the back, still had a fantastic view though) Hello sounded fantastic I have never heard this song live before so it was a first, The Hindu times was brilliant, Columbia sounded class. Stop crying ya heart out, little by little everyone was singing and oasis played them brilliantly. During Live Forever some lad jumped on top of the ice cream van was dancing about which was well funny, the van was shaking about and the owner and the police were trying to get him off, in the end he jumped off the van and legged it lol. I loved liams 2 songs better man and born on a different cloud. the loudest cheer of the night came from don't look back in anger and Some might say which everyone just sung it as loud as they could totally brilliant. My generation sounded good too.

Overall Oasis sounded totally different to when I saw them at Wembley and every song was just amazing and blew me away, I didn’t wanna leave and I didn’t want them to go either. the crowd was fantastic, atmosphere unbelievable and would I do it all over again totally.

I walked out singing along to Revolution which was brilliant. Got home just after 1am and ached from head to toe but it was totally worth it.

Lisa Mills: Oasis TOTP Competition Prize:

My night at TOTP seeing oasis recording a special show 11 April 2002.I arrived at BBC TV studios at 17:30 and met up with other oasis fans who were waiting too, two peeps from the Record label came over and asked for ID and then gave out the tixs. At 19:30 we went into TOTP studios and I was amazed at seein all of oasis equipment on the stage, guitars, mics, tambourine and lots of effects units it was just unbelievable. Then We watched David Byrne and co do this song called Lazy which we all had to cheer real loud and then dance to while the cameras were recording and then do a massive cheer and clap etc at the end. They sounded good, the song was ok kinda liked it even if I did feel kinda stupid dancing. We then decided to move toward the back as we needed air. Stereophonics was the next act on and they did Leaving Las Vegas 2 times and it was then while they were playin that I turned round and saw Alan White sat there at the keyboard watchin them play. I just said ‘oh my god there’s Alan white, and I said hello Alan real quietly. He didn’t hear me though lol. Then Stereophonics did Bartender and the Thieves which was just amazing live, and I was enjoyin it I then saw Liam stood beside Alan and I just couldn’t believe my eyes and kept sayin to my self ‘there’s Liam he’s really here’ we all cheered well loud at the end and we had to wait to see if it had recorded properly and stuff. The next act to play was a band called The Vines who I had not heard of before. They sounded Not to bad but did this weird thing during one of the words they sang, My Friend Haze was takin the Mickey and kept sayin it, it was funny. The song was short but we all cheered and clapped. They didn’t sound all that bad really they did all right. By this time I was squashed against one of oasis monitors and desperately trying to stay on my feet. (Yes I touched there monitors) I also saw the lyrics to My generation on the floor lol, then we had to be real silent while this women called Sara did her bit (she is the presenter of the show) it was funny coz she kept messin up HA HA and some lad behind was goin "it’ll be alright on the night". She got there in the end and we all had to cheer. It was then we had to cheer for Garth gates and this was very hard for me. But I decided to be respectful, he wasn’t there or anything but we had to cheer when we saw him on the screen. It was quite funny coz while everyone was cheering you could hear a couple of boos and it had to be redone. Then Faithless came on and did that song with that ex take that person who wasn’t there. I wonder why that was, something to do with Liam being there I wonder. We all had to cheer at the start and end of the song. Then Ladies first did their bit they were blatantly miming it was funny coz we all had to act as if they were singing live.

Then the bit we had all been waiting for Oasis. We all surrounded the stage and I was near the front I was just behind this lad and Oasis came out and we all cheered. Liam was stood right in front of me, I just could not believe how close I was to them all. They all looked amazing. The first song they did was Hindu times which just sounded amazing, Liam’s vocals were class and Noel, Gem, Alan and Andy sounded amazing. We then had to wait to see if the recording came out, Then the producer goes there’s a change to there set there gonna do hung in a bad place and Liam shouts no were doin stop crying your heart out, it was funny coz the producer had to just agree with them and so the next song oasis did was stop cryin your heart out. That song almost reduced me to tears it was such a beautiful song, like the master plan, the lyrics suited how I was kinda feelin and Liam’s vocals were soft and the music was just top. They had to redo that one as there was noise bein picked up and Liam shouts ‘Sort it out Gareth get rid of that noise’ they redone the song and at the end Liam said ‘Gareth stop hidin and sort it fookin out’ and then Liam’s says ‘we love you really Gareth’ (Gareth is there engineer) Liam then went off and noel took over as lead vocals and sung a song called Forces of Nature, this song is a real heavy number and sounds excellent couldn’t hear noels vocals to well or gems (yes gem was singin backing vocals) still sounded a class song though, Noel looked great he is an amazing guitarist it was after this song that Noel walked over to gem and Andy and started chatting to them about something, I could kinda hear his voice but didn’t know what he was saying but they all laughed . Then Liam came back out and He seemed in a better mood this time, it was during the waiting around someone asks ‘Liam how’s ya baby?’ and Liam’s reply was ‘I don’t know you, he is fine thanks how’s yours’ and then they started their next song songbird which Liam wrote. It sounded brilliant and they had to redo it coz Liam’s vocals wasn’t being picked up, it was then one of the workers at TOTP stood at Liam’s mic going ‘Liam’s mic Liam’s mic 1,2,1,2’ while he was doin that Liam was stood behind him doin all this jesters it was well funny and then when the bloke was walkin off Liam goes ‘aye aye sailor’ and the band and all of us was laughin it was well funny.

The next song oasis did was Acquiesce and it got to the second chorus and Noels guitar string just broke off, leavin a puzzled Noel just stood there goin nope and shaking his head. While noel was getting another guitar some one goes to Liam ‘Liam pg tips or Typhoo’ and Liam said ‘PG Tips while what do you have’ then they went into acquiesce for the second time and we was all goin mad singing along etc. Liam went off and noel did don’t look back in anger was excellent as always. Liam came back out and started chatting with some of the lads at the front while waiting for the clear to start. They then did my generation and it just totally blew me away it sounded amazing they then walked off, Alan stood up and goes who wants my sticks and we all cheered and he bend down and threw one which I almost got but it hit the camera man who then threw it else where which annoyed me and the others was chucked in all directions. Haze grabbed the set list and she gave it to me and I was like cheers haze thank you. It’s got Liam’s footprint on it HA HA. Haze asked for a bottle of water and got gems unopened one and we then walked out. All I kept saying to haze was that was amazing they were excellent and I still can’t believe how close I was. I couldn’t I felt as though I was gonna wake up any minute and it was all a dream.

