An extra ordinary guy
Can never have an ordinary day
He might live the long goodbye
But that is not for me to say
I dig his friends, I dig his shoes
He is just a child with nothing to lose
But his mind
They are sleeping while they dream
And then they want to be adored
They who don't say what they mean
Will live and die by their own sword
I dig their friends, I dig their shoes
They are like a child with nothing to lose
In their minds. their minds
But I'll have my way
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine
Cos you see me I got my Magic Pie.
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone
There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years,
Many minds to educate the people who have disappeared
D'you dig my friends? D'you dig my shoes?
I am like a child with nothing to lose but my mind
My mind
Can never have an ordinary day
He might live the long goodbye
But that is not for me to say
I dig his friends, I dig his shoes
He is just a child with nothing to lose
But his mind
And then they want to be adored
They who don't say what they mean
Will live and die by their own sword
I dig their friends, I dig their shoes
They are like a child with nothing to lose
In their minds. their minds
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine
Think of me yeah that was me I was that passer by
I've been and now I've gone
Many minds to educate the people who have disappeared
D'you dig my friends? D'you dig my shoes?
I am like a child with nothing to lose but my mind
My mind

wow you guys are so fuckin picky. "wahh i dont like the 7 minutes i want 4 minutes wahh. i dont like the chorus, cry wahh this sounds out of place, wahhh" this isn't your song and it wasn't written specifically for you. this is art, written and performed by oasis, for themselves, how they felt, what they wanted to express, etc. respect that and respect the great song that it is. this is real, true, genuine music unlike most of the shit that gets played today. fuckheads like you are the reason Noel and Liam have insulted and said nasty things about Americans in general, because you're picky, ignorant, and full of "rubbish". as an American myself, it's people like you that make the rest of us look bad. have some respect and appreciate the great music that oasis blesses us with.
Can it. Who's ignornant and full of rubbish for generalizing about Americans just because some (apparently many) don't like their song? I like the band. This; however, is not its best song and those who don't like it have EVERY right (and obligation) to speak honestly about it. This is not a lovefest board, it's about interpreting meanings and offering opinions. Perhaps Noel and Liam should be thankful that ignorant Americans helped line their arrogant pockets. It's easy to bit the hand that feeds when you are getting fed worldwide, and you don't have enough class to shut your mouth...

It's easy to bit the hand that feeds when you are getting fed worldwide, and you don't have enough class to shut your mouth when you're angered by opinions that differ from yours. Maybe it's a good thing these guys are no longer performing together if they can't take the pressure of their jobs.
This song is incredible! It has an amazing power behind it, it just feels good to listen to. Perhaps my favourate from Be Here Now - perhaps one of my favourate Oasis tracks ever. One of the best for a massive alcohol fueled party, beer, sun and BBQ's. But that's what Oasis are all about, isn't it.
this is a great song and the lyrics have a lot of senses
Many things to do, but that already been done, obvious attitudes toward daily situations, correct elections toward unexpected proposals, have the questions and never the answers, shine and not seen.
Noel&Liam say..Magic Pie-"I sang this one and of course me and Liam had a row about it, but it's his favourite track now. The first line 'An extraordinary guy can never have an ordinary day' comes from him asking me 'How come you never get into any of the situations I get into?'. And I borrowed something from Tony Blair´s speech at the last Labour conference - 'There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years.'"
those who don't say what they mean live and die by there own swords.....simply amazing
Noel & Liam are 2 of the best moden lyricist (spelling?). They pour themselves into every song. From supersonic to their new album, it all is and will be amazing
dis song is about noel wanting to get high with the cooler kid in london whan his was a teenage he was poor and all of theam had doc martins boots i his friends i dig his shoes and he's thinking one days you will envey me so he started playing clubs got his band togother now thay want get high with him
this song would be a classic oasis song if it weren't for the dump chorus
I love this song, I dont know why but I think of a small child walking, lonely down a street. Then, he loses his sense of lonliness. I dont know, whatever it means I love it,
Drugs. Just drugs, booze and all that litany.
