Okay so we all know the obvious references to beatles songs...
"..Walkin round this town to my favorite tune, tomorrow never knows...."
But I was wondering about the more 'subtle' ones anyones picked up on. I.e.
"Try to sit with me around my table but never bring a chair" - Roll it Over I think is reference to
"told me to sit anywhere, so I looked around and noticed there wasnt a chair" Norwegian Wood.
Or "Classless, clever and free" - BOADC is less subtley linked to "And you think your so classless and clever and free." Working class Hero
And the Ocean Child in Little James, appears again in Julia. A reference to the translation of Yoko Ono.
Everyones maybe noticed them already, i'm just wonderin if there are any others out there. They're just the one that sprung to mind.

BHN has ab ton of em I agree, I think that is a bit of a reach, that one. Otherwise every song lyric that involved chairs would be a Beatles reference! A couple of others: "I'd like to be under the sea" - Take Me Away (the line from Ringo's Octopus's Garden, which Noel has covered live as a coda to acoustic versions of Whatever - a disembodied voice also says the same thing atthe end of The Masterplan) "Down the long and winding road / And back home to you" - My Big Mouth In fact, the whole of BHN suffers from FAR too many bloody Beatles references. Just when the boys should have been carving out their own identities they went for even more Fab Four copying. You could also include the whole song Wonderwall, as the title is nicked from George Harrison's 'Wonderwall Music'. |

There's a lot of Lennon references in Born on a Different Cloud. There's the one everyone's pointed out with "Clever, Classless and Free" but there's these as well:
"Living on borrowed time"
"Busy working overtime" - and sung the same way as in "Happiness (Is A Warm Gun)"

"Don't let me down"-sung by liam in the b-side "won't let you down" which is obiviously from the Beatles tune "Don't let me down"! hahahaha.

Not a reference as such, but Won't Let You Down has always reminded me of Dear Prudence.

No, I think that works - the tune and the melody is completely different but the "Time that you came out and played" lyric is very similar to the lyrics in Dear Prudence. The whole of Won't Let You Down is basically a huge Lennon rip-off/homage/pastische (delete depending on how cruel or charitable you want to be  |

Everybody knows Oasis are huge fans of The Beatles, but Oasis haven´t put references to beatles only. there are references to Bob Dylan: there´s blood on the trax, in DYWIM?, and the smiths, and the rolling stones, and the small faces. And I´d say the real references to the beatles are in the music, not in the lyrics. And u are forgetting roll with it: I think I´ve got a feeling a lost inside, from I´ve got a feeling from Let it be album.

'all the roads that lead us there are winding' from Wonderwall always made me think 'The Long and Winding Road'

I think that also The Kinks have profound influence in Oasis music as well. Particularly in songwriting way for Noel they are great influence.
The Beatles are obvious influence and each of the Beatlesmen too, with particularly John Lennon to Liam Gallagher. Some of the stuff on SotSoG is quite influenced by George Harrison as "Who Feels Love" and "Roll it Over" the most obvious exemples. Actually, as someone said the whole "Be Here Now" affair is the boys on coke and listening too much Beatles.
