[Verse 1]
I hear my heart beating faster
I feel it in my bones
I want it now 'cause I have to
But why, no-one knows
I'm like the angel on the A train
My eyes are diamond white
From the cradle 'til you're insane
For life you have to fight

[Pre-Chorus]
But no-one knows why there's a spirit in the sky
That they've escaped for so long
He will understand, while I take him by the hand
That life's time tunnel is long

[Chorus]
Well, it will be alright
If you stay tonight
It's where we both belong
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on

[Verse 1]
I hear my heart beating faster
I feel it in my bones
I want it now 'cause I have to
But why, no-one knows
I'm like the angel on the A train
My eyes are diamond white
From the cradle 'til you're insane
For life you have to fight

[Pre-Chorus]
But no-one knows why there's a spirit in the sky
That they've escaped for so long
He will understand, while I take him by the hand
That life's time tunnel is long

[Chorus]
Well, it will be alright
If you stay tonight
It's where we both belong
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on

[Outro]
It's gonna be alright
You're going to stay tonight
It's where we both belong
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on
It's gonna be full on

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.
