single The Hindu Times
album Heathen Chemistry

Noel: "When we laid down the instrumental for The Hindu Times we went away on tour with The Black Crowes and I think it was Gem who came up with the one line. He said it's like your favourite Oasis song ever because we were listening to it, like constantly and I didn't have any lyrics for it. I was like sitting there thinking right well I'm going to try now. So I just decided to write a song that was the most optimistic that I could fucking get out of myself. You're my sunshine you're my rain, you know there is a light that shines, it shines on me. The word Hindu in the title as well I thought it's a bit spiritual and stuff but it was Gem that unwittingly perhaps was the concept of the song."

lyrics

I get up when I'm down
I can't swim but my soul won't drown
I do believe I've got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

Coz god give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
Coz god give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
Running through my veins
Coz you're my sunshine
You're my rain

There's a light that shines on
Shines on me
And it keeps me warm
It gave me peace
I must say
I cant sleep
Coz the world won't wait

demo

You fall in - we fall down
There's no love in this shotgun town
What you believe is not fair
Then you leave and the world won't care

The ghost that is your soul it leaves me cold babe
The ghost that is your soul it leaves me cold babe
Coz you get so high you just don't feel it
Yeah you get so high you just can't feel it

In and out your brain running through your veins
You got no sunshine you got rain

You fall in - we fall down
There's no love in this shotgun town
What you believe is not fair
Then you leave and the world won't care