One class night oasis you were amazing thank u guy’s respect.

Oasisweb: Complete Oasis song lyrics:

DEFINATELY MAYBE:

 

Rock 'n' Roll Star:
I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I've gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
You're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you're concerned about the way I feel

Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star

I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I've gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
Well, that to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
You're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now you're concerned about the way I feel

Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star

You're not down with who I am
Look at you now, you're all in my hands
Tonight

Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star

It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll

 

Shakermaker:
I'd like to be somebody else and not know where I've been
I'd like to build myself a house out of plasticine
Shake along with me
I've been driving in my car with my friend Mr. Soft
Mr. Clean and Mr. Ben are living in my loft
Shake along with me!

I'm sorry but I just don't know I know
I said I told you so
But when you're happy and you're feeling fine
Then you'll know it's the right time
It's the right time
To shake along with me!

Mister Sifter sold me songs
when I was just sixteen
Now he stops at traffic lights
but only when they're green

 

Live Forever:
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Forever

 

Up In The Sky:
Hey you! Up in the sky
Learning to fly
Tell me how high
Do you think you'll go
Before you start falling
Hey you! Up in a tree
You wanna be me
But that couldn't be
Cos the people here they don't hear you calling
How does it feel
When you're inside me?

Hey you! wearing the crown
Making no sound
I heard you feel down
Well that's too bad
Welcome to my world
Hey you! Stealing the light
I heard that the shine's
Gone out of your life.
Well that's just too bad
Welcome to my world

You'll need assistance with the things that you have never ever seen
It's just a case of never breathing out
Before you've breathed it in
How does it feel
When you're inside me?

Hey you! Up in the sky
Learning to fly
Tell me how high Do you think you'll go
Before you start falling
Hey you! Up in a tree
You wanna be me
But that couldn't be
Cos the people here they don't hear you calling
How does it feel
When you're inside me?

You'll need assistance with the things that you have never ever seen
It's just a case of never breathing out
Before you've breathed it in
How does it feel
When you're inside me?

 

Columbia:
There we were now here we are
All this confusion nothings the same to me
There we were now here we are
All this confusion nothings the same to me

But I can't tell you the way I feel
Because the way I feel is oh so! new to me
No I can't sell you the way I feel
Because the way I feel is oh so! new to me

What I heard is not what I hear
I can see the signs but they're not very clear
What I heard is not what I hear
I can see the signs but they're not very clear

This is confusion am I confusing you?

 

Supersonic:
I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your BMW ?
You can sail with me in my yellow submarine

You need to find out
'Cos no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
You need to find a way for what you want to say
But before tomorrow

'Cos my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call

You need to be yourself
You can't be no one else
I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer
She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train
She made me laugh
I got her autograph
She done it with a doctor on a helicopter
She's sniffin in her tissue
Sellin' the Big Issue

She needs to find out
'Cos no one's gonna tell you what I'm on about
She needs to find a way for what she wants to say
But before tomorrow

'Cos my friend said he'd take you home
He sits in a corner all alone
He lives under a waterfall
No body can see him
No body can ever hear him call

 

Bring It On Down:
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
Today was just a blur, you gotta head like a ghost train
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
You're here on your own who you gonna find to blame?

You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast

You're the un-invited guest who stays 'till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe tonight.

Bring it on down. Bring it down for me
Your head's in a fish tank
Your body and your mind can't breath

You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast

You're the un-invited guest who stays 'till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe tonight.

 

Cigarettes & Alcohol:
Is it my imagination
Or have I finally found something worth living for?
I was looking for some action
But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
It's a crazy situation
But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol!

You could wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine
You might as well do the white line
Cos when it comes on top . . .

You gotta make it happen!

 

Digsy's Dinner:
What a life it would be
If you would come to mine for tea
I'll pick you up at half past three
And we'll have lasagne
I'll treat you like a Queen
I'll give you strawberries and cream
And then your friends will all go green
For my lasagne

These could be the best days of our lives
But I don't think we've been living very wise
Oh no! no!

What a life it would be
If you would come to mine for tea
I'll pick you up at half past three
And we'll have lasagne

These could be the best days of our lives
But I don't think we've been living very wise
Oh no! no!

What a life it would be
If you would come to mine for tea
I'll pick you up at half past three
And we'll have lasagne I'll treat you like a Queen
I'll give you strawberries and cream
And then your friends will all go green
For my lasagne

 

Slide Away:
Slide away - and give it all you've got
My today - fell in from the top
I dream of you - and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Hold me down - all the world's asleep
I need you now - you've knocked me off my feet
I dream of you - we talk of growing old
But you said please don't !

Slide in baby - together we'll fly
I've tried praying - and I know just what you're saying to me

Now that you're mine
I'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one that shines with you
In the morning when you don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done

Let me be the one that shines with you
And we can slide away.

Slide away - and give it all you've got
My today - fell in from the top
I dream of you - and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Slide in baby - together we'll fly
I've tried praying - and I know just what you're saying to me

Now that you're mine
I'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one that shines with you
In the morning when you don't know what to do
Two of a kind We'll find a way
To do what we've done

 

Married With Children:

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that even though you
Know you're wrong you say you're right
I hate the books you read and all your friends
Your music's shite it keeps me up all night

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that you are so sarcastic
And you're not very bright
You think that everything you've done's fantastic
Your music's shite it keeps me up all night

And it will be nice to be alone
For a week or two
But I know that I will be
Right back here with you

There's no need for you to say you're sorry
Goodbye I'm going home
I don't care no more so don't you worry
Goodbye I'm going home

I hate the way that even though you
Know you're wrong you say you're right
I hate the books you read and all your friends
Your music's shite it keeps me up all night

WHAT'S THE STORY MORNING GLORY:

Hello:
I don't feel as if I know you
You take up all my time
The days are long and the night will throw you away
Coz the sun don't shine
Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And it's never gonna be the same
Cos the years are following by like the rain
And it's never gonna be the same
'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
Hello

There ain't no sense in feeling lonely
They got no faith in you
But I've got a feeling you still owe me
So wipe the shit from your shoes
Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And it's never gonna be the same
Cos the years are following by like the rain
And it's never gonna be the same
'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
Hello

Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
It's good to be back

 

Roll With It:
You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take

Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me

I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking of things that I just can't abide

I know the roads down which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door
But you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take

I know the roads down which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door
But you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before

You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take

Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me

I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside

 

Wonderwall:
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

 

Don't Look Back In Anger:
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd once never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I'll start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

So I'll start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
At least not today

 

Hey Now:
I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
I never did find my way back

You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me

I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! Hey now!

