Bring It On Down
Oasis/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today was just a blur you gotta head like a ghost train
What was that sound ringing around your brain?
You're here on your own who you gonna find to blame?
You're the outcast you're the underclass
But you don't care because you're living fast
You're the un-invited guest who stays 'till the end
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe tonight.
Bring it on down. Bring it down for me
Your head's in a fish tank
Your body and your mind can't breath
You're the outcast - you're the underclass
But you don't care - because you're living fast
You're the un-invited guest who stays 'till the end
I know you've got a problem that the devil sends
You think they're talking 'bout you but you don't know who
I'll be scraping your life from the soul of my shoe tonight.

Oasis = greatest band, period.
Mr Bowlerhat
Why on earth did 'See the Sun' never make it into any of their albums, that guitar and bass is enough reason by itself let alone the kick-ass vocals.
Verity Treacle
Mr Bowlerhat guessing it’s too funky and reminiscent of Madchester. agree though, it sounds excellent.
charlie mann
Best oasis I heard! This is great stuff! Thank you so much
Nobody Was Here
That drums are nearly supernatural. Very 1960s-esque, and jazzy.
Manuel Hammad
See the sun is a proper GODLIKE tune

It's as if when the official recording button was pushed Mccarrol shit himself and reverted to an 8 beat apart from when he fancied it up on Columbia.....
These songs would be fucking immense if rerecorded and produced correctly!!!
