MAGIC PIE. Be Here Now album track.

time 7:19 lyrics Noel Gallagher vocals Noel Gallagher album Be Here Now

The only song on Be Here Now featuring vocals by Noel. Even though many like this song and it's one of Liam's favourites it was never released as a single. About the name: How did the Beatles get their name?, Paul McCartney had a dream in which he saw a man standing in a flaming pie, the man said to him:"You are now the Beatles with an A." Maybe that's the pie Noel is associating to. Noel: "I sang this one and of course me and Liam had a row about it, but it's his favourite track now. The first line 'An extra-ordinary guy - can never have an ordinary day' comes from him asking me: 'How come you never get into any of the situations I get into?' And I borrowed something from Tony Blair's speech at a Labour conference. 'There are but a thousand days preparing for a thousand years.'"

lyrics An extra-ordinary guy Can never have an ordinary day He might live the long goodbye But that is not for me to say I dig his friends, I dig his shoes He is just a child with nothing to lose But his mind, his mind They are sleeping while they dream And then they wanna be adored They who don't say what they mean Will live and die by their own sword I dig their friends, I dig their shoes They are like a child with nothing to lose In their minds, their minds But I'll have my way In my own time I'll have my say My star will shine Coz you see me, I've got my magic pie Think of me, yeah That was me I was that passer by I've been and now I've gone There are but a thousand days Preparing for a thousand years Many minds to educate And people who have disappeared D'you dig my friends? D'you dig my shoes? I'm like a child with nothing to lose But my mind, my mind We'll have our way In our own time We'll have our say Coz my star's gonna shine