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame

The first thing I saw
As I walked through the door
Was a sign on the wall that read
It said you might never know
That I want you to know
What is written inside of your head

And time as it stands
Won't be held in my hands
Or living inside of my skin
And as it fell from the sky
I asked myself why
Can I never let anyone in?

I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! Hey now!

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame

I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
I never did find my way back

You know that I gotta say time's slipping away
And what will it hold for me
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you
You're standing ignoring me

I thought that I heard someone say now
There's no time for running away now
Hey now! Hey now!

Feel no shame - cos time's no chain
Feel no shame

 

Some Might Say:
Some might say that sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine
Some might say that we should never ponder
On our thoughts today cos they will sway over time

Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day

Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
Cos she's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend

Some might say they don't believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell
Some might say you get what you've been given
If you don't get yours I won't get mine as well

Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day

Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
Cos she's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend

 

Cast No Shadow:
Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to say
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride

Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life
surviving if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to say
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow

As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride
As they took his soul they stole his pride

And as he faced the sun he cast no shadow

 

She's Electric:

She's electric
She's in a family full of eccentrics
She done things I never expected
And I need more time
She's got a sister
And god only knows how I've missed her
On the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time

And I want you to know
I've got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what I'm saying?
But I need more ....
Coz I'll be you and you'll be me
There's lots and lots for us to see
There's lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?

She's got a brother
We don't get on with one another
But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me
She's got a cousin
In fact she's got 'bout a dozen
She's got one in the oven
But it's nothing to do with me

And I want you to know
I've got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what I'm saying?
But I need more ....
Coz I'll be you and you'll be me
There's lots and lots for us to see
There's lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?


Morning Glory:

All your dreams are made
When you're chained to (your) mirror with (your) razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon

Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon

Champagne Supernova:

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high

 

 

BE HERE NOW:

 

D'You Know What I Mean?:

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax and must be mine
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker
I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, yeah

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me


My Big Mouth:
Everybody knows ... but no-one's saying nothing
And it's a sound so very loud ... that no-one can hear
I got something in my shoe ... it's keeping me from walking
Down the long and winding road ... back home to you

Around this town you've ceased to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame for ...

My big mouth, my big name
Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Into my big mouth you could fly a plane
Who'll put on my shoes while they're walking
Slowly down the hall of fame?
Slowly down the hall of fame

I ain't never spoke to God
And I ain't never been to heaven
But you assumed I knew the way
Even though the map was given
And as you look into the eyes
Of a bloody cold assasin
Only then you'll realize
With who's life you have been messin'

 

Magic Pie:
An extraordinary guy
Can never have an ordinary day,
He might live a long goodbye
But that is not for me to say
I dig his friends, I dig his shoes
But he is just a child with nothing to lose
But his mind

They are sleeping while they dream
And then they want to be adored
They who don't say what they mean
Will live and die by their own sword.
I dig their friends, I dig their shoes
But they are like a child with nothing to lose
In their minds, their minds.

But I'll have my way
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine

Cos you see me I got my Magic Pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone.

There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years
Many minds to educate and people who have disappeared
D'you dig my friends? D'you dig my shoes?
I am like a child with nothing to lose but my mind
My mind

 

Stand By Me:
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I believe in one day
Before my heart starts to burn.

So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new ... Don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go, away

Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find behind the door

Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be

If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
But there is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home

 

I Hope I Think I Know:
They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I've gotta keep running
The future is mine and it's no disgrace
Cos in the end the past means nothing

You tell me I'm free then you tie me down
And from my chains I think it's a pity
What did it cost you to wear my crown
You dont like me why don't you admit it

D'you feel a little down today?
Bet you ain't got much to say?
But your gonna miss me when I'm not there
You know I dont care, You know I dont care

As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I Hope, I Think, I Know
And if I hear the names you call
If I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all, You'll never forget my name

 

The Girl In The Dirty Shirt:
If I may be so bold could I just say something
Come and make me my day
The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing
But I can chase them all away

Why d'you need a reason for to feel happy
Or be shining for the rest of the world
Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy
Get your shit together girl

You got a feeling lost inside
It just won't let you go
Your life is sneaking up behind
It just won't let you go
No it just won't let you go
What I'm trying to say ...

Is would you maybe, come dancing me
Cos to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something you make me believe
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
Knows exactly what she's worth to me!
That I can see, I can see

If you ever find yourself inside a bubble
You've gotta find your own way home
You can call me anytime you're seeing double
Now you know you're not alone

 

Fade In-Out:
Get on the rollercoaster
The fair's in town today
Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave

So get on the helter skelter
Bowl into the fray
Y'gotta be bad-enough to beat the brave

You fade in-out
You fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't see no shine
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow we'll be castaway

Coming in-out of nowhere
Singin' rhapsody
Y'gotta be bad-enough to wanna be

Sitting upside a high chair
With the devils refugee
Is gonna be blinded by the light
That follows me

She fade in-out
She fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't see no shine
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow she'll be castaway

 

Don't Go Away:
Cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind

I don't wanna be there when you're ...
Coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground

So dont go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day ... In the time of my life
Cos I need more time, yes I need more time just to make things right

Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind

Me and you whats going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

 

Be Here Now:
Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touchdown bass living on the run
Make no sweat at the hole that you're digging

Wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city in the sun

Kicking up a storm from the day that I was born
Sing a song for me one from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside

 

All Around The World:
It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I want to be
I don't believe in everything I see
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree

So take me away cos I just dont want to stay
Cos all the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

All Around The World, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard
You're gonna make a better day
All Around The World, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you heard
You know it's gonna be okay

So what you gonna do when the walls come falling down?
You never move you never make a sound
So where you gonna swim with the ridges that you found?
If you're lost at sea then I hope that you've drowned

 

It's Gettin' Better Man:

Say Something shout it from the roof tops off your head
Make it sort of mean something make me understand or I'll forget
The people here on life's beaches they wish upon the waves that hide the sand
Let them know that life teaches you to build a castle in the hand

Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
So bring it on home and it wont be long
It's getting better man!

Hey! What was that you said to me?
Just say the word and I'd be free?
And where the stars are shining bright
It's getting better man!
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And We're the fire in the sky
We're getting better man!

