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.
