[Verse 1]
A feeling sleeping deep inside
You hide it so I'll never find
Today I think I'll waste my time
You never notice you are blind
The dream I have can never be
To photograph what the eye can't see
I fight to live another day
I live to find now come what may

[Pre-Chorus]
Faith in the lord is something I could never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
'Cause the lord I know don't got no have faith in me

[Chorus 1]
You're my lover
You're my lover
You're my lover
You're my lover

[Verse 2]
She gives me light when the sun goes down
She gives me strength and I don't drown
She gives me hope and destiny
She gives me air that I can breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
Faith in the lord is something I could never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
'Cause the lord I know don't got no faith in me

[Chorus 2]
You're my lover
I'm your brother
You're my lover
I'm your brother

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Faith in the lord is something I could never have
Faith in my sister is gonna set me free
Faith in the lord is something I will never have
'Cause the lord I know don't got no faith in me

[Chorus 2]
You're my lover
I'm your brother
You're my lover
I'm your brother

[Chorus 2]
You're my lover
I'm your brother
You're my lover
I'm your brother

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.
