[Verse 1]
Won't you take me
Won't you take me to the edge of night and make me
Won't you make me walk into the light

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And there'll be no eyes
No eyes that see such beauty would lose their sight
And there'll be no lies
No lies that you could tell me to make things right

[Chorus]
Because I gave all my money to people and things
And the price I'm still playing for the shit that it brings
Doesn't fill me with hope for the songs that you sing
Tonight, this is your life
Angel child

[Verse 2]
When you find out
When you find out who you are
You know you'll be free
To see your own ability

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But there'll be no eyes
No eyes that see such beauty would lose their sight
And there'll be no lies
No lies that you could tell me to make things right

[Chorus]
Because I gave all my money to people and things
And the price I'm still playing for the shit that it brings
Doesn't fill me with hope for the songs that you sing
Tonight, this is your life
Angel child

[Outro]
Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child
Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child
Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child
Tonight, this is your life, this is your life
Angel child

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.
