DON'T GO AWAY
(noel gallagher)

cold and frosty morning
there's not a lot to say
about the things caught in my mind
and as the day was dawning
my plane flew away
with all the things caught in my mind

i don't wanna be there
when you're coming down
i don't wanna be there
when you hit the ground

so don't go away
say what you say
say that you'll stay
forever and a day
in the time of my life
cause i need more time
yes i need more time
just to make things right

damn my situation
and the games i had to play
with all the things caught in my mind
damn my education
i can't find the words to say
of all the things caught in my mind

i don't wanna be there
when you're coming down
i don't wanna be there
when you hit the ground

so don't go away
say what you say
say that you'll stay
forever and a day
in the time of my life
cause i need more time
yes i need more time
just to make things right

me and you what's going on
all we seem to know is how to show
the feelings that are wrong

so don't go away
say what you say
say that you'll stay
forever and a day
in the time of my life
cause i need more time
yes i need more time
just to make things right

and don't go away
say what you say
say that you'll stay
forever and a day
in the time of my life
cause i need more time
yes i need more time
just to make things right
yes i need more time
just to make things right
yes i need more time
just to make things right
so don't go away

CIGARETTES & ALCOHOL (LIVE FROM G-MEX MANCHESTER)
(noel gallagher)

is it my imagination
or have i finally found something worth living for
i was looking for some action
but all i found was cigarettes and alcohol
you could wait for a lifetime
to spend your days in the sunshine
you might as well do the white line
cause when it comes on top

you've gotta make it happen
you gotta make it happen
you gotta make it happen
you gotta make it happen

is it worth the aggravation
to find youself a job
when there's nothing worth working for
it's a crazy situation
but all i need are cigarettes and alcohol
you could wait for a lifetime
to spend your days in the sunshine
you might as well do the white line
cause when it comes on top

you've gotta make it happen
you gotta make it happen
you gotta make it happen
you gotta make it happen
you gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it
you gotta, you gotta, you gotta fake it
you gotta, you gotta, you gotta make it
you gotta, you gotta, you gotta fake it
woooo

SAD SONG
(noel gallagher)

sing a sad song
in a lonely place
and try to put a word in for me
it's been so long
since i found the space
you'd better put in two or three
we as people are just walking round
our heads are firmly fixed in the ground
what we don't see
well it can be real
what we don't touch we cannot feel
where we're living in this town
the sun is coming up and it's going down
but it's all just the same at the end of the day
and we cheat and we lie
nobody says it's wrong so we don't ask why
cause it's all just the same at the end of the day
we're throwing it all away
we're throwing it all away
we're throwing it all away
at the end of the day

if you're needing
something i can give
you know i'd help you if i can
if you're honest
and you say that you did
you know that i would give you my hand
or a sad song
in a lonely place
i'll try to put a word in for you
need a shoulder
well if that's the case
you know there's nothing i wouldn't do
where we're living in this town
the sun is coming up and it's going down
but it's all stays the same at the end of the day
and we cheat and you lie
nobody says you're wrong so you don't ask why
cause you're all stay the same at the end of the day
but don't throw it all away
don't throw it all away
don't throw it all away
don't throw it all away
yeah
throwing it all away
they're throwing it all away
they're throwing it all away
at the end of the day

FADE AWAY (WARCHILD VERSION)
(noel gallagher)

when i was young i thought i had my own key
i knew exactly what i wanted to be
now i'm sure
you boarded up every door
lived in a bubble, days were neverending
was not concerned about what life was sending fantasy was real
but now i know much about the way i feel
gonna paint you a picture
i don't think you live round here no more
never even seen the key to the door
you only get what we will settle for

while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away, away, away
they're gonna fade away, away, away
fade away

and now my life has turned another corner
i think it's only fair that i should warn you
dream it while you can
and maybe someday i'll make you understand
i'm gonna paint you a picture
i don't think you live round here no more
never even seen the key to the door
you only get what we will settle for

while we're living
the dreams we have as children they fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away
while we're living
the dreams we have as children fade away, away, away
fade away, away, away
they're gonna fade away, away, away
fade away, away, away
fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
they're gonna fade away, fade away, fade away
away, away, away, away
they're gonna fade away

know what i mean (spoken)
is that the vibe
you know it
