Millionaire
Beady Eye (Oasis) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You drive it and I'll spend it looking out my window
Sweet sound the door the shadows painted and the light he saw
The way I'm seeing now so clear, like diamonds on the water
A medal with me and you'll meddle with yourself
For there is a higher wealth
Love them like a millionaire
You just need to know yourself
And love them like a millionaire
Her faded glamour out of season as the ages pass
Desperate for inspiration as the months run down like rain
Sweet sound the door I stood outside your door
And saw the lights out shining in the summer the way the light shines out the water
A medal with me and you'll meddle with yourself
For there is a higher wealth
Love them like a millionaire
Medals on your prominition rags
You just need to know yourself
And love them like a millionaire
Like a lover, like a lover, like a lover
A medal with me and you'll meddle with yourself
For there is a higher wealth
Love them like a millionaire
Medals on your prominition rags
You just need to know yourself
And love them like a millionaire
Like a millionaire
The lyrics to Beady Eye's Millionaire are imbued with a sense of longing and wistfulness for a lost love. The song is characterized by a slow, meditative pace that emphasizes the introspective nature of the lyrics. In the opening verse, the singer muses about the passing of time and the beauty of the world outside, which he sees as "clear, like diamonds on the water." He seems to be contemplating the transient nature of all things, and how we are all mere passengers on a journey through life.
In the chorus, the singer offers a kind of prescription for dealing with the vagaries of existence. He suggests that if we love others like a millionaire, we will be rich in spirit and fulfilled in life. He asserts that it is only by knowing ourselves and loving others that we can attain true wealth. This wealth is not measured in material possessions or accolades, but in the richness of our relationships and connections with others.
The song's verses and chorus ultimately convey a message of hope and perseverance through the ups and downs of life. It suggests that even in the face of loss and uncertainty, we can still find joy and meaning by cultivating a deep sense of empathy and compassion for those around us.

Sweet Cadaqués to Figueres, a 40 minute ride
You drive it and I'll spend it, looking out my window
Sweet Salvador, the shadows painted, and the light he saw
The way I see it now, so clear
Like diamonds on the water
Meddle with me and you meddle with yourself
For there is a higher wealth
Love me like a millionaire
Medals on your proud militia rags
You just need to know yourself
And love me like a millionaire
Her faded glamour, out of season, as the ages pass
Desperate for inspiration as the months run down like rain
Sweet Salvador, I stood outside your door
And saw the lighthouse shining in the sun
The way the light shines off the water
Meddle with me and you meddle with yourself
For there is a higher wealth
Love me like a millionaire
Medals on your proud militia rags
You just need to know yourself
Love me like a millionaire
Like a lover
Like a lover
Like a lover
Meddle with me and you meddle with yourself
For there is a higher wealth
Love me like a millionaire
Medals on your proud militia rags
You just need to know yourself
Love me like a millionaire
...like a millionaire

Such a great song. Why could this music be ignored by the entire world, it's like The Beatles releasing a record in 2011.

It’s great, always loved it. Andy bell is a great songwriter, and all the beady eye songs that he wrote were great as were the ones they wrote together as a band.

Andy Bell is most definitely the best songwriter in Beady Eye. Been showing natural talent for tunes since his time with Ride.

Beady Eye, even if you don't like the song, you can't dislike this, Beady Eye are the closest to Oasis and every one of their songs bring back the memories of Oasis, and i'm just glad to hear Liam's Voice :)

I heard this song once, and forgot about it for years. Then I remembered the chorus's melody while I was trying to write some music, and I thought I'd come up with it myself, but I wasn't sure. Fast forward three more years, and this comes on my Spotify shuffle playlist and hits my brain like a ton of bricks. I'm equally gutted and happy that this song exists.
