Guess God Thinks I'm Abel

I could be your lover
You could be all mine
We'd go on forever
Till the end of time

You could be my best friend
Stay up all night long
You could be my railroad
We'd go on and on

Lets get along, theres nothin here to do
Lets go find a rainbow
I could be wrong but what am I to do
Guess God thinks Im Abel

You could be my enemy
I guess theres still time
I'd get round to loving you
Is that such a crime

No one could break us
No one could take us
If they tried

No one could break us
No one could take us
If they tried

No one could take us
No one could break us
If they tried

Come along lets make it tonight.

BONEHEAD'S BANK HOLIDAY

-an idler's dream-

heyz

BONEHEAD'S BANK HOLIDAY

You know I need a little break
To get away for a holiday
So I can see the sun
Cos in the sun they say it's fun
If you can get some
Well I could take a train or a boat or an aeroplane
Or I could steal a car
Cos in a car you can go far
Just depends on what kind of car you are

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
What kind of car you are
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I met a funny looking girl
On a crowded beach in Spain
Her name was Avaline
She said she came to Spain to have a good time
But she was with her mum
Who had a face like a nun in pain
She said her name was Dot
She didn't half talk a lot
I couldn't tell if she was mad or not

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Don't you know - I should have stayed in England
On my polluted beach - with all my special friends
Don't you know - I should have stayed in England
With my big house and my big car
And all my friends are there at the bar

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

You know I need a little break
To get away for a holiday
So I can see the sun
Cos in the sun they say it's fun
If you can get some
Well I could take a train or a boat or an aeroplane
Or I could steal a car
Cos in a car you can go far
Just depends on what kind of car you are

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
What kind of car you are
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

okok..that's NOT e song playing..ahahaha..oh wellz..but i love Idler's Dream..it's so simple n nice..beautiful b-side.. =)

Idler's Dream

My heart it skips a beat when I behold

The light that's shining through your eyes of gold

From heavenly blood you seem to spring

From heavenly waters you can drink

I'll meet you on a day that never ends

I'll greet you in a way that heaven meant

You lay me down gently on the leaves

You cover me over in my sleep

I never did say and I wish I could

I never could pray 'cos it's just no good

I hope you don't break up my heart of stone

I don't wanna scream out loud and wake up on my own.

And as I close my eyes and the sky turns red

I realise just what you are:

You're an idler's dream

And your singing Shang-ri-la

BRING OUT THE CHAMPAGNE

by Adrian Yap

While chic garage bands such as The Strokes appear to be the saviours of rock and roll, Oasis has been knocking back the lagers on a lazy boy as its favourite brutish sons. Ever since Definitely Maybe welcomed them as the loudest band in the world and the sophomore What's The Story (Morning Glory)? shot their fame to the stars, critics have been struggling to juggle the tiny dot between blatant unoriginality and brilliant pop artistry.

Not that the lack of sophistication bothered the near-capacity crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. If it was a rude, loud rock and roll gig they bartered for with their moolah, then the Gallagher brothers, Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Zak Starkey knocked their cockles out.

Touring on the strength of their latest album Don't Believe The Truth, arguably their tightest and most cohesive record since Morning Glory, the band was in ruthless shoes. They pulled out old and concise bar chord grunts such as 'Bring It On Down' and completely ignored the lengthy epics on Be Here Now.

Not that 'Stand By Me' wasn’t sorely missed. But latest cuts such as the quirky 'The Importance Of Being Idle' and the karaoke value of recent single 'Lyla' turned out to be superstar substitutions. The abrasively punky 'Mucky Fingers' saw Noel in post-Factory Records form, delivering it with a sneer.

Then the Morning Glory alumni got out their hankies and initiated the loudest karaoke yell-alongs. The catchy Brit--rocking title track had the crowd singing along to the air-fisting chorus, while 'Wonderwall' saw the ladies hankering for more. But it was really 'Don't Look Back In Anger'—the equivalent of 'Imagine'—that everyone came to sing to; to sing about Sally. The lyrics never did make any sense, yet standing amongst the 15,000 crowd, as Noel led in singing "Please don't put your life in the hands / of a rock and roll band / and throw it all away"-it made perfect sense. Oh, the cruel irony.

No matter how hard Noel tried though, it was always going to be Liam'’s show. No matter how many times Gem struck guitar hero poses, it was Liam they came to watch. Head tilted, hands clasped at the back, believing every word as he sang 'Rock 'N' Roll Star'—that's what they paid for.

Some have claimed that Oasis is a band led by a cheap Lennon knockoff with an affinity for discourteously loud guitars and beer guzzling as a healthy activity. Granted, if you disliked The Beatles in the 60s and Oasis in 1994 then you are unlikely to love them to tiny bits today. But what Oasis lacks in grand imagination they make up for in working class-like proficiency. A good song's a good song even if the guy who wrote it couldn't spell 'idiot' or beats up paparazzi for sport.

With a sizeable decade-long catalogue to pick through, Oasis could have packed the two-hour show with classics. Being their cocky selves, they chucked notable tracks such as 'Some Might Say' and 'Supersonic' aside. But as the last note of their cover of The Who's 'My Generation' lingered after a lengthy rock jam at the end, where Liam cheekily picked a girl from the crowd, gave her a tambourine and told her to stand at the centre of the stage before walking off, the crowd heaved a satisfying sigh. The kind of sigh where you know the S$100 you forked out was worth it; the gratitude that you managed to experience some rock and roll carnage before mid-life crisis kicks in.

Keep The Dream Alive 5:47

Four seasons seconds flicker and flash, Im alone
A lonely screen provides the scene, its no home
Every night I hear you scream
But you dont say what you mean
This was my dream, but now my dream has flown.

Im at the crossroads, waiting for a sign
My life is standing still, but Im still alive
Every night I think I know
In the morning where did it go?
The answers disappear when I open my eyes.

Im no stranger to this place
Where real life and dreams collide
And even though I fall from grace
I will keep the dream alive.
I will keep the dream alive.

'Hey you! Up in a tree..You wanna be me..Well that couldn't be..Cos the people here they don't hear you calling' -up in the sky-oasis-