Build something build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing you'll never-ever feel that you're alone

 

STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS:

 

Go Let It Out:
Paint no illusion, try to click with whatcha got
Taste every potion cos if yer like yerself a lot
Go let it out, go let it in, go let it out

Life is precocious in a most perculiar way
Sister psychosis don't got a lot to say
She go let it out, she go let it in, she go let it out
She go let it out, she go let it in, she go let it out

Is it any wonder why Princes & Kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
And ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the keepers of their destiny

I'm goin' leaving this city, I'm goin' drivin' outta town
Your comin' with me the right time is always now
To go let it out, go let it in, go let it out
To go let it out, go let it in, go let it out

Is it any wonder why Princes and Kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
Cos ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny

So go let it out - go let it in
Go let it out - don't let it in
Go let it out - go let it in
Go let it out - don't let it - don't let it in

 

Who Feels Love:
Found what I'd lost inside
My spirit has been purified
Take a thorn from my pride
And hand in hand we'll take a walk outside

Thank you for the sun the one that shines on everyone
Who feels love
Now there's a million years between my fantasies & fears
I feel love

I'm leaving all that I see
Now all my emotions fill the air I breath

Now you understand that this is not the promised land
They spoke of
There's nothing more to be
If you can be the remedy who heals love

 

Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is:
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer mamma sez that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer mamma sez that you was real

Ready or not, come what may
The bets are going down for judgement day
So put yer money in yer mouth
And your hands right upon the wheel

Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer pappa sez that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer pappa sez that you was real

Ready or not, and come what may
You betcha going down on judgement day
So put yer money in yer mouth
And yer hands right upon the wheel

 

Little James:
Little James, we're all the same
They always seem to look to us
But we weren't meant to be grown ups
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

You live for your toys, even though they make noise
Have you ever played with plastercine
Or even tried a trampoline
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

I'm singing this song for you and your mum that's all
'Cos it won't be long before everyone is gone

Sailed out to sea, your mum you and me
You swam the ocean like a child
Life around us was so wild
Thank you for your smile
You make it all worthwhile to us

I'm singing this song for you and your mum that's all
And it won't be long before everyone is gone

 

Gas Panic:
What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name but I can't be certain
And in me he starts to confide

That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
Better get on yer knees and pray panic is on the way

My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost dancer
My eyes are dead and my throat's like a black hole
And if there's a god would he give another chancer
An hour to sing for his soul

Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
Yer better get on yer knees and pray panic is on the way

Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
Then you get on your knees and you better pray
Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
Yer better get on yer knees and pray
Panic is on the way
Panic is on the way

 

Where Did It All Go Wrong:
You know that feeling you get
You feel you're older than time
You ain't exactly sure
If you've been away a while

Do you keep the receipts
For the friends that you buy
And ain't it bittersweet
You were only just getting by

But I hope you know
That it won't let go
It sticks around with you until the day you die
And I hope you know that it's touch and go
I hope the tears don't stain the world that waits outside
Where did it all go wrong?

And until you've repaid
The dreams you bought for your lies
You'll be cast away
Alone under the stormy skies

But I hope you know
That it won't let go
It sticks around with you until the day you die
And I hope you know that it's touch and go
I hope the tears don't stain the world that waits outside
Where did it all go wrong?

 

Sunday Morning Call:
Here's another sunday morning call
Yer hear yer head-a-banging on the door
Slip your shoes on and then out you crawl
Into a day that couldn't give you more
But what for?

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
You take what you want
But you won't get it for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But i'm not sure if it ever works out right
But it's ok. It's all right

When yer lonely and you start to hear
The little voices in your head at night
You will only sniff away the tears
So you can dance until the morning light
At what price?

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
You take what you want
But you won't get it for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it ever works out right
But it's ok. It's all right

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
When you take what you want
You don't get hope for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
And I'm not sure if it'll ever, ever, ever work out right
Will it ever, ever, ever work out right?
Cos it never, never, never works out right

 

I Can See A Liar:
Baby the time is right to tell it all like it is
And now that I feel god like there's nothing that can't be kissed
The name of a lonely soul is scratched into my brain
He thought he was king creole
Until he found out, until he found out

He sits upon a throne
He lives a sleazy lie
But he's all alone again, again

I can see a liar, sitting by the fire
Trouble in his heart, laughing at the thought
Coming as he goes into overdose
I wonder what he thinks of me?

 

Roll It Over:

I can give a hundred million reasons
To build a barricade
I blame it on the changing of the seasons
The thoughts that I've conveyed

Does it make it all right?
It doesn't make it all right

To roll it over my soul and leave me here
Roll it over my soul and leave me here

Look around at all the plastic people
Who live without a care
Try to sit with me around my table
But never bring a chair

Does it make it all right?
It doesn't make it all right

To roll it over my soul and leave me here
Roll it over my soul and leave me here

HEATHEN CHEMISTRY:

 

The Hindu Times:
I get up - when I'm down
I can't swim - but my soul won't drown
I do believe - I got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

Cos God gimme soul and all rock'n'roll (babe)
Cos God gimme soul and all rock'n'roll (babe)

And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain, runnin' through my veins
Cos you're my sunshine you're my rain

There's a light - that shines on
Shines - on - me - and it keeps me warm
It gimme peace - I must say
I can't sleep - cos the world won't wait

 

Force Of Nature:
Yeah I feel like the force of nature
could make you sing like a bird released
If what you seek is the wise man's treasure
you know it's buried beneath your feet
You know you look like faded picture
I see the cracks freezing on your skin
and as the world slowly turns and hits you
that the thieves of the night
are coming to take you in

For smoking all my stash
and burning all my cash
I bet you knew right away
it's all over town that
the sun's going down
on the days of your easy life.

I bet you knew right away
you dope you don't know where it's at
It's all over town
that the sun's gone down
and it's high time to pray.

Yeah I feel like the force of nature
could make you sing like a bird released
If what you seek is the wise man's treasure
you know it's buried beneath your feet
You know you look like a faded picture
I see the cracks frozen on your skin
and as the world slowly turns and hits you
then the thieves of the night
are coming to take you in

For smoking all my stash
and burning all my cash
I bet you knew right away
it's all over town that
the sun's going down
on the days of your easy life.

I bet you knew right away
you dope you don't know where it's at
It's all over if you're begging me please
then get on your knees and pray.

For smoking all my stash
and burning all my cash
I bet you knew right away
it's all over town that
the sun's gone down
and it's high time to pray

 

Hung In A Bad Place:
I can go where I wanna
Be who I wanna be now
I can sleep under water
Never worried what I'm gonna dream now

Yeah the times come and gone
And I know where I'm from
And can be so
It's hasta mañana
You're on your own banana skin feet now

Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
Had no sun over my face
Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
For too long

I can say what I wanna
Feel how I wanna feel now
I can squeeze all the hours
I choose to devour with ease now

I can sing to the trees
Tarzan on harmonies for free yeah
You've been blocked and you're stalling
Nature is calling for me (you got me!)

Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
Had no sun over my face
Yeah I've been hung in a bad place
For too long

 

Stop Crying Your Heart Out:
Hold up hold on don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone

May your smile. Shine on. Don't be scared
Your destiny may keep you warm.

Cos all of the stars are fading away
Just try not to worry you'll see them some day
Take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Get up. Come on why you scared
You'll never change what been and gone

 

Song Bird:
Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a place not far away
She's a little pilot in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kinds of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone

 

Little By Little:
We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Faded like the stars we wish to be

Y'know I didn't mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of His bed
And it just don't matter now

Little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
As little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to live it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here?

True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come and now you'll have to accept
The life inside your head we gave to you

 

Probably All In The Mind:
Show me who you are
I'll show you what you love
I'll give you half the world if that's enough

Let me take you down
Let me hear you smile
Let me rest my head here for a while

In the end we'll leave it all behind
Because the life I think I'm trying to find
Is probably all in the mind

Show me who you are
I'll show you what you love
I'll give you all the world if that's enough

 

She Is Love:
Oh when the sunshine beckons to ya
And your wings begin to unfold
the thoughts you bring and the songs you sing
are gonna keep me from the cold

And if the sword is among ya
and its words may wound my soul
you can fill me up with what you've got
cos my heart's been keeping old

 

Born On A Different Cloud:
Born on a different cloud
from the ones that have burst round town
It's no surprise to me
that yer classless, clever and free

Loaded just like the gun
You're the hero that's still unsung
Living on borrowed time
You're my sun and you're gonna shine

Talking to myself again
This time I think I'm getting through
It's funny how you think
It's funny when you do

Lonely soul
Busy working overtime
Nothing ever gets done
Specially when your hands are tied

Lonely soul
Baking up your mother's pride
Nothing ever gets done
Not until your war's won

 

Better Man:

I wanna love you
I wanna be a better man
I don't wanna hurt you
I just wanna see what's in you hand

But all right now, yeah, yeah
Well all right now, yeah, yeah

And I know you'll understand
And I know you'll understand

I wanna love you
I wanna be a better man
I don't wanna hurt you
I just wanna see what's in you hand

But all right now, yeah, yeah
Well all right now, yeah, yeah

And I know you'll understand
And I know you'll understand

 

 

B-SIDES:

 

TAKE ME AWAY:

Just when it falls apart
And when it's time to start
Will you sit down here for another day
And when it's time to be
All the things that we
Are wishing away for another day

Cos in my soul we know where we're goin
We're goin where the grass is green, the air is clean and the good times are growin'
So take me away
Just for today
Cos I'm sat here on my own
I'd like to be
Under the sea
Where they'd probaly need a phone

And just when it falls apart
And just when it's time to start
Will you sit down here for another day

Cos in my soul we know where we're goin
We're goin where the grass is green, the air is clean and the good times are growin'
So take me away
Just for today
Cos I'm sat here on my own
I'd like to be
Under the sea
Where they'd probaly need a phone
I could be you
If I wanted to
But I've never got the time
You could be me
And pretty soon you will be
But you're gonna need a line

Need a line
Need a line
Need a line

I WILL BELIEVE:

I'm locked up in chains
For the rest of my life
There's no one else to blame but me

The start of the day's
Just the end of the night
I'm feeling like I'm lost at sea
Sometimes is just seems so simple
I'm feeling like I'm down on my knees
Sometimes like a man in the middle
I don't know my own mind
Won't you let me be

Coz I can find you
Living in my world
Dragging me round
Just like a dog on a lead
But when I find my
Own peace of mind I
I will believe

I'm locked up in chains
For the rest of my life
There's no one else to blame but me

Coz I can find you
Living in my world
Dragging me round
Just like a dog on a lead
But when I find
My own peace of mind I
I will believe
I will believe

D'YER WANNA BE A SPACEMAN?:

I haven't seen your face round
Since I was a kid
You're bringing back those memories
Of the thing that we did
You're hangin round
And climbing trees
Pretending to fly
D'Yer wanna be a spaceman
And live in the sky

You got how many bills to pay
And how many kids
And you forgot about
The things that we did
The town where we're living
Has made you a man
And all of your dreams
Are washed in the sand

Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town.

It's funny how your dreams
Change as you're growing old
You don't wanna be no spaceman
You just want gold
Dream stealers
Are lying in wait
But if you wanna be a spaceman
It's still not too late

Well it's alright
It's alright
Who are you and me to say
What's wrong and what's right
Do you still feel like me
We sit down here
And we shall see
We can talk
And find common ground
And we can just forget
About feeling down
We can just forget
About life in this town.

ALIVE:

The people will notice
That the times are changing
It's just time for now
But not time for good it's my feelings
That I think you're training
Take them now
If you think you should

You want something for nothing
The higher that you climb
The longer you fall
Maybe your time is coming
Will you ask to climb
When you find the wall
Is it time to doubt?
Is it time to wait?
Will you be left alone
At the starting gate
I'm not blind
And I do mind
Coz I've had time
now I'm alive

The people have noticed
That the times are changing
But are they gonna
Be something now I think I've seen you
All hesitating I think I'll go
And be something now

You want something for nothing
The higher that you climb
The longer you fall
Maybe your time is coming
Will you ask to climb
When you find the wall
Is it time to doubt?
Is it time to wait?
Will you be left alone
At the starting gate
I'm not blind
And I do mind
Coz I've had time
Now I'm alive

Yeah I'm alive
Now I'm alive
Yeah I'm alive

CLOUDBURST:

Wake up! there's a new day dawning
think I'll take a walk for a while
I need shades cos the sun is shining
And I can see for miles and miles
I can feel the earth beneath me
I lie down we are as one
And they look but they cannot find me
Coz I'm off heading for the sun

But it's getting colder
I feel a chill in the air
There's a change in the weather
Here it comes again
I can feel the rain

The wind that brings on the change
Is making me older
The wind that brings on the rain
Is taking me over

Downtown a moon is shining
I'm gonna dress up in style
And my business everybody's minding
I need to get away for a while

But it's getting colder
I feel a chill in the air
There's a change in the weather
Here it comes again
I can feel the rain

The wind that brings on the change
Is making me older
The wind that brings on the rain
Is taking me over

I AM THE WALRUS:

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run Iike pigs from a gun, see how they fly, I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, You beer naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Expert textpert choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied, I'm crying

Semolina pilchards, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
G'goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, goo

LISTEN UP:

Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up
To the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

Day by day
There's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts
That you think and the words
They won't let you say

One fine day
Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad
If I had more time

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own

REPEAT

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find
My way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own

FADE AWAY:

When I was young
I thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I'm sure
You've boarded up every door

Lived in a bubble
Days were never ending
Was not concerned
About what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much
About the way I feel

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away

Now my life has turned
Another corner
I think it's only best
That I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday I'll make you understand

I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for

While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
They fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away

ITS GOOD TO BE FREE:

Head like a rock spinning round and round
I found it in a hole sitting upside down
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
You demand the answers but I don't know why in my mind
There is no time

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

So what would you say if I said to you
It's not in what you say it's in what you do
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind there is no time

But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free

HALF THE WORLD AWAY:

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down.

