'Ballad Of The Mighty I' lyrics by Noel Gallagher

From the Chasing Yesterday album, this song features an appearance by Johnny Mar - he's of course the guitarist from The Smiths but is well known for his work after that band, and indeed he and Gallagher are great mates. 

'Ballad of the Mighty I' lyrics

Followed you down to the end of the world

Wait outside your window

Here in the rain I'll call your name

But you just passed me by

You put me up like a fly on the wall

You need a plane when the halos fall

Give me a sign if you hear me at all

You just pass me by

Colours around me are fading away

And I'll be waiting come what may

I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

If I gotta be the man that walks the earth alone

Followed the stars and sailed to the sun

And held them in my fingers

Alone on the beach

On my own out of reach

But you just passed me by

I'll give you the world if you take my hand

But you left me alone in the sinking sand

Strike up the band for one last stand

But you just passed me by

Show me the rules of the games you play

And I'll be waiting come what may and I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

If I gotta be the man that walks the earth alone I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

If I gotta be the man that walks the earth alone

Followed you down to the end of the world

Wait outside your window

Here in the rain I'll call your name

But you just passed me by

Every word I'll be on your tail

Whenever you're hiding behind your veil I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

If I gotta be the man that walks the earth I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

Yes I'll find you

If I gotta be the man that walks the earth alone

Watch the video to the The Ballad of Mighty I - It's pretty funny as it features some Oasis references which should warm long time fans' hearts.

Check out the lyrics to The Right Stuff which is also from Noel's Chasing Yesterday album.
