To Be Where There's Life Lyrics
Day's turning to night
Pray for the light
Let me come through
Let me take you away over the line
Everyone falling
Everyone falling
Dreamers come crawling
Neighbours jump walling
Let me come through
Let me take you away over the line
And we're away to be where there's life
Shake the will to comply
Fears don't try me
Tears don't cry me
And we're away to be where there's life
When we come call out
Everything's sold out
TV just closed down
There's nothing on the news now
Fears don't try me
Tears don't cry me
We're away to be where there's life
Be where there's life
Dig out your soul, cos here we go
We gotta move, it's what we do
Let me come through
Let me take you away to be where there's life
To be where there's life
Take you over the light
Under the signs
In through locked doors to secret floors
Where we've lost 'em before
Pray for the light
Let me come through
Let me take you away over the line
Everyone falling
Dreamers come crawling
Neighbours jump walling
Let me come through
Let me take you away over the line
Shake the will to comply
Fears don't try me
Tears don't cry me
When we come call out
Everything's sold out
TV just closed down
There's nothing on the news now
Tears don't cry me
We're away to be where there's life
Be where there's life
We gotta move, it's what we do
Let me come through
Let me take you away to be where there's life
To be where there's life
Under the signs
In through locked doors to secret floors
Where we've lost 'em before

Best song on the album in my opinion. very experimental oasis. Kind of always feels one beat too slow, which makes it that much better that it works. the eastern instruments throughout (and backward guitar?) make it very ominous. Its obviously one minute past midnight and the world has gone into complete darkness and everyones either shut in or going crazy. But you've got to hold on be brave and wait to be where theres light, to be where theres life. Its kind of like a little horror movie where the aliens attack at night and you've gotta stay through till the morning when they will go away/ imo.
Bigrobbo you are dead on all over the place. This IS the best song on DIG OUT. And there are several good ones (RAPTURE and SHOCK among them).
The eastern tone and the BIG themes of wandering, night and light and new places, be they geographic or states of mind remind me of Zeppelin's KASHMIR.
Cool song. A long way from Digsy's Diner. Oasis continues to rule.
my favourite off the album at the moment :) Written by Gem. It's not backwards guitar though, there is no guitar at all on the song.... it's a toy sitar for £12.99 that Noel and Gem put in a reverb room lol. It shows it in a clip from the DOYS doc on youtube (:
On the fence with this song...
The first time I listened to this song, I realized the bassline was reallllly familiar. It puzzled me for a while, because I knew I heard that line before but I couldn't remember what song I heard it from. But now I figured it out.
Jimmy Kane -- Muse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AT-p7QTc6Bs It's a b-side that was released I think in...1999? Maybe 2000.
Not saying Oasis stole that line (it's bitchin so i don't care much), but I thought it was really weird!
I love this song btw. One of my favorites off the album.
I like this song when I'm driving home at night, it's got that kinda night time tone to it, slow and deep kinda music
Love the groove to this one.
