OASIS - BE HERE NOW (1997)
Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
Sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax, and they must be mine
Fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see
Look into the wall of my minds eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
Questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good looking but I'm someone's child
No-one give me the air that's mine to breathe
I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor I believe in life
No ones ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me
I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Everybody knows, but no one's saying nothing
It was a sound so very loud, that no-one can hear
I got something in my shoes, it's keeping me from walking
Down the long and winding road, back home to you
And round this town you've ceased to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame for
My big mouth and my big name
I'll grow out my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
Into my big mouth, you could fly a plane
I'll grow out my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
I ain't never spoke to God
And I ain't never been to heaven
But you assumed I knew the way
Even though the map was given
And as you look into the eyes
Of a bloody cold assassin
It's only then you realise
With who's life you have been messin'
And round this town you've ceased to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame for
My big mouth and my big name
I'll grow out my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
Into my big mouth, yeah you could fly a plane
I'll grow out my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
And round this town you've ceased to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
I guess you gonna take the blame for
My big mouth and my big name
I'll grow out my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
Into my big mouth, yeah you could fly a plane
I'll grow out my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
Slowly down the Hall of Fame
An extra-ordinary guy can never have an ordinary day
He might live the long goodbye but that is not for me to say
I dig his friends, I dig his shoes
He is just a child with nothing to lose
But his mind, his mind
They are sleeping while they dream and then they want to be adored
They who don't say what they mean will live and die by their own sword
I dig their friends, I dig their shoes
They are like a child with nothing to lose in their minds
Yeah their minds
But I'll have my way
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine
Cos you see me I got my magic pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone
There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years
Many minds to educate the people who have disappeared
D'you dig my friend, d'you dig my shoes?
I am like a child with nothing to lose but my mind
Yeah my mind
We'll have our way
In our own time
We'll have our say
'Cos my star's gonna shine
Cos you see me I got my magic pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone
You see me I got my magic pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
Think of me yeah got my magic pie
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone
Yeah yeah yeah
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
I've got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn
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
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
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
Stand by me, nobody knows yeah 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 will never be your home
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
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
Stand by me, nobody knows yeah nobody knows
The way it's gonna be, the way it's gonna be
Maybe I can see
Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
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
Stand by me, nobody knows yeah God only knows
The way it's gonna be
They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I gotta keep running
The future is mine and it's 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 me, why don't you admit it
I feel a little down today?
And I ain't got much to say?
You sure gonna miss me when I'm not there
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
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
They're trying hard to put me in my place
And that is why I gotta keep running
The future is mine and it's no disgrace
Cos in the end your life means nothing
D'you feel a little down today?
Bet you ain't got much to say?
Who's gonna miss you when you're not there
You know we don't care, you know we don't care
Cause as we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name
As we beg and steal and borrow
Life is hit and miss and this
I hope, I think, I know
If I ever hear the names you call
And if I stumble catch me when I fall
Cos baby after all, you'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name, you'll never forget my name
You'll never forget my name, you'll never forget my name
If I may be so bold could I just say something
Come and make me my day
The clouds around your soul don't gather there for nothing
I can chase them all away
Why do you need a reason for to feel happy
Or shining for the rest of the world
Give me just a smile and won't you make it snappy
Get your shit together girl
You got a feeling lost inside, it just won't let you go
Your life is sneaking up behind, it just won't let you go
No, it just won't let you go, is what I'm trying to say
Is would you maybe, come dancing with me
Cos to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something you make me believe
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
That I can see, I can see
If you ever find yourself inside a bubble
You've got to make your own way home
You can call me anytime you're seeing double
Now you know you're not alone
You got a feeling lost inside, it just won't let you go
Your life is sneaking up behind, it just won't let you go
No, it just won't let you go, is what I'm trying to say
Is would you maybe, come dancing with me
Cos to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something you make me believe
