Be Here Now Lyrics
Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touchdown base living on the run
Make no sweat of 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 capital 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 of yourself inside
So wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touchdown base living on the run
Make no sweat of 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 of yourself inside
Inside
Get a grip of yourself
Inside
Get a grip of yourself
You betcha
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 capital city
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 of yourself inside
Get a grip inside x5
C'mon x7
Yeah yeah yeah x4
C'mon x7
Yeah yeah yeah
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touchdown base living on the run
Make no sweat of the hole that you're digging
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city in the sun
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from Let It Be
Open up your eyes
Get a grip of yourself inside
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touchdown base living on the run
Make no sweat of the hole that you're digging
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from Let It Be
Open up your eyes
Get a grip of yourself inside
Get a grip of yourself
Inside
Get a grip of yourself
You betcha
Please sit down you make me feel giddy
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from Let It Be
Open up your eyes
Get a grip of yourself inside
Yeah yeah yeah x4
C'mon x7
Yeah yeah yeah

This song is cool. I don't think it means much, just sort of a "let's party" song. There are a lot of inside jokes and references in the lyrics. Digsy's Diner is the name of a song on Definitely Maybe, and looking at the songmeanings.net comments for that song, Digsy is just some friend of one of theirs who is picky about what he eats and apparently tells bad jokes? Some guy that one of the Gallaghers likes to pick on a lot apparently. So their idea of bliss is a magic carpet ride playing Beatles songs, well we knew they worshipped the Beatles anyway...
As for the album Be Here Now, I see a lot of people on the net commenting at length that it is an underrated album, but few people spending a lot of time saying how it's a lousy album. It's an okay album pretty much, some of the songs are just too long and have way too much guitar mixing and murkiness in them, but it's got some good stuff in it too. "Don't Go Away" is the obvious standout, "Be Here Now" and "The Girl in the Dirty Shirt" are good, "All Around the World" is good but goes on for just too long and overstays its welcome. I can't quite get to like the first 5 songs on the album no matter how hard I've tried, they're just murky and crap, sorry guys. But after having listened to it for 3 weeks, borrowed from a library, I might buy it just to complete my collection from the first 2 albums that I got which are excellent.
Oh - people must have notice that they borrowed some elements from other Oasis songs on this song. There's the "ow ow, yeah yeah yeah!" stuff near the end of this song, which is from "Columbia," and the weird water gushing thing which was on "Champagne Supernova." I have the feeling that there is some weird inside joke in this song that we don't know about.
i agree with guitarjeezus be here now was a very underated album, fair enough its not as good as definately maybe or (whats the story) mornin glory? but its better than heathen chemistry and standing on the shoulders of giants
this song means rock and roll - simple as that
i believe 'be here now' is a quote from john lennon to describe the meaning of rock and roll. This song is just about livin it up, havin a good time and not worrying too much about the past or the future - just living for the moment
rock and fuckin roll
what a happi sounding song ^v^
from the Album Be Here Now (i'am bored)
Nonsense. There are tons of great songs on Be Here Now. "The Girl In The Dirty Shirt," "Fade In-Out," "It's Gettin' Better (Man)," "Magic Pie," "I Hope, I Think, I Know," and "D'you Know What I Mean?" All quality songs.
Heathen chemistry, to me, suk the most cuz they tried to make it sound like the first two albums n failed badly. At least, for Standing on the shoulders of giants, they tried something new.
Definitly Maybe > Whats the story > The Masterplan > Be here now
The Masterplan's really good
PARTS of the masterplan are good... the swamp song and I am the walrus? need I say more?
I love Be here now, its my favourite album of all. I know I'll get shot for that, but still...
All around the world? The girl in the dirty shirt? Basically all but all around the world (reprise) are fantastic songs on there!
Love this song! - Highlight of the album - sounds like a train!!!
