| Beady Eye – The Roller Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Having had the pleasure of Liam's company on quite a few benders I know where... ..."So you been crawling through a maze, An alcohol lemon haze,... ...comes from - one of his favourite drinks is Whiskey Sour! Hahaha Although his method of drinking them has changed since the 90s, it's still one of his favourites. |

| Oasis – Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Noel first covered this in Seattle on the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death. I have the bootleg ina box somewhere, I think it was the 7th anniversary. From what I can remember Noel says something like "this one's for Kurt Cobain who died seven (?) years ago today". At the end Liam walks back on and says something like "that was the bollocks man" Cobain used the words "it's better to burn out than to fade away" in his suicide note. It was never meant to be played again but Noel liked it so much when he heard it back that it was included in the rest of the SOTSOG tour. |

| Beady Eye – Four Letter Word Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
As an Oasis fan of 15 years it doesn't take much scratching at the surface to see this is written as a dig (or brotherly advice to Noel) "Sleepwalk away the life If that turns you on Its only a moment Look away and its gone" This reflects the fact that Liam feels that Noel has thrown away something special, it is also reflective of Liam's view that Noel has turned into a bore who (from Liams point of view) would prefer to be at home "picking his pissing toe nails" rather than living life. "Its about time That your mind took a holiday Youre all grown up Dont you ever wanna play?" Again reflective of Liams view that Noel has turned into a middle aged bore. "Youve had enough Staring out of dead end eyes Its gonna be tough The battles on and your soul is the prize" He's saying that you are worn out. The "eyes" are a shortcut to the "soul" which is lost and empty in Liams opinion. "I dont know what it is Im feeling A four letter word really gets my meaning Nothing ever lasts forever" Noel made a few jibes about Liam intellegence and his vocabulary throughout the years - this is Liams way of saying that he can say what he needs to in a four letter rant at Noel. He also refers to his relationship with Noel whan he says Nothing ever lasts forever. "Get on your feeling Going out of your mind The wheel needs to roll The clock on the wall says its time" He is saying that Noel felt that the time was up for Oasis, that he was out of his mind but that he needed to go because that's how he felt. "Call it love Call it whatever you please Its not what you want It be might just what you need" He is talking about tough brotherly love here - basically "you dont want to hear this brother but you need to and I'm gonna tell you" "Youve had enough It feels like youve blown A 50amp fuse" Noel had emough and walked out. A 50amp fuse is a big fuse. He's basically saying that he watched his brother blow a fuse and walk out on the band. "Its gonna be tough The more you have The more you can loose" Straight forward really - you have walked out on the most important band in the world and we've lost something massive. That's my take on it but I'd lay my house on ot that I'm right. There will be loads of songs that people will say are about the split but that is over analysing. To me this is the one about the split, Liam will say it here and it wont be toched on again in the songwriting. For me this is their Rock N' Roll Star only more angry. The walz chords are like RNRS. RNRS was the opener for Oasis back in the start and 4LW is the opener for Beady Eye so for me there are a few parrallels. Cracker song - looking forward to hearing it live in a few weeks time. |