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
Maybe, she'll come dancing with me
Cos to me it doesn't matter if her hopes and dreams are shattered
When she says something she'll make me believe
In a girl who wears her dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
Now I see and now I see
Now I see, now I see
Get on the rollercoaster
The fair's in town today
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
So get on the helter skelter
Bowl into the fray
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
You fade in out, you fade in out, without a doubt
I don't see no shine, today is just a daydream
Tomorrow we'll be castaway
Coming in out of nowhere
Singin' rhapsody
You gotta be bad enough to wanna be
Sitting upside a high chair
The devils refugee is gonna be blinded by the light
That follows me
She fade in out, she fade in out, without a doubt
I don't see no shine, today is just a daydram
Tommorow she'll be castaway
We fade in out, we fade in out, without a doubt
I don't see no shine, today is just a daydram
Tommorow we'll be castaway
So get on the rollercoaster
The fair's in town today
We gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
Get on the helter skelter
Step into into the fray
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
You fade in out, you fade in out
You fade in out, you fade in out
You fade in out, you fade in out
You fade in out, you fade in out
A cold and frosty morning, there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
And I wanna be there when you're coming down
And I wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day, in the time of my life
Cos I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
About the things caught in my mind
I don't wanna be there when you're coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day, in the time of my life
Cos I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right
Me and you what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feeling's that are wrong
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day, in the time of my life
Cos I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day, in the time of my life
Cos I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right
Yes I need more time, just to make things right
Yes I need more time, just to make things right
So don't go away
Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touch down bass living on the run
I make no sweat at the hole that you're digging
Wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to Capitol City in the sun
Kicking up a storm, from the day that I was born
Sing a song for me, one from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes get a grip off yourself inside
So wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touch down bass living on the run
Make no sweat at the hole that you're digging
Kicking up a storm, from the day that I was born
Sing a song for me, one from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes get a grip off yourself inside, inside
Get a grip inside, get a grip inside
So wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Please sit down you make me feel giddy
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to Capitol City
We're been kicking up a storm, from the day that I was born
Sing a song for me, one from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside
Get a grip inside, get a grip inside
Get a grip inside, get a grip inside
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Yeah yeah yeah
It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I wanna be
I don't believe in everything I see
You know I'm blind so why d'you disagree
Take me away, cause I just don't wanna stay
And the lies you make me say are getting deeper everyday
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by
All around the world, you got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard, we're gonna make a better day
All around the world, you got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard, you know it's gonna be ok
What's you gonna do when the walls come falling down
You never move you never make a sound
So where you gonna swim with the riches that you find
If you're lost at sea well I hope that you drown
Take me away, cause I just don't wanna stay
And the lies you make me say are getting deeper everyday
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by
All around the world, you got to spread the word
Tell them what you've heard, we're gonna make a better day
And all around the world, you got to spread the word
Tell them what you've heard, you know it's gonna be ok

Please don't cry, never come down
So please don't cry, never come down
Please don't cry, never come down
Please don't cry, never come down
Please don't cry, never come down
Say something, shout it from the rooftops of your head
Make it sort of mean something make me understand or I'll forget
The people here on lifes beaches, wish upon the wave that hide the sand
Let them know that life teaches you to build a castle in your hand
Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
Oh, it's gettin' better man
Hey, what was that you said to me
Just say the word and I'd be free
And where the stars are shining bright
It's gettin' better man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And all the fire in the sky
We're gettin' better man
Build something, build a better place and call it home
Even if it means nothing you'll never ever feel that you're alone
Cause maybe the songs that we sing are wrong
Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone
Bring it on home and it won't be long
Oh, it's gettin' better man
Hey, what was that you said to me
Just say the word and I'd be free
Yeah that's the fire in the sky
It's gettin' better man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And where the stars are shining bright
It's gettin' better man
It's gettin' better man
Hey, what was that you said to me
You told me one day I'll be free
And when the fire is burning bright
I'm gettin' better man
And crashing in upon a wave
It's calling out beyond the grave
And when the stars are in the sky
We're gettin' better man, we're gettin' better man
We're gettin' better man, we're gettin' better man
We're gettin' better man, we're gettin' better man
We're gettin' better man, we're gettin' better man
