single
Some Might Say

Recorded for Some Might Say in '95, but written three years earlier during the band's punkier phase. It's also one of Liam's greatest vocals, partly because of the freedom from pressure that doing B-sides can offer.
Noel: "Written before we had a manager or anything like that. That one is really fast, really loud. Probably the best drumming track that the ex drummer ever done. It's written about a girl that Liam was going out with at the time - she was a pain in the ass. She followed the band everywhere. I don't know what 'headshrinker' actually means. I just thought it was a phsyciatrist or something I suppose. It sounds like the Faces on speed, doesn't it? We used to have a lot of fast songs like that years and years ago in '92-'93. We were more like a punk band then really."


lyrics

I know a girl who's lost and lonely
Sits by the phone on her own
But the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing in her tree
She lost herself in a haze of pity
And doesn't know where to run
Needs a headshrinker now
And I think it's time we had some fun

Lost in a fog
Up a tree like a dog
And I'm out of here
I got no name
And I feel no shame
And I got no fear
And I bow down
To the tears of a clown
Whatever's going down
Is coming around
I hope you don't regret today
For the rest of your lives
