[Verse 1]
It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I want to be
I don't believe in everything I see
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree?

[Bridge 1]
Take me away
Because I just don't want to stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

[Chorus 1]
All around the world
You've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
We're gonna make a better day
All around the world
You've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
You know it's gonna be okay

[Verse 2]
What you going to do when the walls come falling down?
You never move
You never make a sound
And where you gonna swim with the riches that you found?
If you're lost at sea
Well, I hope that you've drowned

[Bridge 1]
Take me away
Because I just don't want to stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days
But they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

[Chorus 1]
All around the world
You've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
We're gonna make a better day
All around the world
You've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
You know it's gonna be o.k

All around the world
You've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
We're gonna make a better day
'Cause all around the world
You've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
You know it's gonna be o.k
'Cause all around the world
You've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
We're gonna make a better day
And all around the world
You've got to spread the word
Tell them what you heard
You know it's gonna be okay

[Bridge 2]

Oasis

One of the most decorated artists of the 1990s, for the best part of two decades Oasis were an instantly recognisable part of British culture and a key cog in the all-conquering machine that was the Cool Britannia movement.

The group rose to fame with the release of Definitely Maybe in 1994, which became an instant success, debuting at number one in the UK charts. They went on to have a much-publicised rivalry with Blur, and despite losing the biggest singles chart battle in British history, they would go on to win the war, becoming global stars with (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, which includes arguably their biggest hit, “Wonderwall.”

The band released their third album Be Here Now in 1997, amid conflict between the Gallagher brothers. Although it went to number two in the US charts, sales were below expectations and it has since been regarded poorly. Fourth album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, released in 2000, was also received apprehensively by critics but managed to reach number one in the UK charts. It was during its recording that two members, guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs and bassist Paul ‘Guigsy’ McGuigan, quit so Colin ‘Gem’ Archer and Andy Bell were brought on to replace them, respectively. Heathen Chemistry was released in 2002 to similar success, and the band continued touring. In 2004, drummer Alan White left and Zac Starkey joined for sixth album Don’t Believe the Truth, released in 2005, but only lasted until the next album Dig Out Your Soul (2008), when he was unofficially replaced by Chris Sharrock.
