LISTEN UP.
Cigarettes & Alcohol b-side & The Masterplan album track.

Time 6:39
Lyrics Noel Gallagher
Vocals Liam Gallagher

album The Masterplan
single
Cigarettes & Alcohol

This song is also known under the early name On My Own which used to have a solo much longer than the one you hear in the later version. Liam had wanted it shorter, so Noel had disagreed on the principle: If you don't argue with Liam, he gets upset. Four years later, Liam got his way and Listen Up was left with a short but extremely well played solo!


lyrics

Listen up what the time said:
"Today I'm gonna speak my mind"
Take me up to the top of the world
I wanna see my crime
Day by day there's a man in a suit
Who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts that you think
And the words they won't let you say

One fine day... Gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad... If I had more time

Sailing down the river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
No I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own
