Liam Gallagher's first song, written for James Kensit, Patsy's son by Jim Kerr. Elevated by Liam's stark emotional vocals and naïve but ingenious rhymes.
Noel "When we were up on our studio, you could always hear Liam somewhere, strumming a guitar. We kept hearing this tune, but he was getting a bit coy about it. One day he was in one of the live rooms, we'd left a mic switched on, and he was singing it to himself really quietly. So we put a tape in and recorded without telling him. A few days later, he left to go on holiday with Patsy, and we wrote the words down, did a little arrangement, and by the time he got back from Tenerife, we'd finished the song and it was ready for him to sing. I think he was intending it to be a little acoustic number, but I said if it was going on the album, it had to be massive. I think it's a really good attempt for a first song."
