Inspired by this: live4ever.proboards.com/post/1121715/threadI want a piece of the world and everyone inside my mouth
I want a piece of the world and I can take it there's no doubt Slowly walking down the hall faster than a cannonball
Filling up your tired head, all the things you never said Songs like Some Might Say aren't even worth doing cos there's just so many lines to choose from.

It's a stupid line that makes no sense. Walking slowly yet somehow faster than a cannonball? And why down a hall? Let's not pretend that the song would be worse off with a better, coherent line in it's place.

Champagne Supernova would be a great song even if the lyrics were written by One Direction

Let's not pretend that the song would be worse off with a better, coherent line in it's place. doesn't have to make sense it conjures up a mental image and makes you think. maybe makes you think what were these guys on lol, still I'd rather have the 'weird' lyrics that put images in your mind than cliches. granted Oasis has both kinds of lyrics. and I'll freely admit there are plenty of lines I don't question from Noel that I would berate other bands for, Im a fan it's my right to be a hypocrite

I think this one ruins the context and comedy of the song. The blister on the palm of her hand is specific.

Might as well change the lyrics to "and I need more bananas" then, to keep up the context and comedy of the song.

I was thinking today that fade-in/out could be fading out. But the live version is awesome no matter what.

Haha. Dunno if it was gramatically correct, but the meaning would make more sense(at least in my language) than sitting by the fire.

Lol, some people are so precious. A lot of his lyrics are objectively bad.

Yes some are bad, but they got away with them anyway, some are not the best, or quite weird, but suit perfectly the feeling of the song they're in (like Champagne Supernova, She's Electric, Digsy's Dinner etc.), some are pretty good, but some of you are trying to change them just to seem clever tbh, then there are some great lyrics that luckily haven't made their way into this discussion yet

I don't mind most of them. It's only "sitting by the fire" in ICSAL and "probably need a phone" in TMA that really bothers me.
