Oasis, Carnation

If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle
I trample down all life in my wake
I eat it up and take the cake
I just avert my eyes to the pain
Of someone's loss helping my gain
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
With me there's no room for the future
With me there's no room with a view at all
I'm out of season all year 'round
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
Touch my heart and feel winter
Hold my hand and be doomed forever

If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle
If you're wondering by now who I am
Look no further than the mirror
Cause I am the Greed and Fear
And every ounce of Hate in you

La la la la la…

Oasis, Songbird

Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a past not far away
She's a little pirate 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
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kind 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
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

Oasis, 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

Fading 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


As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of

Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off

Little by little you have to give it all in all your life

And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here ?


True perfection has to be imperfect

I know that that sounds foolish but it's true

Day has come, now you'll have to accept

Life inside your head we give to you


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


As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of

Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off

Little by little you have to give it all in all your life

And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here ?


Little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of

Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off

Little by little you have to give it all in all your life

And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here ?

Why am I really here ?

Why am I really here ?

Oasis, 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'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 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
'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 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'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 ignoring 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

Oasis, 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
Feelings they go
All alone on a one way road

As soon as they come
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
Feelings they go
All alone on a one way road

As soon as they come
Feelings they go
All alone on a one way road

Oasis, Stand By Me

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday I've -
Gotta lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day -
Before my heart starts to burn

(Bridge)
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

(Chorus)
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
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart can never be your home

Oasis, 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

Oasis, Setting Sun

Your the devil in me I brought in from the cold
You said your body was young but your mind was very old
Your comin' on strong and I like the way
The visions we had are fading away
You're part of the life I've never had
I'll tell you now it's just too bad
I'll tell you now it's just too bad
I'll tell you now it's just too bad
I'll tell you now it's just too bad
I'll tell you now it's just too bad

Your comin' on strong
Your comin' on strong
Your comin' undone
Now your setting sun

Your the devil in me I brought in from the cold
You said your body was young but your mind was very old
Your comin' on strong and I like the way
The visions we had are fading away
You're part of the life I've never had
I'll tell you now it's just too bad
I'll tell you now it's just too bad
I'll tell you now it's just too bad
I'll tell you now it's just too bad
I'll tell you now it's just too bad

Oasis, Force Of Nature

Yeah I feel like a 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 painted 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
But 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 a 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
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
But 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 yer get on your knees and pray

Yer smoking all my stash
Yer 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

Oasis, Lyla

Calling on the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Come for me and set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I’ve waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind

Hey... Lyla
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say... Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small... Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can say... Lyla
Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall

She’s the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven help my mademoiselle
She rings the bell for all the world to hear

Hey... Lyla
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say... Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small... Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can say... Lyla
Heaven'll help you catch me if I fall...

Hey... Lyla
The stars are about to fall
So what d'you say... Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so small... Lyla
If you can't hear me call then I can say... Lyla
Heaven'll help you catch me when I fall...

Hey... Lyla
Hey... Lyla
Hey... Lyla
Hey... Lyla

Oasis, I Hope I Think I Know

They're trying hard to put me in my place

And that is why I gotta keep running

The future's mine and its 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 don't like it so why don't you admit it

D'you feel a little down today?

Bet you ain't got much to say?

You're gonna miss me when I'm not there

And you know I don't care, you know I don't care

As we beg and steal and borrow

Life is hit and miss and this

I Hope, I Think, I Know

And if I ever hear the names you call

If I stumble catch me when I fall

Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name

Oasis, Must Be The Music

Sometimes I listen to what people try to say
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way
Sometimes I listen to what people have to say
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way

It must be the music
It sounds so confusing
It must be the music
That's opening my eyes
It must be the music
It sounds so confusing
It must be the music
Making me satisfied

Sometimes I listen to what people try to say
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way
Sometimes I listen to what people have to say
And then when I tune in I think no that's not the way

It must be the music
It sounds so confusing
It must be the music
That's opening my eyes
It must be the music
It sounds so confusing
It must be the music
Making me satisfied

Oasis, 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

Oasis, 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

Oasis, Who Feels Love

Found what I 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 fantasy and fears
I feel love

Leaving all that I see
Now all my emotions fill the air I breathe
Now you understand that this is not the Promised Land
They spoke of..
There's nothing more to be
If you could be the remedy who heals love

I thank you for the sun
The one that shines on everyone
Who feels love
Now there's a million years
Between my fantasy and fears
I feel love

I thank you for the sun
The one that shines on everyone
Who feels love
Now there's a million years
Between my fantasy and fears
I feel love

Oasis, 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
My eyes is diamond white
And from the cradle till your insane
The life you have to fight
But no-one really knows why there's a spirit in the sky
There's escape so long
He will understand while I take him by the hand
Why 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
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on

Oasis, 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 !
Get down !

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 !

Oasis, 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) (4x)

Oasis, 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 it will drag you from your throne

And you may laugh while you sit there
Sipping your champagne
And may I 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 for calling 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 you sit there
Sipping your champagne
And may I laugh at your despair
While you're 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
For calling your name
It's sees you cry
You 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
For calling your name
It's sees you cry
You 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

Oasis , Rock 'n' Roll Star

Live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
Need some time in the sunshine
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
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
Cos in my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel

Tonight I'm a rock n roll star

Live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
Need some time in the sunshine
Gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

Tonight I'm a rock n roll star
