Liam Gallagher's rock outburst that brings up the devil, King Midas, boxing and the film of the exorcist to tell the abuses suffered after the end of Oasis
I'm going toe-to-toe, with a greedy soul He's going down tonight Gonna be out a while She got a 666 (*) I've got my crucifix She's got a spinning head (2*) Like seeing grateful dead
You're getting sold You greedy soul You've been telling lies You're slippery kind
And it's a long way down When you're the wrong way round And now it's all too much I've got the Midas touch (3*)
They're digging me for gold Well, if the truth be told You got you kiss and tell I hope you go to hell I'm going rope-a-dope (4*) You think I'm giving up I got a rhino hide Don't give a fuck, alright
(*) 666 is the number of the Devil so to say that she is a 666 is equivalent to saying that she is a devil.
(2*) Reference to the film 'The Exorcist', in which we see the head of Regan MacNeil (later Angela Rance) turning compulsively as possessed by the devil.
(3*) King Midas in Greek mythology is known for his ability to turn everything he touches into gold.
(4*) This is a boxing technique commonly associated with Muhammad Ali in the famous 1974 Rumble in the Jungle against George Foreman. In competitive situations outside of boxing, the term rope-a-dope is used to describe a strategy in which one party purposely places itself in a seemingly disadvantageous position, thereby seeking to achieve eventual victory. It is therefore mainly based on the style of play of the rival.
Liam uses this metaphor to tell the technique used by his brother Noel to come out unscathed and "clean" from the end of Oasis, placing all the blame on him (Liam) and causing him to fail.
