D'You Know What I Mean?

Noel: "I was going to make up some profound statement in the chorus but I couldn´t come up with anything that fitted. then I just thought 'All my people right here, right now. D´You know what I mean? Yeah, Yeah - very vague, very ambiguous. Look in the mirror and wink while you sing it and it´s quite saucy. The Morse code in the background was inspired by The Beatles´ Strawberry fields. If anyone can tell me what it means please let me know."


lyrics

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
There's blood on the tracks and it must be mine
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back coz you know what you might see
 
Look into the wall of my minds eye
I think, I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good looking but I'm someone's child
No one can give me the air that's mine to breathe
I met my maker I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said: Hey, listen up man, they don't even know you're born

All my people right here right now
D'you know what I mean?...

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No one's gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me
