GOING NOWHERE. Stand By Me b-side & The Masterplan album track.

Time 4:41 Lyrics Noel Gallagher Vocals Noel Gallagher album The Masterplan single Whatever

Keyboard by Mike Rowe. Strings and horns arranged by Nick Ingmann.  Written around 1990 before the band was signed, and it was not recorded until after the Be Here Now album when there was a space for something less massive. Noel and drummer Alan White are the only Oasis members involved, with piano, brass and horn players to bring a vaguely Burt Bacharach atmosphere. Noel only wishes he knew another rhyme for car and Jaguar! Noel: "It's about what we were going to do when we got a shitload of money off Creation"

lyrics Hate the way you've taken back Everything you've given to me And the way that you always say It's nothing to do with me Different versions of many men Come before you came All their questions were similar The answers just the same I could do with a motorcar Maybe a Jaguar Maybe a plane Or a day of fame I'm gonna be a millionaire So can you take me there Wana be wild Coz my life so tame Here am I, going nowhere on a train Here am I, growing old with wind and rain Here am I, going nowhere on a train Here am I, getting lost and lonely, sad And only wise sometimes Coz my life feel so tame
