I AM THE WALRUS.
Cigarettes & Alcohol b-side & The Masterplan album track.

Time 8:15
Lyrics John Lennon & Paul McCatney
Vocals Liam Gallagher
note live version

album The Masterplan
single
Cigarettes & Alcohol

Contrary to previous credits, I Am The Walrus was not recorded at the Glasgow Cathouse but at a conference of Sony executives, gathered to hear Creation's new signings. Oasis used to play it at gigs in Liverpool, as an act of bravado aimed at the local bands, even The Beatles never did this one live.
Technical note: any "Looseness' in Noel's guitar playing here is attributed to half a bottle of Sony-financed gin.


lyrics

I am he as
You are he as
You are me and
We are all together

See how they run
Like bits from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying
 
Sitting on a cornflake
I'm waiting for the van to come
 
Corporation t-shirts stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy
You let you face go long

I am the egg man
We are the egg men
I am the walrus

City policeman sitting
Pretty little policeman in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run
I'm crying
 
Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dogs eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Man you been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down
 
I am the egg man
We are the egg men
I am the walrus
 
Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
But the sun don't come you get a tan from
Standing in the English rain

I am the eggman
We are the eggman
I am the walrus

Expert texpert choking smokers don't you think
The joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snied
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementry penguin singing hare krishna
Man you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allen Poe
 
I am the eggman
We are the eggmen
I am the walrus
