Half the World Away by Oasis

I found myself singing this song in my head while talking a walk today. Maybe I'll listen to the whole album like I did during college.

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
'Cause I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go, 

I'm still scratching around in 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

And when I leave this planet, 

You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit, 

I'll find me a hole and I'll leave in it
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Here I go, I'm still scratching around in 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

No I don't feel down, no I don't feel down
I don't feel down, I don't feel down
I don't feel down, I don't feel down
I don't feel down

Stay Young by Oasis

Out of the blue, probably because I just ripped the Faculty soundtrack just recently, I decided to listen to Stay Young in Youtube (cos i don't have the song in the PC and my ipod is somewhere). I checked out the acoustic version performed and sang by Noel Gallagher. I suddenly remembered how much I liked Oasis songs before. I also thought about that I should start focusing on the lyrics part of song writing again.

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

Rockin' Chair by Oasis

I was in the middle of the commute today when I suddenly had the craving to listen to this song. One of the Oasis songs I can truly relate to.

I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds 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 for me to take when you're not there

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 for me to take when you're not there

I'm older than I wish to be
This town holds 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 for me to take when you're not there

Talk Tonight by Oasis

I used to believe that Oasis was the biggest band in the world. This is during the late 90's as far as I remember. I knew the song titles, I knew the lyrics.

This song comes out of The Masterplan, a collection of Oasis B-sides...most of which were worthy enough to be released as A-sides. The song was the B-side to Some Might Say.

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
