HALF THE WORLD AWAY. Whatever b-side & The Masterplan album track.

Time 4:24 Lyrics Noel Gallagher Vocals Noel Gallagher album The Masterplan single Whatever

This track was written at the start of those troubled American dates when the pressure was already building and the band was falling apart. Noel: "I played This Guy's In Love With You and that's where I pinched all the chords from. I sort of moved a few around, put that one there and put that one there. There you go, you got another song. I like the lyrics - it's about leaving cities. I'm not sure anyone else likes it. I played the drums on this one as well actually. Because our ex drummer wasn't one the most talented people in the world. Probably the easiest song to play... He just couldn't get it right. I think Bonehead plays the keyboard and Owen Morris plays the bass."

lyrics I would like to leave this city This old town don't smell too pretty, and I can feel the warning signs running around my mind And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum Coz I can feel the warning signs running around my mind So here I go I'm still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway Half the world away... I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down And when I leave this planet You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it, and I can feel the warning signs running around my mind And if I could leave this spirit I'll find me a hole and I would live in it, and I can feel the warning signs running around my mind Here I go I'm still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway Half the world away... I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down Don't feel down...
