Day's turning to night
Pray for the light

Let me come through
Let me take you
Way over the line

Everyone fallin'
Everyone fallin'
Dreamers come crawlin'
Neighbours jump wallin'

Let me come through
Let me take you
Way over the line
Over the line
Over the line
Over the line

And we're away
To be where there's life
Shake the will to comply

Fears don't try me
Tears don't cry me
And we're away
To be where there's life

When we come call out
Everything's sold out
TV just closed down
There's nothin' on the news now

Fears don't try me
Tears don't cry me
And we're away
To be where there's life
Be where there's life
Be where there's life
Be where there's life
Be where there's life

Dig out your soul
'Cause here we go
We gotta move
It's what we do

Let me come through
Let me take you
And we're away
To be where there's life
Be where there's life
Be where there's life

Take you over the light
Under the signs
In through locked doors
To secret floors
Where we've lost 'em before

Typical Oasis dirge. Nothing to commend it.

I really dug it when this song came out. I'm happy to say I still think it's a perfectly trippy hippie kinda jam that makes my cares float right out the window here in Boulder now just as it did for me then in Tokyo...

I LOVE the ez pz bass line throughout the song. Very catchy. I don't hear any Beatle rip off except harmony. And what decent band doesn't try that? Everyone influences everybody!

Probably about 3m55s too long; just at the point the vocals come in. Up to then it could be a George Harrison inspired Beatles' album track

Leaving aside Oasis' self-proclaimed comparisons & infatuation and maybe the singers' accents (I can't tell the difference between Manchester & Liverpool, but that's probably just me), you might be able to say that The Beatles might have sounded a bit like Oasis if they had formed in 1991 (and completely pissed away their talent). I always said that the band Reef sounded like The Rolling Stones if they had been up & coming in 1993 (check out "Lately Stomping").

I hear it in the droning sitar sound throughout the song.

Beatles or not, this is a middling track for me, around a 5, whereas BillG's segue to "8 days a week" is a solid 6 from me. So yeah, I hear the Beatles influence on Oasis.

What's your point? Oasis have been very open about their admiration for The Beatles and how their sound pays homage to it. Would that other bands that channel the moptops were so open...

I quibble with "ill-considered". I suspect it was well-considered, and in Bill's consideration it made sense.

There was a prior reference to Liam and/or Noel Gallagher, addressing them only as "Gallagher", which — unfortunately — made me think of that once ubiquitous prop-comic.  I don't think Oasis smashed much fruit - at least not in public..

I was a big fan of Oasis, buying Definitely Maybe the day it came out. I saw them at Earl's Court in 1995, the weekend that Wonderwall entered the charts.
