Most of it is lyrically brilliant but never more so than in the lyric above. It has an angst that prevents the song from being too depressing and instead allows you to vent about your own frustrations. Unfortunately, that’s the reality for most of us. It’s all about how your dreams rarely come true and how people have to settle for something else. “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”įade Away is a depressing song in many ways.
The beauty is that Noel says he has no recollection of writing it so we’ll never truly know! Either way, it’s a beautiful lyric in one of Oasis’ most vulnerable songs. It could be a desperate response to a lover that’s leaving him, perhaps saying that he’ll go wherever they go, or perhaps it’s about death. Some lyrics are best left ambiguous, and this is a great example from Be Here Now. “If you’re leaving will you take me with you?”
It’s one of the best Oasis lyrics of all time, an epic start to a song and a working-class anthem. It’s that moment where you’re getting ready for work and dreaming that you could be anywhere else. “All your dreams are made, when you’re chained to the mirror and the razorblade.”Īnyone that has ever been in a dead-end job will know exactly what this lyric means. Morning Glory – (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? If you’ve never listened to the song, check it out.Ĩ. It’s a desperate line and one that will strike a chord with many. The one chosen is a grapple that many have had between not believing God exists but wishing a higher power could save you. This song could have easily been an album track and has more than one line of fantastic lyrics. I was hesitant to add a B-Side into this list (aside from Masterplan songs) but I couldn’t leave it out. “Strangle my hope and make me pray, to a god I’ve never seen but who I betray” Let’s All Make Believe – Go Let It Out B-Side The sheer arrogance of it matched the personality of a band who barged into the music world with that famous swagger.įor the same reason, “I need to be myself, I can’t be no-one else” from Supersonic was a contender but didn’t quite make the cut.ĩ. What makes it special for me is that it was written before they were famous. If this lyric was written on (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? then it perhaps wouldn’t make our list of best Oasis lyrics. Our only qualification is that we couldn’t pick the same song twice. That being said, this list isn’t all about him. Noel wasn’t the most gifted lyricist of all time but had the ability to produce a wonderful line every now and again. In this list, we want to take a look at what are the true 10 best lines of Oasis lyrics. Most of them just pick a random line from Oasis’ most famous songs. I’ve seen a few lists about the top 10 Oasis lyrics and they are, well, not very good.
