Every Single Oasis B- Side List

List of Every single Oasis B-side Oasis have ever released.

The good oil on the street is that there's enough quality Noel Gallagher tunes here for another Masterplan! 

Hell, most bands don't have this many songs! There are a few here that a ripe for being covered by big artists I reckon. Masterplan and Rockin chair may be. 

No, definitely.

Holy Mountain lyrics Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds from Who Built The Moon?

Holy Mountain lyrics Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds from Who Built The Moon?

Noel's back with a cracker of a tune! It's the first song released from Noel's third studio album, Who Built the Moon.

Of note is that Paul Weller plays the organ on the track. Weller famously of course did the duel solo on Champagne Supernova back in the glory says of Oasis.

Lyrics to Holy Mountain

Dance dance, if you do that dance
I'm gonna let you join my one man band
Be my doll, be my baby doll
Come get to know me like the back of your hand
I like the name hanging out in shade
I like the way you do the push and the shove
You can blow my mind if you're that way inclined
All that I know is that you fell from above

She fell, she fell, right under my spell
Hold up pretty baby c'mon
She danced, she danced, right into my hands
Hold up pretty baby c'mon
Be my butterfly
You were almost shaking me
You rolled me at the top of them all
And if you feel the need
I'll send you Godspeed
To me you're hangin' at the break of the dawn

Get out of the doldrums baby, now
You lie, I'll set ya' on fire
Get out of the doldrums baby, now

Do your thang on the beat of the bang
I'll put a melody inside of your head
No need to shout, what you bitchin' about?
I think those things are better left unsaid
She had a look you won't find in a book
And she smiles like 1969
You could blow my mind if you're that way inclined
And I know you're gonna make it mine

She fell, she fell, right under my spell
Hold up pretty, baby c'mon
She danced, she danced, right into my hands
Hold up pretty, baby c'mon
Be my butterfly
You were almost shaking me
You rolled me at the top of them all
And if you feel the need
I'll send you God's speed
To me you're hangin' at the break of the dawn

Get out of the doldrums baby, now
You lie, I'll set ya' on fire
Get out of the doldrums baby, now

She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell
She fell, she fell, right under my spell

Flick the Finger lyrics by Beady Eye

The first single from Beady Eye’s second album, here’s Flick the Finger’s lyrics:

Lyrics

Woke up this morning, I was late, off out on the dark side,

With the moon and the room on the wrong side.

I took a needle for myself right back at the seams,

I saw my universal gleam.

I see the wonder of life and look for the wall,

Taking a walk in the sun.

In time, in just a second like the ghost of a bad idea,

I feel myself getting the fear.

Come on, have we decided if we like being part of the plan.

It sends us shifting and there’s nowhere to land

It’s on; it doesn’t matter if all of these tickets are sold

And all the old stories are told

I know you’re gonna tell me that you hear every word I say

But the future gets written today;

Yeah the future gets written today.

Spoken word of the quote by Jean-Paul Marat (1743-1793):

“Don’t be deceived when our revolution has been finally stamped out and they pat you eternally on the shoulder and say that there’s no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason for fighting because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretense of bringing them culture.

Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they’ll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists, will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces.”

Stratford's finest Oasis tribute band

Trust Noel to say somethign witty about his brother singing Wonderwall at the Olympics closing ceremony.

At a War Child benefit concert at Dingwalls in London on Tuesday night, Noel hit back by dedicating his version of Wonderwall to "Stratford's finest Oasis tribute band".

Since Oasis split up three years ago after an argument at a music festival in Paris, the brothers have been estranged. Noel has frequently played his old band's songs live, though Beady Eye have resisted – until their concerts supporting the Stone Roses this summer, when they played Morning Glory and Rock'n'Roll Star.

Beady Eye's version of Wonderwall was their first public performance of the song.

Noel Gallagher Big Day Out New Zealand

There were two reasons two go to the Auckland Big Day Out in 2012. One rhymed with Garden and the other was Noel Gallagher. Mr Oasis. Mr Wonder Wall.

He said the day before the show:

"I haven't been to NZ since 1997. I have no recollection of it at all! My tour manager informed me I may have had an impromptu sing song round a piano in a hotel bar with that singer Joe Cocker!! I don't remember that at all!! Scary, eh?"

I saw that show - it was pretty crazy, Liam was drunk, Noel stormed out!

Playing the last ever gig at the BDO, Noel had some big shoes to fill. Joe Strummer did an amazing set after the RCHP in 2000 and the Flaming Lips will live in infamy for their costume filled closing act in 2005.

So did Noel deliver? Let's just say for him to close the Big Day Out with Don't Look Back in Anger was pretty apt. Also die hard fans got three Oasis b-sides! Stocked to here Talk Tonight - I pretty much learnt how to play guitar with the chords from that song! Any way, here's the set list.

JJ Reviews: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds debut album

The second song on Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds is titled ‘Dream On’. It’s a punchy tune that suggests Oasis fans can dare to dream on that Noel can continue to produce great music without the vocal contribution of estranged brother Liam (and vice versa as Beady Eye’s debut album wasn’t too shabby).

If you’ve ever wondered what Oasis would be like without Liam, you only ever had to listen to some of that band’s classic b-sides like The Masterplan and Talk Tonight. Now, High Flying Birds however is your chance to hear some A-side material in quantity, much like the lyrics of U2's song 'One'.

Similar in tone to Dig Out Your Soul, High Flying Birds runs along at an even pace backed by a crew of usual suspects such as Dave Sardy and Marc Rowe.

Noel, who appears to have been the Emperor Palpatine of Oasis,  may have progressed as a lyricist – they seem to be slighty more introspective than standard Oasis fare – where as Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova’s lyrics were meanders slowly down the ‘hall of whatever’, songs like The Death of You and Me and X strongly hint at real moments that have occurred in Noel's life.

The Death of You and Me (lyrics) is a nice wee tune, harking back to arguably Oasis’ last genuine hit, The Importance of Being Idle. Underneath the song is a nice basic guitar chord progress but it's wrapped in the usual sounds of Beatles-esque horns and trumpets. The more you listen, the more you’ll perhaps come to enjoy this as a classic Noel Gallagher song.

‘AKA What a life’ is a cracking single. Governed by a strong piano riff and drum beat, Noel is in fine form. If one had to compare it to a prior Oasis track, Falling Down jumps out, though I feel this is a better song. It has a good video too – The Death of You and Me has a matching video. Watch them together for an interesting story featuring Noel’s buddy Russell Brand.

Stop the Clocks (remember that name?) is a fine album closer - clearly written  by Noel when Oasis was still Oasis and it should have been a song sung by Liam - it's screaming out for his vocals.

Thanks to the development of the MP3, these days artistic output is often consumed song by song – fans would be doing themselves a dis-service if they only listened to the singles – this is a fine album, consistently enjoyable the whole way through – with no filler tracks as the odd recent Oasis album has been guilty of.

Noel should be proud of his debut solo effort, positive sales suggest so as well. 

I'm hanging out to see Noel's set at the Big Day out in Auckland next week!

Did you hear Noel Gallagher has a new album out? Do the Damage is a b-side to the lead single, In the Heat of the Moment.
