[Intro]
One, two, three
Two, two, three

[Verse 1]
Bye bye my friend, I'm leaving
I'm gonna feast on the stars in the sky
And while I be gone, don't stop dreaming
And don't be sad and don't cry
'Cause lazy days and sunny rays will guide me
Back home where I belong
If God gives me grace, then He will find me a space
And I hope I'll be singing this song

[Chorus]
Don't stop being happy
Don't stop your clapping
Don't stop your laughing
Take a piece of life, it's alright
To hold back the night

[Verse 2]
Lazy days and sunny rays will guide me
Back home where I belong
If God gives me grace, then He will find me a space
And I hope I'll be singing this song

[Chorus]
Don't stop being happy
Don't stop your clapping
Don't stop your laughing
Take a piece of life, it's alright
To hold back the night

[Bridge]
From time to time, though we're whole words apart
You will still hold a groove in my heart
From time to time, we will fall side by side
You'll still have that look in your eye

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Don't stop being happy
Don't stop your clapping
Don't stop your laughing
Don't stop your laughing
Don't stop your laughing
Don't stop your laughing
Don't stop your laughing
Take a piece of life, it's alright
To hold back the night

[Outro]
It's alright to hold back the night
It's alright to hold back the night

Oasis

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.
