"Dead In The Water" lyrics by Noel Gallagher

"Dead In The Water" lyrics by Noel Gallagher

More properly known as "Dead In The Water (Live at RTÉ 2FM Studios, Dublin)" the song is the B-side to Holy Mountain, the first release from Who Built the Moon?

Holy Mountain lyrics Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Holy Mountain lyrics Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds from Who Built The Moon?

Noel's back with a cracker of a tune! It's the first song released from Noel's third studio album, Who Built the Moon.

Of note is that Paul Weller plays the organ on the track. Weller famously of course did the duel solo on Champagne Supernova back in the glory says of Oasis.

Lyrics to Holy Mountain

Dance dance, if you do that dance
I'm gonna let you join my one man band
Be my doll, be my baby doll
Come get to know me like the back of your hand
I like the name hanging out in shade
I like the way you do the push and the shove
You can blow my mind if you're that way inclined
All that I know is that you fell from above

She fell, she fell, right under my spell
Hold up pretty baby c'mon
She danced, she danced, right into my hands
Hold up pretty baby c'mon
Be my butterfly
You were almost shaking me
You rolled me at the top of them all
And if you feel the need
I'll send you Godspeed
To me you're hangin' at the break of the dawn

Get out of the doldrums baby, now
You lie, I'll set ya' on fire
Get out of the doldrums baby, now

Do your thang on the beat of the bang
I'll put a melody inside of your head
No need to shout, what you bitchin' about?
I think those things are better left unsaid
She had a look you won't find in a book
And she smiles like 1969
You could blow my mind if you're that way inclined
And I know you're gonna make it mine

She fell, she fell, right under my spell
Hold up pretty, baby c'mon
She danced, she danced, right into my hands
Hold up pretty, baby c'mon
Be my butterfly
You were almost shaking me
You rolled me at the top of them all
And if you feel the need
I'll send you God's speed
To me you're hangin' at the break of the dawn

Get out of the doldrums baby, now
You lie, I'll set ya' on fire
Get out of the doldrums baby, now

She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell

Leave My Guitar Alone lyrics by Noel Gallagher

Leave My Guitar Alone lyrics by Noel Gallagher

This song is the bonus track on the Japanese release of Chasing Yesterday.

Lyrics

"Mm-hahahahaha-ah-ha-hoo!... 2, 3, 4!"

You took off in the car with my electric guitar
And it didn't come as no surprise,
even though you got angel eyes
You won't get very far

You took all of my clothes
Hid my poems and prose
You took my favourite joke,
you didn't even leave a note?

Well that's alright... I suppose

Take what you need but just leave my guitar alone
Don't make me plead,
but don't leave me on my own

Take what you need but just leave my guitar alone
Don't make me plead,
but don't leave me on my own

You took off in the car with my electric guitar
And it didn't come as no surprise,
even though you got angel eyes
You won't get very far

And it didn't come as no surprise,
even though you got angel eyes
You won't get very far

And it didn't come as no surprise,
even though you got angel eyes
You won't get very far

"The one and only take?"
"Yep!"
"Thank you!"
"Yeah!"

Freaky Teeth lyrics Noel Gallagher

Freaky Teeth lyrics Noel Gallagher

Originally demoed for Noel's debut album, Freaky Teeth has an official version released on Chasing Yesterday. The song has been available in a bootleg form for a couple of years but the release makes it an official song.

Lyrics Freaky Teeth

Well, they knew you were coming down
On the darkness at the edge of town
And they came to steal the lightning from the sky
Yeah, the push might come to shove
And your love might not be enough
To free you from the fears that paralyse

Yet they used to love you for the way you sang your soul
Now they've come to claim you through the night
The ghosts have come to steal the light outta your eyes

It's your momma and your wife
Cuts your heart out with a knife
And they left you for the dogs to lick your bones
They made you cry the rain
But they'd love you just the same
Before your god, and the devil, touch your soul
Tell me what did you bequeath
To the girl with the freaky teeth
Well, she shown you things she'd stolen from the queen
She'll have your hearts desire
As she danced back into the fire
With the holy men who stole your tambourine

It's your momma and your wife
Cuts your heart out with a knife
And they left you for the dogs to lick your bones
They made you cry the rain
But they'd love you just the same
Before your god, and the devil, touch your soul

Before your god, and the devil, touch your soul

No word on what Noel thinks of U2's album Songs of Experience.

