[Verse 1]
You're never gonna get along, hanging out, thinkin' out loud
You're never gonna get it on and be someone stuck in that crowd
So you call out for feelings you hope that don't never exist
But don't be ashamed of your bones and your blisters
So come on, come on my brothers and sisters

[Chorus]
'Cos you can only be what you are and you've got
The heart of a star but the light never hits ya'
And I said come on, come on my brothers and sisters

[Verse 2]
If you could see what I could see, maybe we could all get along
And maybe I can justify the bad things in life that I've done
So I call out the feelings I know that don't never exist
I won't be ashamed of my bones and my blisters
So come on, come on my brothers and sisters

[Chorus 2]
'Cos you can only be what you are 'cos you've got
The heart of a star but the light never hits ya
And I said come on, come on my brothers and sisters

[Verse 3]
And the slower that you go, the greener the grass grows
And what we all need is love in our lives
So go 'bout your business 'cos life ain't your mistress
Come on, come on my brothers and sisters

[Chorus 3]
'Cos you can only be what you are 'cos you've got
The heart of a star but the light never hits ya'
So be all you can and just hold up your hands
Someday you'll understand why life never kissed you
And I said come on, come on my brothers and sisters
Come on, come on my brothers and sisters
I said come on, come on my brothers and sisters
I said come on, come on my brothers and sisters
I said come on, come on my brothers and sisters

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.
