It's Better People
Oasis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's better people, love one another
'Cause livin' your life can be tough
It's better people, speak to each other
Your shame is not enough

If everybody came alive
And stayed alive
And lived their lives instead, yeah
So come outside
And feel the light
It's cold inside
But it's lonely in your bed, in your bed

And you though we might be
But what you heard before
Was only sleepin' in your brain
But if you came with me
The days'd never end
Would never be the same
They'd never be the same
They'd never be the same
Never be the same

It's better people, love one another
'Cause livin' your life can be tough
It's better people, speak to each other
Your shame is not enough

If everybody came alive
And stayed alive
And lived their lives instead, yeah
So come outside
And feel the light
It's cold inside
And it's lonely in your bed, in your bed

And you though we might be
But what you heard before
Is sleepin' in your brain
But if you came with me
The days'd never end
Would never be the same
They'd never be the same




This is goin by a different name
They'd never be the same

I remember the thrill of hunting around for Oasis singles. As an American Oasis fan, you had to get them as imports, and they were hard to come by. This was obviously before you could buy them online. Certain stores would have some and then other stores miles away might have another one. It was like searching for treasure and was always exciting to hear the incredible B-sides which were as good, if not better than most other bandsโ€™ A-sides.

@Marathon97

Yes! The only single I came across was Wonderwall. I was full on learning how to play guitar in 1995. Cut my teeth on those tunes. Played Talk Tonight and Rockin' Chair at my future wife's birthday party/1st blind date way back in 2000.

A friend of mine who also played music couldn't stand Oasis. I took a lot of heat! Played him the I Am The Walrus cover and he came over to my side just a tiny bit.

I wore that single out.

Hey there! Is Oasis big in japan? Oddly enough, I'm a wee bit curious about it.

I feel like every song you write speaks to me. I am glad Oasis is here because this matrix wouldnโ€™t be the same.

@johncreighton844

I'm glad that you're glad.
