To me, it has to be the Go Let It Out chorus. So good, I wish he wrote it himself and was gutted when I found out he didn’t.
Is it any wonder why princes and kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings?
'Cause ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the keepers of their destiny.
Nice bit of theft right there, Noel!

Proper thievery, this lol The chorus lines are adapted from a poem by R.L. Sharpe entitled “Bag of Tools,” which reads as follows: Isn’t it strange how princes and kings, and clowns that caper in sawdust rings, and common people, like you and me, are builders for eternity? Each is given a list of rules; a shapeless mass; a bag of tools. And each must fashion, ere life is flown, A stumbling block, or a Stepping-Stone. The point of the poem is that each of us are given talents and skills and the sum of each person’s abilities are unique to that person. We are free to use our tools as we please. Some aren’t able to accomplish anything and only build stumbling blocks for themselves, while others are builders of eternity and use their abilities as stepping stones to a bright future. www.google.com/amp/s/genius.com/amp/Oasis-go-let-it-out-lyrics |

Wow, never knew that.
Go Let It Out really is such an underappreciated banger. Easily in my top 10 Oasis songs.

"Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly" nicked from Alexander Pope's "Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot".

Tbh, can't think of too many wholesale stolen lyrics by Noel further than the ones already mentioned. Go Let It Out was the first one that came to mind, the wheel breaking the butterfly one seems more like a (rarely used) saying rather than a direct steal (Chris Martin used it, and he doesn't seem like a guy who'd steal anything, even from Woolies' Pick + Mix). Bit of an effort just to think of lyrics Noel's stolen, never mind rate them  Oh yeah, there's the She's Electric one. Frank Skinner interview from ages ago from that You & Me kids show or something. That exists I think. |

"I've been trying to fix a hole in my head where the rain gets in." What? It's a variation of a Beatles lyric. |

Underneath The Sky.
‘When you go in those bookshops at airports they have these little books, like “The Tiny Book Of Wisdom”, and there was a book of travellers’ quotes, and most of the lines [in Underneath the Sky] are adapted, that’s adapted, from one of them. Not stolen! Poems by travellers, by people who travelled the world. And as we were travelling around the world at the time…” (Noel, quoted in NME)

Guess that explains it lol. |

"Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly" nicked from Alexander Pope's "Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot". I'd be more willing to wager that Noel first heard of it as a result of a famous article from 1st July 1967 regarding Mick Jagger's possession conviction, given his love of all things 1960's and rock n' roll.  |

Roll With It/The Girl In the Dirty Shirt So pleased with the first one was Noel G. that he plagiarised himself on the follow up album  I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside/You got a feeling lost inside |

Some of those lyrics aren't too bad. I think I'll use some of them.' Then he paused to think. 'How top would that be? I've ripped everybody else off. Now I'm ripping myself off.' |