Revolution Song lyrics Noel Gallagher

Revolution Song lyrics Noel Gallagher

A song that Noel wrote in 1998, it now features as a digital b-side to Chasing Yesterday.

Lyrics

They took my faith

And put it in a headlock and

Sealed my fate

Somewhere inside of the world in which I live

Because I failed

They constantly ignore me and

They told me I lost my mind

When I believe that I rule the world


And I'm singing out my revolution song

Like nothing else matters

You can pitch your gold against my soul

But you're gonna get shattered

There's a million houses in my heart

It won't be long

It won't be long

Until I solve that mystery


But what for me

What do I believe in and

The masterkey

Is somewhere inside of the world in which I live

And what for they

They don't speak for no one and

I may have lost my mind

When I believe that I rule the world


And I'm singing out my revolution song

Like nothing else matters

You can pitch your gold against my soul

But you're gonna get shattered

There's a million houses in my heart

It won't be long

It won't be long

Until I solve that mystery


And I'm singing out my revolution song

Like nothing else matters

You can pitch your gold against my soul

But you're gonna get shattered

There's a million houses in my heart

It won't be long


It won't be long

Until I solve that mys...

'Til I solve that mystery

Do the Damage is also a B-Side to In the Heat of the Moment.

"Do the Damage" lyrics by Noel Gallagher

"Do the Damage" is the b-side to the single, In the Heat of the Moment from Noel Gallagher's Chasing Yesterday album.

Oasis were famed for their b-sides, songs like Talk Tonight, The Master Plan and Acquiesce were as good as any of their album tracks - thus it is no surprise that Noel's Do the Damage has proved quite the track.

Lyrics


Would anybody come and get me out of here

I waited in the rain for the calling

Would anybody come and get me out of here


Maybe the dream that we had is gone

The people 'round here are like a setting sun

They're pickin' you up

When they're knocking you down

But they can't stop me from loving you


Do you want a butterfly

The deals doesn't let it by

You do the damage kid

If love's what it's all about

It's soul I can show you now

You do the damage kid

Be my butterfly

Please don't forget about it

You do the damage kid

If love's what it's all about

It's soul I can show you now

You do the damage kid

Word on the street is that the very quotable Darth Vader finds it hard to play this song. We think it's because he refuses to take his leather gloves off. What a wally. 

Ballad Of The Mighty I lyrics by Noel Gallagher

'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.

You Know We Can’t Go Back lyrics by Noel Gallagher

You Know We Can’t Go Back lyrics by Noel Gallagher

This song is from Noel's second solo album, Chasing Yesterday.
Lyrics

Danger time will felt like I lost my way
I was stayed in silence, in silence and see this all
With my hand on my heart I could tell you if I was dreamin'
Take you to,the love on walls
I won't wake up this time

Baby I believe in magic love
Find the morning stars above
I take you from one stars on and you'll bring you down
And I love you for all time
But it's alright to know we can't go back
Said it's alright to know we can't go back
Know we can't go back

Yeah that's the time that I guess I must believe in
Done out things and we scream out loud
With my hand on my heart I could tell I just be heavy
Take me to the love and dawn cuz I won't back down this time

Said it's alright to know we can't go back
Said it's alright to know we can't go back
Said it's alright to know we can't go back

The Mexican lyrics by Noel Gallagher

The Mexican lyrics by Noel Gallagher
The Mexican is a track from Noel's second album, Chasing Yesterday.

You say that you need love
just like a kid on crack
I got a feeling that what you want
is kinda holding you back

You say you can't find your feet
under the morning sun
I got a feeling that what you are,
might just be blowing away your mind

Thought I talking about a new religion
Raining on the outside, lost in the fog
I was only dreaming of a revolution
Waiting for the right time, watching the clock

You say that you need love
just like a kid on crack
I got a feeling that what you want
is kinda holding you back

You say you can't feel the heat
behind a setting sun
I got a feeling that what you are,
might just be blowing away your mind

Thought I was talking about a new religion
Waiting on the outside, lost in the fog
I was only dreaming of a revolution
Waiting for the right time, watching the clock.

