Our Life

it’s just a bad movie, where there’s no crying

handing the key to me in this red lion

where the lock that you locked

in the suite says there’s no prying

when the breath that you breathed

in the street screams there’s no science

when you look how you looked then to me

then i cease lying and fall into silence

Is Not A Movie

it’s just a life story, so there’s no climax

no more new territory, so pull away the imax

in the slot that you sliced

through the scene there was no shyness

in the plot that you passed

through your teeth there was no pity

no fade in: film begins on a kid in the big city

and no cut to a costly parade (that’s for him only!)

no dissolve to a sliver of grey (that’s his new lady!)

where she glows just like grain

on the flickering pane of some great movie

Or Maybe

it’s just a house burning, but it’s not haunted

it was your heart hurting, but not for long, kid

in the socket you spin from with ease there is no sticking

from the speakers your fake masterpiece is serenely dribbling

when the air around your chair fills with heat

that’s the flames licking

beneath the clock on the clean mantelpiece

it’s got a calm clicking

like a pro at his editing suite takes

two weeks stitching up some bad movie

Hide

where are we?

what the hell is going on?

the dust has only just begun to fall

crop circles in the carpet

sinking, feeling

spin me round again

and rub my eyes

this can't be happening

when busy streets a mess with people

would stop to hold their heads, heavy

hide and seek

trains and sewing machines

all those years

they were here first

And

oily marks appear on walls

where pleasure moments hung before the takeover

the sweeping insensitivity of this still life

hide and seek

trains and sewing machines (oh, you won't catch me around here)

blood and tears (hearts)

they were here first

Mmmm whacha say

Mmmm that you only meant well?

well of course you did

Mmmm whacha say

Mmmm that its all for the best?

of course it is

Mmmm whacha say?

Mmmm that it's just what we need

you decided this

Mmmm whacha say?

Mmmm what did she say?

Seek

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

speak no feeling no i don't believe you

you don't care a bit

you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)

ransom notes keep falling out your mouth

mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs

(hide and seek)

speak no feeling no i don't believe you

you don't care a bit

you don't care a (you don't care a) bit

(hide and seek)

oh no, you don't care a bit

oh no, you don't care a bit

(hide and seek)

oh no, you don't care a bit

you don't care a bit

you don't care a bit

Somersault

i see your breath hanging there

like snow clouds

across the valley

the snow falls down

onto my skin

in my heart, you'll stay

in my heart, with me

in my heart, you'll stay

in my heart, in my heart

i miss you when the

air is still

and i can hardly feel

but with one breath

you are here

Decoder Ring

Somersault

you are here

in my heart, you'll stay

you are here, with me

in my heart, you'll stay

in my heart, in my heart

out of all the breath in me

i keep yours in my heart

out of all the breath in me

i keep yours in my heart

now you will always be with me

in my heart

now you will always be with me

What's The Matter

made a meal and threw it up on sunday i've

gotta lot of things to learn

said i would and i'll be leaving one day

before my heart starts to burn

sing me something new, don't you know

the cold and wind and rain don't know

they only seem to come and go away

With You?

times are hard when things that have got no meaning

i've found a key upon the floor

the things we find behind the door

stand by me, nobody knows

yeah, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Oasis