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

TALK TONIGHT:

Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young

I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life

I wanna talk tonight

ACQUIESCE:

I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

I hope that I can say
The things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep
And take me back to bed
You want to be alone
When we could be alive instead

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(And) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

There are many things
That I would like to know
And there are many places
That I wish to go
But everything's depending
On the way the wind may blow
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake
The things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light
That shines behind your eyes

Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(And) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Yeah, we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Because we need
Because we need

HEADSHRINKER:

I know a girl who's lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
Needs a headshrinker now
And I think its time we had some fun

Lost in a fog
Up a tree like a dog
And I'm out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives

For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives

ITS BETTER PEOPLE:

It's better people love one another
'Cause livin' your life can be tough
It's better people speak to each other
Your shame is not enough

If everybody came alive
And stayed alive
And lived their lives instead, yeah
So come outside
And feel the light
It's cold inside
But it's lonely in your bed
In your bed

And though we might be
But what you heard before
Was only sleepin' in your brain
But if you came with me
The days'd never end
Would never be the same
They'd never be the same
They'd never be the same
Never be the same
It's better people love one another
'Cause livin' your life can be tough
It's better people speak to each other
Your shame is not enough

If everybody came alive
And stayed alive
And lived their lives instead, yeah
So come outside
And feel the light
It's cold inside
But it's lonely in your bed
In your bed

And though we might be
But what you heard before
Is sleeping in your brain
But if you came with me
The days'd never end
Would never be the same
They'd never be the same
They'd just go by a different name
They'd never be the same

ROCKIN' CHAIR:

I'm older than I'd wish to be
This town hold no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day

It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play

It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much to take
When you're not there

ROUND ARE WAY:

The paper boy is working before he goes
Lying to the teacher he knows he knows
He didn't and he should've
Brought his lines in yesterday
Ernie bangs the sound and the day begins
The letterbox is open and your cash falls in
I'll meet you at the office
Just before the staff clock in

Round are way the birds are singing
Round are way the sun shines bright
Round are way the birds sing for yer
The already know yer

The game is kicking off in around the park
It's twenty five a side and before it's dark
There's gonna be a loser
And you know the next goal wins
Cab it to the front as it's called a draw
Everybody's knockin at yours once more
Ernie bangs the sound
And no one's spoken since half past four

Round are way the birds are singing
Round are way the sun shines bright
Round are way the birds are minging
Round are way it's alright
Round are way the birds sing for you
Cos the already know yer
They already know yer

THE MASTERPLAN:

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Bring them back with Acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they fall upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan

I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...

Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan

STEP OUT:

What she said
She said to me
Take me high on a mountain side
She was dressed up in leopard skin
And her soul would never be denied

I met her down the disco in a beat up car
She was burning down the road
She looked just like a star with a Jaguar
She needs to lighten her load

And when you might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

You might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

What I said I said to her
I'm alive when you walk that way
Can you hear what I can hear?
It's the sound of a brand new day

She met me down a disco in a beat up car
I was burning down the road
I can be a star in a Jaguar
I need to lighten my load

Because you might think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

You might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

My whole life still sinking in the water
I need a ship not your sweet lip tonight

You might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

You might
Think you're gonna cry
It will be all right
Step out tonight

UNDERNEATH THE SKY:

Underneath the sky of red
Is a storyteller sleeping alone
He has no face and he has no name
And his whereabouts are sort of unknown

All he needs is his life ln a suitcase
It belongs to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves
We'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky, underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again

So wish me away to an unknown place
Am I living in a land with no name
I'll be making a start with a brand new heart
Stop me making sense again

All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend's
And as we drink to ourselves
We'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky, underneath the sky again
Underneath the sky again

CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE:

So you think you got an evil mind

STAY YOUNG:

One way out is all you're ever gonna get
From those who'll hand it out don't never let it upset you
Cos they'll put words into our mouths they're making us feel so ashamed

Making us take the blame
Making us cold in the night
Making us question my heart and soul
And I think that it's not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible
Cos we know just what we are
And come what may we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are

Feed your head with all the things you need
When you're hungry
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday
Cos they'll put words into your mouth they're making you feel so ashamed

ANGEL CHILD:

Won't you take me
Won't you take me to the edge of night and make me
Won't you make me walk into the light
And there'll be no eyes
No eyes that see such beauty would lose their sight
And there'll be no lies
No lies that you could tell me to make things right

Cos I gave all my money to people and things
And the price I'm still playing for the shit that it brings
Doesn't fill me with hope for the songs that you sing
Tonight, this is your life
Angel child

When you find out
When you find out who you are you know you'll be free
To see your own ability
But there'll be no eyes
No eyes that see such beauty would lose their sight
And there'll be no lies
No lies that you could tell me to make things right

Cos I gave all my money to people and things
And the price I'm still playing for the shit that it brings
Doesn't fill me with hope for the songs that you sing
Tonight, this is your life
Angel child
Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child of mine

Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child
Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child of mine
Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child
Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child

HEROES:

I, I wish I could swim
Just like a dolphin, like dolphins can swim
And nothing, is gonna keep us together
And we can beat them, for ever and ever
Cos we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you're gonna be my queen
Yeah but nothing, is gonna drive us away
Cos we can be Heroes, just for one day
And we're gonna be ourselves, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
When I was standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And then the guns, they shot over our heads (over our heads)
And then we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
Well then the shame, yeah, the shame was on their side
But we're gonna beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and ever
What d'you say?

