Completely disagree. That "can't afford the bus fare" line is the quintessential Oasis-line that really makes the song brilliant. Especially after that strong declaration of "gonna try my best to get there," it captures how difficult it is to take that 'first step.' It's also such a clever play on the lyrics from "Whatever." It's almost like that line expresses the maturity and disappointing realization that comes with growing older, whereas Whatever was shameless bravado and idealism (that's not a knock on the song, it's still terrific).

Anyway, my point is, I love that line.
