Hello Lyrics

I don't feel as if I know you
You take up all my time
The days are long and the night will throw you away
Coz the sun don't shine
Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And it's never gonna be the same
Cos the years are following by like the rain
And it's never gonna be the same
'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
Hello

There ain't no sense in feeling lonely
They got no faith in you
But I've got a feeling you still owe me
So wipe the shit from your shoes
Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And it's never gonna be the same
Cos the years are following by like the rain
And it's never gonna be the same
'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
Hello

Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
It's good to be back

the lines "we had the chance and threw it away And it's never gonna be the same " make me think of a relationship that ended,or failed attempts at ones.

"And it's never gonna be the same 'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says Hello Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! It's good to be back "

makes me think that the person is done with the moping around b/c of the rejection and just wants to be happy again, hence the whole "the life i knew",like their previous life before the shit hit the fan. they realize life is way to short to sit around and dwell and you just gotta move on and it's worth it, b/c "it's good to be back"

i just love this song. it makes me just want to say FUCK YOU to anyone who put me down. just the ending is awesome "hello....it's good to be back"

Yeah so I actually just picked up the CD "What's the Story Morning Glory" a couple of weeks ago. It's delicious. When I first heard this, I was sort of falling asleep, it was late at night, and at first, I thought it was Wonderwall. When the wavy guitar came in, it scared the shit out of me. Good song though.

He's talking to himself:

"I dont feel as if I know you, you'll take up all my time"

  • He's seeing himself, and he's bored and not impressed.

"The days are long and the night will throw you away Coz the sun don't shine" -Nights are long and dreary, cause no sun in the day time to cheer you up

"Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play "

  • You are not in control of everything, life is unpredictable and can change how you see things. If life is unpredictable and meaningless, then just play along.

"We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away"

  • We're not living up to our potential, we had the chance but blew it.

"And it's never gonna be the same Cos the years are following by like the rain And it's never gonna be the same 'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says Hello "

  • Thinking about the years passing and the time he 'had it', but eventually the old life will come back and say 'hello'

"There ain't no sense in feeling lonely They got no faith in you But I've got a feeling you still owe me So wipe the shit from your shoes"

-forget your 'friends', but you got an obligation to your self, so clean your shoes and get your act together, and embrace your old vitality and spirit when it comes knocking on your door and says HELLO!

I totally agree with Seimiko. And here I am, reviewing. (yay!) Although this song seems sort of pop-driven and meaningless it holds some of the BEST LYRICS ever.

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away And it's never gonna be the same Cos the years are following by like the rain And it's never gonna be the same

Whenever i think about how life is moving to fast, and how you never have enough time and that years just go by before you even have time to look around and take in what you see (wow, that was a looooong sentence!) I think of this song. And that's exactly what Noel Gallaghar had in mind when he was writing this song.

Heard somewhere Noel changed Gary Glitter's version as to not be associated with him? Seems stupid? Can anyone confirm this?

Quality that like, agree with "a contradiction", makes me want to say a big fuck off to me ex-girl friend. Its as if youve been really let down/pissed off with your ex and they know theyve pissed you off and upset you, well now your back and your gonna raise a little hell. "Hello Hello Say its good to be back good to be back!"