I GOT THE FEVER:

I'm tired of my life but my heads alright
I got the fever off a man I know
I can feel it comin' in the air tonight
And I know, I know, I know

Swear I heard a song on the radio
My heart is laughing back at me
I can see it comin' but I just don't know
If it's gon' , it's gon, it's gonna let me be

As I saw, on the breeze
I can see the sons of those who came before me
And it's got me on my knees
What you say, anyway
Will not last, it'll pass, it'll flash right there before me
And it's got me on my knees

Cos I got the fever
Yeah I got the fever
Cos I got the fever

I'm tired of my life but my heads alright

MY SISTER LOVER:

A feeling sleeping deep inside
You hide it so I'll never find
Today I think I'll waste my time
You never notice, you are blind

The dream I have can never be
To photograph what the eye can't see
I fight to live another day
I live to find out, come what may

Faith in the lord is something I can never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
Cause the lord I know don't got not faith in me

Your my lover, Your my lover
Your my lover, Your my lover

She gives me light when the sun goes down
She gives me strength when I don't drown
She gives me hope and destiny
She gives me air that I can breathe

Faith in the lord is something I can never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
Cause the lord I know don't got not faith in me

Your my lover, I'm your brother
Your my lover, I'm your brother

Faith in the lord is something I can never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
Cause the lord I know don't got not faith in me

Your my lover, I'm your brother
Your my lover, I'm your brother

THE FAME:

Breaks like glass
But not in your hand
They'll shoot you down
Right where you stand
And it don't care for what you wear
Or which way you might sway
It calls you up
But not on the phone
And they will drag you from your throne

And you may laugh while you sit there
Sipping your champagne
And they all laugh at your despair
Sniffing your cocaine
I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce
And I'm howling at the moon
Is my happening to deafening
For you?
For you?

It's maybe The Fame
It's walked out on your name
It's sees you crying
Never did explain
Am I the name
Blowing through you
Like a hurricane

It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame

It will not fall
Not from the sky
And it don't eat no humble pie
And you may have your quiet life
But I bet you don't know why
It makes you a mess
You didn't believe
You still don't know what makes me breathe

And you may laugh while sitting there
Sipping your champagne
And they all laugh at your despair
Sniffing your cocaine
I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce
And I'm howling at the moon
Is this happening to deafening
For you?
For you?

It's maybe The Fame
It's walked out on your name
It's sees you crying
Never did explain
Am I the name
Blowing through you
Like a hurricane

It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame

It's maybe The Fame
It's walked out on your name
It's sees you crying
Never did explain
Am I the name
Blowing through you
Like a hurricane

And I've walked out on your name
It sees you cry
Up from the sky
You never did explain
Why I'm still
Blowing through you
Like a hurricane

FLASHBAX:

I spend my time sittin' on the fence with a mate of mine
I'm tryin to write the line of a story

We belive that everything said is a waste of time
Cos life is well tried and it bores me
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

In my well paid opinion
These things they really don't matter
But from my crystal gazing eye
There shines a light, like dynamite

Sittin' on a throne will give a bad back to you
Livin' on my own was like a Flashback
To the days when I was lost and lonely
Saying what I said was just a different story
All your lies well they still bore me
There's nothin' wrong with my world
And these things they really don't matter now

I spend my time sittin' on the fence with a mate of mine
I'm tryin to write the line of a story

We believe that everything said is a waste of time
Cos life is well tried and it bores me
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

In my well paid opinion
These things they really don't matter
'Cos from my crystal gazin' eye
There shines a light, like dynamite

Sittin' on a throne will give a bad back to you
Livin' on my own was like a Flashback
To the days when I was lost and lonely
Saying what I said was just a different story
All those lies man, they still bore me
There's nothin wrong with my world
And these things they really don't matter
These things they really don't matter now

Sittin' on a throne will give a bad back to you
Livin' on my own was like a Flashback
To the days when I was lost and lonely
Saying what I said was just a different story
All your lies man, they still bore me There's nothin wrong in my world
And these things they really don't matter
These things they really don't matter now

Don't matter now
Don't matter now
Don't matter now
Don't matter now
Don't matter now
Don't matter now
Don't matter now
Don't matter now

STREET FIGHTING MAN:

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching feet, boy
Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy
But what can a poor boy do
'cept to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
No!

Hey! Think the time is right for a palace revolution
But where I live the game to play is compromise solution
Well, what can a poor boy do
'cept to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
No!
No!
No!

Hey! Said my name is called disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants
Well, what can a poor boy do
'cept to sing in a rock 'n' roll band
Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
No!
No!
No!

LETS ALL MAKE BELIEVE:

Is anyone here prepared to say
Just what they mean or is it too late?

Just what is takes to get through to you

So let's all make believe
That we're still friends and we like each other

To the people who live the earth, the life In a place I'll never be 'til I'm crucified

So let's all make believe
We're still friends and we like each other

AS LONG AS THEY'VE GOT CIGARETTES IN HELL:

Spend you days just walking and shopping
Depending on how much you're luck is in
Spend the night-life table-hopping
And trying to keep that bag of bones in trim

I don't mind not being immortal
'Cos it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell

And by the time we start getting used to it
The dope that's forming on the windowsill
Now we know we've got ourselves into
The cage that keeps the mice on the treadmill

I don't mind not being immortal
'Cos it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell

I don't mind not being immortal
Because it ain't all that as far as I can tell
I don't mind not going to heaven
As long as they've got cigarettes
As long as they've got cigarettes in hell

ONE WAY ROAD:

I wanna get high, but I never could take the pain
'Cos it would blow away my soul like a hurricane
Like a one man band clapping in the pouring rain
If I know where I'm going, I don't know from where I came

Where we gonna be in summertime?
And are we gonna see the heavens shine
Like diamonds in the sky?

As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road

As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road

I wanna get high, but I really can't take the pain
'Cos it will blow away my soul like a hurricane
I'm like a one man band clapping in the pouring rain
If I know where I'm going, I don't know from where I came

Where we gonna be in summertime?
And are we gonna see the heavens shine
Like diamonds in the sky?

As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road

As soon as they come
The feelings they go
All alone, on a one way road

HELTER SKELTER:

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter.