While the song remains the same lyrics by Noel Gallagher

While the song remains the same lyrics by Noel Gallagher

No one ever really accused Noel of ripping off Led Zeppelin - they were usually recriminations about the Beatles and Stones and Bowie so this is a bit of a first - the song title is a reference to the Zeppelin film, 'The Song Remains the Same'

Lyrics:

One, Two, Three, Four
Hold that not gonna let me go
We can dance believe the fly will flies on emptiness
It's a shame her memory fades to grace
We get love and get lost and we're chasing yesterday
Find me a place where the sunshine's throw the rain
Find me a pleasure in the pain
While the song's remains the same
Ready go wild, on and on
Taking me down to the town where I was born
'Cause sometime can be a stranger be miles from home
We can hide by your lonely window page
You can walk the streets mile on a mysterious way
Find me a place that sets out to the rain
Find me the pleasure in the pain
While the song remains the same
Then it go on and on and on
Hold that hard, don't let me go
We can dance believe the fly will flies on emptiness

The Right Stuff lyrics by Noel Gallagher

The Right Stuff lyrics by Noel Gallagher

The Right Stuff is from Noel's 2nd solo album, Chasing Yesterday. 

Lyrics

Out of the blue I had an angel sent
Give me your soul and I'll be on my way
You and I got the right stuff
You and I got the right stuff

Are you the sleeper or the yellow soul?
Are you the devil or the ghost?
You and I got the right stuff
You and I got the right stuff
When your heart gets shattered
And your genes get framed
And you change the morning at the end of the day

When your heart gets shattered
And your genes get framed
And you change the morning at the end of the day
You and I got the right stuff
You and I got the right stuff
You and I got the right stuff
You and I

The Dying Of The Light lyrics by Noel Gallagher

The Dying Of The Light lyrics by Noel Gallagher
This song had done the rounds as a boot leg prior to it's inclusion on Noel's Chasing Yesterday.

The chord structure is very similar to Oasis' Wonderwall which Noel of course wrote. 

Lyrics


I keep on running, but I can't get to the mountain
Behind me lie the years that I've misspent
And I've been sinking like a flower in the fountain
When all the love I'm gonna need is heaven-sent...

Gonna try my best to get there,
but I can't afford the bus fare
and the storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cry...

And I was told
that the streets were paved with gold
and there'd be no time for getting out when we were young
It's alright,
if you dance with me tonight,
we'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun.

Woke up sleeping on the train that was bound for Nowhere
Echoes that I could hear were all my own
The world had turned, and I'd become a stranger
And I'm tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone...

'Cause I try my best to get there,
but I can't afford the bus fare
and the storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cry...

And the cold against my shoulder,
when it comes on in the winter,
and it seems to last forever,
and it makes me wanna,
it makes me wanna cry

Gonna try my best to get there,
but I can't afford the bus fare
and the storm that's rolling over
Man, it makes me wanna cry...

Lock all the Doors lyrics by Noel Gallagher

Chasing Yesterday

Lock all the Doors lyrics by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Noel has said that Lock All the Doors took him some 23 years to write. He's quoted as saying: "I gave a bit of it away to the Chemical Brothers in the nineties when we did Setting Sun and I always meant to finish it off."

Setting Sun was a cracker of a song - Noel would often play it acoustically when he performed with Oasis in the Be Here Now Tour in the late 1990s.

Of Lock all the Doors, Noel also said:

"I kept the chorus but I could never find a way of getting the verse to tie in with this chorus and one afternoon I was coming out of the Tesco Metro where I live in Maida Vale and I don't know what it was it just hit me coming round the corner."

The song can be found on Gallagher's Chasing Yesterday album.

