Champagne Supernova
Oasis Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How many lives are livin' strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walkin' down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walkin' down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
'Cause people believe
That they're gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinnin' 'round, we don't know why
Why, why, why, why
How many special people change?
How many lives are livin' strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walkin' down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
'Cause people believe
That they're gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinnin' 'round, we don't know why
Why, why, why, why
Na, na, na

How many special people change?

Where were you while we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high

We were getting high
We were getting high

We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high

That they will escape and live carefree lives during the summer
But you and I, we live and die
You and I experience life and death

Despite not knowing why, the world is constantly in motion
Why, why, why, why
Pondering the reason for something

I just turned 30 in Australia and I have loved this song since I was a young lad about 9-10 years of age. Now I jam it on guitar everytime a have a jam 🤟