Do you, don't you want me to make you?
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Look out
Helter skelter
helter skelter
Helter skelter

Look out, cause here she comes.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of my slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Helter skelter
Helter skelter

Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter

You're coming down fast
Yeah, you're coming down fast
You're coming down fast
You're coming down fast

You're coming down fast

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

CARRY US ALL:

I heard a whisper on my radio
But I paid no mind
I just sat back and I let it go
To catch the rain from a lonely waterfall
But I might beware
'Cos they could drown me like a doll

They got me running in and out of time
I feel like a Bona Fide
Keeper of the right and wrong
And I've known all along, but let me just make it clear

Everybody's gone for quick, sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in a ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all

I slip my skin as the prophets reappear
But I pay no mind
I'm just trying to persevere
With the sins I have to shake from me within
Though I might beware
'Cos they're just trying to wear me thin

They got me running in and out of time
I feel like a Bona Fide
Keeper of the right and wrong
And I've known all along, but let me just make it clear

Everybody's gone for quick, sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in a ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all

Everybody's gone for quick, sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in a ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all
Carry us all

FULL ON:

I hear my heart beatin faster
I feel it in my bones
I want it now 'cos I have ta
But why, no-one knows
I'm like the angel on the a train
I'm like the angel of the A train
My eyes are diamond white
From the cradle till your insane
For life you have to fight
But no-one knows why there's a spirit in the sky, there's escape for no-one
He will understand, while I take him by the hand, that life's time tunnel is long
Well it will be alright
If you stay tonight
It's where we both belong
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on

JUST GETTING OLDER:

It's 9 o'clock
I'm getting tired
I'm sick of all my records
and the clothes I bought today.

Am I cracking up
or just getting older?

I'm staying in
I can't be bothered
making conversation with the friends
that I don't know.

Am I cracking up
or just getting older?

And I bet that this is how life
turns out when you're finally grown.
And you know if this is my life
I'll sit around all day and I'll moan

I'm half way up to the bottom
of another bottle of my next best favourite friend.

I'm not cracking up
I'm just getting older

No I'm not cracking up
I'm just getting older

No I'm not cracking up
I'm just getting older

IDLER'S DREAM:

My heart it skips a beat when I behold
The light that's shining through
your eyes of gold

From heavenly blood you seem to spring
from heavenly waters you can drink

I'll meet you on a day that never ends
I'll greet you in a way that heaven meant

You lay me down gently on the leaves
you cover me over in my sleep

I never did say and I wish I could
I never could pray 'cos it's just no good
I hope you don't break up my heart of stone
I don't wanna scream out loud
and wake up on my own.

And as I close my eyes
and the sky turns red
I realise just what you are:
You're an idler's dream
and your singing Shang-ri-la

Shang-ri-la

Shang-ri-la

THANKYOU FOR THE GOOD TIMES:

Who'll rise?
It would be so nice to hear you say
"Thank you for the good times"
Before the good times fly away
Your eyes
Are telling lines
from some of the stories on the way
It's so nice
But don't let the good times fly away

I drink to every sucker standing here
among the few who try and cheat the years
There's always one of us who's blown away
Or strapped and stopped for breath along the way

Who'll rise?
It would be so nice to hear you say
"Thank you for the good times"
Before the good times fly away

I drink to every sucker standing here
among the few who try and cheat the years
There's always one of us who's blown away
Or stopped and strapped for cash along the way

Who'll rise?
It would be so nice to hear you say
"Thank you for the good times"
Before the good times fly away

Thank you for the good times
Before the good times fly... away

SHOUT IT OUT LOUD:

I hope we have found our sweet release
I hope I fill that hole in your soul
I hope that at last we get some peace
I hope the light shines on we as one

There'll never be enough to learn
the river's deep and the road is long
and every which way we turn
always seems insane
but it makes me feel alive

Shout it out loud
when I'm alive
I Shout it out loud
when I'm alive
I Shout it out loud
when I'm alive
I Shout it out loud

As we wish the world away
D'you think it's all a dream
cos that's what it seems

Every night we hope and pray
that we can do enough
to keep our love

MY GENERATION:

Well, people try to put us down
Talkin' bout my generation
Just because we get around
Talkin' bout my generation
The things they do look awful cold
Talkin' bout my generation
I hope I die before I get old
Talkin' bout my generation

My generation

Why don't you all just fade away?
Talkin' bout my generation
And don't try to dig what we all say
Talkin' bout my generation
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation
Talkin' bout my generation
I'm just talkin' bout my generation
Talkin' bout my generation

My generation.

Why don't you all just fade away?
Talkin' bout my generation
And don't try to dig what we all say
Talkin' bout my generation
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation
Talkin' bout my generation
I'm just talkin' bout my generation
Talkin' bout my generation

My generation
Talkin' bout my generation

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

YOU'VE GOT THE HEART OF A STAR:

You're never gonna get along

Hanging on, thinking out loud,

You're never gonna get along, and be some one

Stuck in that crowd,

So you call out the feelings

You hope that don't ever exist,

And don't be, afraid of,

You're bones and your blisters

So come on, come on my brothers and sisters-

'Cos you can only be what you are-

You've got the heart of a star,

But the light never hits you.

 

BONUS TRACKS:

SAD SONG:

Sing a sad song
In a lonely place
Try to put a word in for me
It's been so long
Since I found this place
You better put in two or three
We as people, are just walking 'round
Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground
What we don't see
Well it can't be real
What we don't touch we cannot feel

Where we're living in this town
The sun is coming up and it's going down
But it's all just the same at the end of the day
And we cheat and we lie
Nobody says it's wrong
So we don't ask why
Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day
We're throwing it all away
We're throwing it all away
We're throwing it all away at the end of the day

If you need it
Something I can give
I know I'd help you if I can
If your honest and you say that you did
You know that I would give you my hand
Or a sad song
In a lonely place
I'll try to put a word in for you
Need a shoulder? well if that's the case
You know there's nothing I wouldn't do

Where we're living in this town
The sun is coming up and it's going down
But it's all just the same at the end of the day
When we cheat and we lie
Nobody says it's wrong
So we don't ask why
Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day

Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Don't throw it all away
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away

Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
You're throwing it all away at the end of the day

 

BONEHEAD'S BANK HOLIDAY:

You know I need a little break
To get away for a holiday
So I can see the sun
Cos in the sun they say it's fun
If you can get some
Well I could take a train or a boat or an aeroplane
Or I could steal a car
Cos in a car you can go far
Just depends on what kind of car you are

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
What kind of car you are
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I met a funny looking girl
On a crowded beach in Spain
Her name was Avaline
She said she came to Spain to have a good time
But she was with her mum
Who had a face like a nun in pain
She said her name was Dot
She didn't half talk a lot
I couldn't tell if she was mad or not

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Don't you know - I should have stayed in England
On my polluted beach - with all my special friends
Don't you know - I should have stayed in England
With my big house and my big car
And all my friend are there at the barÊ

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

You know I need a little break
To get away for a holiday
So I can see the sun
Cos in the sun they say it's fun
If you can get some
Well I could take a train or a boat or an aeroplane
Or I could steal a car
Cos in a car you can go far
It just depends on what kind of car you are

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
What kind of car you are
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
