I Am the Walrus (The Beatles cover) Lyrics
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly, I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation t-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, weare the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
Expert textpert choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied, I'm crying
Semolina pilchards, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
G'goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, goo
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly, I'm crying
Corporation t-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the eggman, weare the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied, I'm crying
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the eggman, oh they are the eggmen, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
G'goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, goo

This is a Beatles cover. Nobody can do it better than the Beatles...
~~~Columbia~~~
though you are right saying no1 can do it like the beatles oasis can play the song well enough
I think he's saying "Does it matter if it's out of tune? Does it matter if it's out of tune? Is you all cool?"
The Beatles' version sucked, even if it was the original. Oasis just added some much-needed energy to the song.
The original is revolutionary, but i doub't you comprehend that...

the cool thing about this 12 inch 45(if you can get the origional) is that if you play it on 33 it sounds awesome. i always felt the song was too speeded up, but on 33 its a trip in itself and you can get into the guitar stuff a lot better. but beats the origional? no way--you have to watch the video from Magical Mystery Tour to see how out-there they were in those days--long live the 60s
Or maybe the Beatles didn't play this live because it was released in 1967 and they played their last tour in 1966.
When Oasis plays it it means, "Oh how I wish I had a fraction of the talent necessary to come close to John Lennon at his worst."
In short, it means what all Oasis songs mean.
The fact that they (or anybody) would cover this particular song is simply dumb. If you want to wear one of Lennon's intensely personal statements like a Halloween mask, at least pick a good one: "God," "Beautiful Boy," something like that.
As much as i love oasis/liam. John lennon sings it better
disagree Spooky Tooth nails this like no one before. give it a free listen on you tube.

"Does it matter if its outta tune? No, it doesn't matter if its outta tune, coz you're cool!" Hahahahaha
How could you miss that? I prefer the Oasis version to be honest
