Oasis lyrics
Album: (What's The Story) Morning Glory? [1996]
| 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
'Cuz it's all too much
For me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You ought to be who you 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 things that I just can't abide
I know the roads on which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl she's not behind the door
D'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
'Cuz it's all too much
For me to take
(guitar solo)
I know the roads on which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl she's not behind the door
D'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
'Cuz it's all too much
For me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You ought to be who you be
If you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside <--- 8 times

| Wonderwall | |
|
Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
Back beat, the word is 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 are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that 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 shoulda 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 you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I 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
(Really cool but short guitar solo. You have to love it.)

| Don't Look Back in Anger | |
|
(Sounds kinda like "Imagine all the people" in the beginning. Cool.)
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you've never been (sounds like "bean" in order to rhyme w/"seen")
But all the things that you've seen
They slowly fade away
So I'll start a revolution from my bed
'Cuz you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, 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
And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's not our day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock and roll band
[And? You'll?] throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cuz you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, 'cuz summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cuz you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
(guitar solo)
So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say
(Another short and really cool guitar solo)
At least not today.

| Hey Now! | |
|
I used to ride with my soul by the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my [things? fangs? fame?] down Memory Lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I've got to say it
I'm slipping away
And what will it hold for me?
What am I gonna do?
I'm looking at you
You're standing [in awe of??] me
I thought that I heard someone say now,
"There's no time for running away now."
Hey now
Hey now
Feel no shame
'Cuz 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's 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 you 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
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
(Your standard, everyday guitar solo)
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
I used to ride with my soul by the side of the road
Just as the sky turned black
I took a walk with my [things? fangs? fame?] down Memory Lane
I never did find my way back
You know that I've got to say it
I'm slipping away
And what will it hold for me?
What am I gonna do?
I'm looking at you
You're standing [in awe of??] me
I thought that I heard someone say now,
"There's no time for running away now."
Hey now <--- 10 times
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame
'Cuz time's no chain
Feel no shame

| The Swamp Song (Version 1) | |

A short instrumental piece to end Side 1 of the tape.

| Some Might Say | |
|
Some might say
That sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man it cannot shine
Some might say
That we should never ponder on our thoughts today cause they hold sway over time
On a [box??] to take our same old sways over time
Some might say
That we will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day
Yeah-ah!
'Cuz I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
Your sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
And it was overflowing gently
But it's all elementary my friend
(cool guitar solo)
Some might say
They don't believe in heaven
Go and tell to the man who lives in hell
Some might say
You get what you've been given
If you don't get yours in one get mine as well
'Cuz some might say
We will find a brighter day
Some might say
We will find a brighter day (in a year)
Yeah-ah
'Cuz I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation
For my reputation once again
Your sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
My dog's been itching
Itching in the kitchen once again
Some might say (some might say) <-- Twice
You know what some might say (you know what some might say) <-- 8 times
Woo!

| Cast No Shadow | |
|
Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
What is in his hands (what's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
To find it if he can (to find it 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 stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
(Haaaaaaaa-ah)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (priiiii-hide) <-- 3 times
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
(Haaaaaaaa-ah)
(Haaaaaaaa-ah)
(Haaaaaaaa-ah)
Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand
What is in his hands (what's in his hands)
He walks along the open road of love and life
To find it if he can (but only 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 stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
(Haaaaaaaa-ah)
As they took his soul they stole his pride (priiiii-hide) <-- 4 times
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow (Haaaaaaa-ah) <-- 2 times
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow

| She's Electric | |
|
She's electric
She's in a family full of eccentrics
She's done things I've never expected
And I need more time
She's got a sister
And God only knows how I've missed her
And 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/mind made up now}
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what {I'm saying/what I'm saying}
But I need more
{'Cuz I'll be you and you'll be me/tiiiiii-iiime}
{There's lots and lots for us to see/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{Lots and lots for us to do/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{She is electric/ahhhhh}
{Can I be electric too?/ahhhhh}
(A real "feel good" bouncy guitar solo)
She's got a brother (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 (a cousin)
In fact she's got a dozen (a dozen)
She's got one in the oven (oven)
But it's nothing to do with me
And I want you to know
I've got my mind {made up now/mind made up now}
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what {I'm saying/what I'm saying}
But I need more
{'Cuz I'll be you and you'll be me/tiiiiii-iiime}
{There's lots and lots for us to see/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{There's lots and lots for us to do/ahhhhh-ahhhhh}
{She is electric/ahhhhh}
{Can I be electric too?/ahhhhh}
Can I be electric too? <-- 3 times
Haaa-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh!

| Morning Glory | |

(song begins with helicopter sound FX)
(radio conversation between a man and a woman mumbled in the background
but I can't understand what they're saying)
(FX and radio fade out to background music, then the lyrics begin)
All your dreams are made
When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favorite tune
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to rest your mind
You know you should so I guess you might as well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
You need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
Need a little time to wake up wake up
(guitar solo)
All your dreams are made
When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favorite tune
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to rest your mind
You know you should so I guess you might as well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
You need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
(I said) well
Need a little time to wake up wake up
(yet another guitar solo)
(back to helicopter sound FX)
(more mumbled radio conversation, then song ends)

| The Swamp Song (Version 2) | |
|
Yes, you guessed it, a second short instrumental piece.
This one makes the transition between Morning Glory and Champagne Supernova.
(no space between the three songs - one blends into the next.)
|
| Champagne Supernova | |
|
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday 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
I dream a dream she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
'Cuz we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why-why-i-i
(guitar solo)
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
'Cuz we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning around we don't know why
Why-why-why-why-i-i
(a really long guitar solo)
(background - sounds like a bunch of "No"'s)
(birds chirping)
(more guitar)
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high <-- 9 times, background "Oooh-oooh"
(Fades out 7th-9th times to just one "Oooh-oooh")
(Song gets really quiet, fades to a peaceful guitar solo.)
(You gotta love it.)
(Slow drum cadence behind a long held note with a peaceful pitch.)
(Last guitar solo behind the long note.)
(Album ends with that long note. Wow.)
