"Listen Up!" the moment when Liam sings"one fine day, gonna leave you all
behind" and "I don愒 mind being on my own", you can just sense the promise of
"no regrets, I惴 just leaving" and that there愀 nothing wrong being a "loner",
there愀 similarity in "Flashbax" too, I guess.

What about Talk Tonight?
It's one of the only Oasis songs that Noel really poured his heart into
"Sittin' on my own, chewin' on a bone a thousand million miles from
home"
actually has meaning.
And
"I wanna talk tonight, bout how you saved my life"
is about the girl he was with
This is a truly great song

"Don't go away, say what you say,
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day"
- Profound if you've ever been dumped by the love of your life.
Talk Tonight ;
"I want to talk tonight, until the morning light
'Bout how you saved my life"
- Profound if you've ever just found the love of your life
Wonderwall ;
"I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me"
Whatever ;
"I'm free to say whatever I,
Whatever I like, if it's wrong or right
It's alright"
Thing is - profound is all about what you take from the lyrics. If it
reminds you of something that has happened in your life then you can take it
as profound and it means something to you.

excellent (but short) lyrics "bound with all the weight of all the words he
tried to say... chained to all the places that he never wished to stay... as
they took his soul the stole his pride"...
this opinion is influenced by something i read on another post, that your
sense of what is profound is related to what you feel or felt, and that bit
of "bound with all the weight..." i can really understand how it feels...
that reminds me of "damn my education, i can't find the words to say...",
etc, of DGA... i think noel has problems sometimes to write lyrics (music is
his best)...

Noel has written two truly great lines..
'All your dreams are made of strawberry lemonade'
and
'Where were you while we were getting high'
Quite a few of the songs have nice enough lyrics - but these are the
two lines that I really love. Noel isn't perceptive and intelligent
enough to write lyrics like Thom Yorke or Morrissey - which is good
because Oasis are supposed to a be a fun band rather than a profound
one.

I sort of agree with you there. I heard that song a lot around a
less-that-happy time, and it still brings a lump to my throat.
I guess it's profound in a simple way, though I believe it is about
his mum being ill, as oppose to being about l-o-v-e.
That chorus has a delicious hook, but (yet again) is somewhat spoilt
by overproduction.

not really. You don't have to be intelligent to write a good tune (or
to appreciate one - as many Oasis fans prove)
>I take it you meant "isn't grammatically capable", as opposed to his
IQ level.
No. I mean that I don't think Noel is very intelligent. Simple as
that.
He lacks the perception and articulation that, I believe, are
fundamental to good lyricists. His lyrics are generally simple and
obvious - a great deal of Oasis lines were only written because they
rhyme with the precceding lines.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at him for it - the simplicity
of Oasis is a great attraction for me - but Noel's lyrics don't make
me see the world in a different light in the way that Thom Yorkes
might.

I heard that the line "Where were you while we were getting high" was
actually a dig at the truly great Stone Roses, ie while the Roses were
away mucking about for 5 years making a second (very ordinary) album
Oasis were becoming massive.
Don't know if it's true but it sort of makes some sense.

Sorry, but Thom Yorke's lyrics just depress me. They've never done
anything that compares to "Creep" anyway. Now there was a song that was
profound; "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo" and "You're so f*^!*# ' special".
Truly great lines it has to be said. OK Computer isn't exactly uplifting
stuff is it? I mean I've liked Radiohead ever since I saw them when they
supported the Frank and Walters back in '92 but their lyrics just depress
me now. Give me Oasis, Charlatans, Seahorses, or Prodigy any day.
-BEN
>No. I mean that I don't think Noel is very intelligent. Simple as

Well I agree with many of your opinions (such as BHN being *way*
overdone), but I've met Noel & talked to him reasonably extensively, &
believe me, he *is* on a very high level (intelligence wise). But even
if I have met him, I guess it's still down to opinion. If you look at
all the great songwriters, they are all very intelligent people (or *at
least* more intelligent than average). John & Paul aren't exactly
stupid, & I don't think it's any fluke that they are much better
songwriters than their less intelligent (ok, no evidence to back this
up, but it seems obvious to me) band mates.

I met him at his hotel here (Perth, Australia), it was really cool too,
coz it was the day after Liam told the world he wanted to stab the pilot
up the arse with a pick-axe, so the media was all over the hotel (they
couldn't come inside though, only aloud out the front door), so the fans
had the run of it inside. :) Anyway later on in the day, (after he'd
been out that arvo seeing the Eagles [Aus football] in a preseason game)
I was talking to him about it, & saw him the next day too (hey, I was a
'stalker' for 2 days, sue me :). Anyway Noel is a top guy, bit Liam is
a LEGEND. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, he's a totally cool guy.
He's truly inspirational. It'd be so much better for people
(*especially* the fans) if he'd show it a bit more to the media.

weird anyway. And, to a certain degree, songs like Karma Police and
Electioneering don't really mean a whole lot....do they? I've found
greater meaning in many Oasis songs than I have in Radiohead songs, it's
just a matter of opinion. Oasis are by far the better band, Liam is a
better frontman than Thom Yorke, and Oasis gigs seem to be a bit more
lively than Radiohead ones.
See Ya,

Who cares about uplifting lyric, Liam doesn't write the lyrics anyway, so how
can he put his soul into them? At least Thom writes and isn't a fucking dick.

Hmm, but no matter how massive Oasis are/will be, they will never get
within a million miles of 'Fools Gold'. For all Noel's melodic
brilliance, he'll always be an inch short of 'Waterfall', and no Oasis
anthem will uplift an indie club like 'I Am the Resurrection'.
Even 'Ten Story Love Song', 'Beggin You' and 'Love Spreads' (all of
which sit nicely on the 'ordinary' Second Coming) are as good as any
Oasis track.
I love Oasis - but respect is due.

that's got nothing to do with the quality of the lyrics. if they
depress you then they must be affecting you in some way. i find that
most oasis lyrics just pass me by, they're great at the time but fade
away when the song ends.

i't great that so many people cite 'creep' as being so great and
profound. the fact is that the song is 100% irony - it mercilessly
rips the proverbial piss from all the people who claim to 'identify'
with it. it's all rather funny.

I was comparing the lyrics, as oppose to the bands/music. You can't
compare the bands or the frontmen because they are totally different.
I prefer Radiohead because I like my music to me more involving - but
there are many times when only Oasis will fit my mood.
>and Oasis gigs seem to be a bit more lively than Radiohead ones.
That's because Radiohead gigs are highly emotional, near religious,
musical adventures - whilst Oasis gigs are fields full of drunken
teenagers and people who still can't admit that Country House is
better than Roll With It.

Don't be a dick all your life. Wake up and smell the coffee. Roll With
It is a great Rock 'n' Roll song whereas Country House is a good 'Pop'
song. Radiohead gigs are not up-tempo enough...the Oasis gig on the last
night of the Be Here Now tour was one never to be forgotten. 20 minute
All Around The World and a 20 minute Champagne Supernova. Top!!

four star bollocks.
they are both good pop songs and you know it. do you think that
cranking up the guitars makes oasis rock? roll with it is pure pop
adrenaline (and that's why i like it). it's 100% style over 0%
content. country house is just as poppy, and just as tuneful - but
with slightly (and i mean slightly) better lyrics.

that's fine if you like that sort of thing - personally i'd rather
have my emotions pulverised by 'street spirit' than be bored to tears
by two decent songs each going on for about 15 minutes too long. we
like different kinds of gigs, which is fine. you go your way, i'll go
my way, and somewhere we will meet.
i trust i can rely on your vote
