The Masterplan
Information
|
The Masterplan is not really an album in the usual sense, but is a collection of Oasis' best B Sides. Originally it was not going to be released in the UK, but fans' pressure forced them to. The intention was to release the 'album' in countries that had not had all the singles released before, giving those fans the opportunity to hear the best B Sides. |

Lyrics
I don't know what it is that makes me feel aliveI don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes
I hope that I can say the things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to sleep and take me back to bed
You want to be alone when we could be alive instead
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(And) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
There are many things that I would like to know
And there are many places that I wish to go
But everything's depending on the way the wind may blow
I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
(And) I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Yeah, we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Because we need
Because we need
Underneath The Sky
3:20
Lyrics
Underneath the sky of redThere's a story teller sleeping alone
He has no face and he has no name
And his whereabouts are sort of unknown
All he needs is his life in a suitcase
It belongs to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky, underneath the sky again. Underneath the sky again.
So wish me away to an unknown place
I'm living in a land with no name
I'll be making a start with a brand new heart
Stop me making sense once again
All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky, underneath the sky again. Underneath the sky again.
All we need is our lives in a suitcase
They belong to a friend of a friend
And as we drink to ourselves we'll amuse ourselves
Underneath the sky, underneath the sky again. Underneath the sky again.
Talk Tonight

Lyrics
Sittin' on my ownChewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes
Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name
I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are
All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young
I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day
I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
I wanna talk tonight
Going Nowhere

Lyrics
Hate the way that you've taken backEverything you've given to me
And the way that you'd always say
It's nothing to do with me
Different versions of many men
Come before you came
All their questions were similar
The answer's just the same
I'm gonna get me a motor car
Maybe a Jaguar
Maybe a plane or day of fame
I'm gonna be a millionaire
So can you take me there?
Wanna be wild 'cos my life's so tame
Here am I, going nowhere on a train
Here am I, growing older in the rain
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey
[repeat from start]
Here am I, going nowhere on a train
Here am I, growing older in the rain
Here am I, going nowhere on a train
Here am I, getting lost and lonely
Sad and only, why sometimes does my life feel so tame?
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey
Hey 'ey
Fade Away

Lyrics
When I was youngI thought I had my own key
I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Now I'm sure
You've boarded up every door
Lived in a bubble
Days were never ending
Was not concerned
About what life was sending
Fantasy was real
Now I know much
About the way I feel
I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away, away, away
They fade away, away, away
Now my life has turned
Another corner
I think it's only best
That I should warn you
Dream it while you can
Maybe someday
I'll make you understand
I'll paint you the picture
'Cause I don't think you live round here no more
I've never even seen
The key to the door
We only get what we will settle for
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
While we're living
The dreams we have as children
Fade away
They fade away, away, away
Fade away, away, away

Lyrics
I am he and you are he and you are me and we are all togetherSee how they run like pigs from gun, see how they fly, I'm cryin'
Sitting on a cornflake, I'm waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirts, stupid bloody Tuesday,
Man, you've been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the Eggman, we are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus,
Goo goo g' joob
Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run, I'm cryin'
I'm cry......, I'm cryin', I'm cry........
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fish wife, pornographic priestress,
Man you've been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
But I am the Eggman, we are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus,
Goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get your tan from standing in the english rain
I am the Eggman, we are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus
Goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob
Experts textperts choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you
See how they spy like pigs in the sky, see how they snide, I'm cryin'
Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Element'ry penguins singing Hare Krishna,
Man, you should've seen him kicking Edgar Allen Poe
I am the Eggman, we are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus
Goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob
Goo goo g' joob, g' goo goo g' joob
G' goo...
Listen Up
6:38
Lyrics
Listen up what's the time said todayI'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 a 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
(Repeat from top)
Sailing down a 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
I said that I don't mind
Being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said I don't mind being on my own
Rockin' Chair
4:35
Lyrics
I'm older than I'd wish to beThis town holds no more for me
All my life I've tried to find another way (another way)
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I've tried to make a better day
It's hard enough being alone (being alone)
Sitting here by the phone (by the phone)
Waiting for my memories
To come and play
It's hard enough sitting there (sitting there)
Rockin' in your rockin' chair (rockin' chair)
It's all too much for me to take
When you're not there (you're not there)
Half The World Away
4:24
Lyrics
I would like to leave this cityThis old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down
So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down
(It's Good) To Be Free
4:18
Lyrics
Head like a rock spinning round and roundI found it in a hole sitting upside down
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
You demand the answers but I don't know why
In my mind there is no time
But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free
So what would you say if I said to you
It's not in what you say it's in what you do
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind there is no time
But the little things they make me so happy
All I want to do is live by the sea
Little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free
Stay Young
5:05
Lyrics
One way out is all you're ever gonna get fromThose who'll hand them out don't never let it upset you cos
They'll put words into your mouths they're making you feel so ashamed
They're making you take the blame
They're making you cold in the night
They're making you question you heart and soul
And I think that it's not quite right
Hey, stay young and invincible
Cos we know just what we are, and
Come what may we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are
Yeah we know just what we are
Yeah we know just what we are
Feed your head with all the things you need
When you're hungry
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday, cos
They'll put words into my mouth they're making us feel so ashamed
They're making us take in the blame
They're making me cold in the night
They're making me question my heart my soul
And I think that it's not quite right
Hey, stay young and invincible
Cos we know just what we are, and
Come what may my faith's unshakeable
Cos we know just what we are
Cos we know just what we are
Cos we know just what we are...
Headshrinker
4:38
Lyrics
I know a girl who's lost and lonelySits 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 its 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
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
For the rest of your lives
The Masterplan
5:22
Lyrics
Take the time to make some senseOf what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Sail them home with Acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they land upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud today
And then dance if you wanna dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All -- we
Know is that we don't know
How it's gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't make us understand
We're all part of the masterplan
Say it loud and sing it proud today
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way
Cos everything that's been has past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud today
We'll dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All -- we
Know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
We're all part of the masterplan
