On the top of my head, some lyrics could definitely use some tweeking...
"...and everyone inside my mouth..."
"...and you can't make me spit it out..."
I like the lyrics and I have an idea what Noel's saying here, but I just feel some people will take it out of context and knock the whole song just because of those few lines.
"Build a little fire where it's cold"
I absolutely love this line, it makes the whole song IMO. But maybe to add a little diversity to it and change it up a bit, he could say "build a little fire in my soul" or "build a little fire in your soul", just something along those lines. It's not really an improvement, it just mixes things up a bit.
But other than just saying he should make it longer, what do you think Noel could improve, or has improved, from the demo?

The first line is pretty clumsy. I hope he changes it.
Second one is fine. I could take it or leave it.
Third one it probably one of my favorite lines in the song...next to "You can't give me a reason, I don't need one to shine." Building a fire where it's cold (which I always interpreted as being inside of yourself...AKA your soul) is more expressive than your proposed change IMO
I think there is a pretty good chance the lyrics have changed a bit.

I somewhat dislike the line "cause all the money I waste is in a matter of taste" line. I'd like for him to change it. I don't know why. I just don't like that line.
I'd like him to vary his word choice. Noel uses the word "shine" far too many times. I think if he changed the first line of the song into a line that didn't include the word "shine", that would be enough.
It would also be nice if he turned up the bass. The bass parts on the demo sound pretty good. And to me are the best part of the song, other than the "build a little fire where it's cold".

I certainly hope Noel doesn't change any lyrics to 'soul', as the OP suggested. We have heard enough of that word in Noel songs  |

"Build a little fire where it's cold" is quite possible one of my favorite Noel lines of all time.

Great song! Listing to it now and... Whoa!! Did anyone ever notice there's a bit of Stop the clocks in there at the end? You can hear "Stop the clocks and turn the world arouuuunnnd".
As for changes, I'd like to have the epic 10-minute Zeppelin doing Beatles version back!!!
Or maybe just more cowbell...

God dam if I never hear "middle eight" again I'll consider myself immensely blessed...or just fantastically fortunate.
Yeah I hope he adds a few really cool words here and there...it would really make the song.
dreadful fuckin thread.

I always took the fire line to be somewhat political, in the sense of third world countries. Essentially, as Noel also says in the song "Give hope to places where it can't be....." The lyrics could do with being re-worked, though. That's for sure..... |

Noel wrote this song around 2001/2002, around his Heathen Chemistry days...that explains why the lyrics are kind of poor.

It needs more cowbell in the fucking great middle eight.
Noel told me the lyrics are about South Sudan`s independence.

Don't play the same guitar solo twice. That'd improve it!

I think it's about Liam.
