Oasis

[Verse 1]
Who kicked a hole in the sky
So the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun
In a world come undone at the seams?

[Chorus 1]
Let there be love
Let there be love

[Verse 2]
I hope the weather is calm
As you sail up your heavenly stream
Suspended clear in the sky
Are the words that we sing in our dreams

[Chorus 2]
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love

[Verse 3]
Come on, baby blue
Shake up your tired eyes, the world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty sky
But if it makes you happy, keep on clapping
Just remember I'll be by your side
And if you don't let go, it's gonna pass you by

[Verse 1]
Who kicked a hole in the sky
So the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun
In a world come undone at the seams?

[Chorus 3]
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love

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.