Lock all the Doors lyrics:

She wore a star-shaped tambourine
The prettiest girl I'd ever seen
Was standing lost and lonely on the shore
I tried to catch her every night
Dancing on the road in the candle light
But I can't seem to reach her anymore
Lock all the doors
Maybe they'll never find us
I can be sure like never before this time
Get down on the floor
Turn all the lights off inside
I can be sure like never before this time
You know it's mine
You know it's mine
She never hears me when I speak
I gotta find out where that magic sleeps
And I can feel you underneath my skin
Ready for takeoff, love inside
'Cause I don't wanna sail on the ocean wide
'Cause we might never live to meet again
Lock all the doors
Maybe they'll never find us
I can be sure like never before this time
Get down on the floor
Turn all the lights off inside
I can be sure like never before this time
You know it's mine
You know it's mine
Lock all the doors
Maybe they'll never find us
I can be sure like never before this time
Get down on the floor
Turn all the lights off inside
I can be sure like never before this time
You know it's mine
You know it's mine

The Girl with X Ray Eyes lyrics by Noel Gallagher

The Girl with X Ray Eyes lyrics by Noel Gallagher

Lyrics from the Chasing Yesterday album.

Noel thinks this song reminds him of a David Bowie tune and it's about women who see through men's bullshit.

Lyrics

I try to hang on to myself
Don't believe in no one else
and I'm shaking like a leaf
As I fall into the street
But the girl with x-ray eyes
She's gonna see through my disguise

I'm going nowhere down a hill
It's hard to swallow, like a pill
That was twisted on your tongue
by the seed of standing still
There was no one to be seen
No one left to hear my screams

So she took me by the hand
And followed clues left in the the sand
As she swallowed space and time
We gathered, pulled and swam
She shot me to the sun
Like a bullet from a gun
When the deed was done
In the morning she was gone

Turn the page and let it go
Like your mother told you so
Life is stretches on for miles
The truth is on your stereo

The girl with x-ray eyes
She's gonna see through your disguise

So she took me by the hand
And followed clues left in the sand
As she swallowed space and time
We gathered gathered, pulled and swam
She shot me to the sun
Like a bullet from a gun
When the deed was done
In the morning she was gone

Riverman lyrics by Noel Gallagher

Riverman lyrics by Noel Gallagher

Taken from Noel's second solo album, Chasing Yesterday.

Inspiration for the song apparently came from a night out with Morrissey and Russell Brand where Noel and Morrissey got nice and drunk.

Riverman lyrics

It's something in the way she moves to destruction
I travelled all this way to try and make amends
Cause heavy in the air are the words that she left hanging
I tried to walk away but I only stand and stare

The late night comes
All that love that was left behind
Is gone
When the river man runs
Bring me the girl who electrifies the stone
In a while she'll be gone

We are waiting in the rain
My feet turned wet from standing
I shouted out my name
Behind a rainbow's end

But somewhere in the crowd she heard me jingle janging
Like a memory that fades
She slips and waits for a game

The late night comes
All that love that was left behind
Is gone
When the river man runs
Bring me the girl who electrifies the stone
In a while she'll be gone

The late night comes
All that love that was left behind
Is gone
When the river man runs
Bring me the girl who electrifies the stone
In a while she'll be gone

The river man runs
The river man runs
The river man runs
The river man runs

In the Heat of the Moment lyrics by Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds

This is the first single from Noel's second album as the High Flying Birds, Chasing Yesterday.

It's yet another Noel penned song that manages to include the words fly and sky in a song...

The single also featured the b-side "Do The Damage".

Lyrics

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah 

They tell me you’ve touched the face of God
Like the sound of a rope cracking on your neck
They tell me you’d never give it up
Like the song that was soul singing in your head

So honey please don’t let go
Or you’ll fall into the dead of night
So honey please don’t let go
You’d better learn to fly
‘Cause they’re gonna point you up at the sky

The more that you want it
The more that you need it
I know you’ll be by my side
In the heat of the moment when the thunder and lightning come
I know that you’ll be by my side

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

That loving man ain’t no road zone
Of the sound of the drums I’m gonna set you free
I talk to him on the telephone
These are the words he gave to me

So honey please don’t let go
Or you’ll fall into the dead of night
So honey please don’t let go
You better learn to fly
‘Cause they’re gonna point you up at the sky

The more that you want it
The more that you need it
I know you’ll be by my side
In the heat of the moment when the thunder and lightning come
I know that you’ll be by my side

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

The more that you want it
The more that you need it
I know you’ll be by my side
In the heat of the moment when the thunder and lightning come
I know that you’ll be by my side

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
