| I think this song is one of the best ever. It's so beautiful, it doesnt have many diferent lyrics but its still brilliant. Best Oasis song ever - no problem. Its a shame its not on an album. | |

| Fantastic tune...pure genius by Noel. Also loved it when they played at Knebworth when Noel added the verse of The Beatle's "Octopus' Garden" at the end, top tune either way though!!! Oasis will SHIIIIIINNNNNNE ON!!! | |

| As far as the sound of this song, it definately has a different sound than most of their other output. For some reason it always brings "All the Young Dudes" to mind with a touch of Lennon in that bridge where Liam's voice becomes hollow sounding and the line "Before we get on the bus and cause no fuss" brings The La's "Doledrum" to mind. That's what I love about Oasis, they remind you of old friends by paying homage to them in this way. There is nothing really original about Oasis but they sure have combined all the best elements of British rock and done it right and that's why they are one of my favs. | |

| This song is great, but it's not that great. The way I see it, any of Noel's song could have been a single. Why does this one get special emphasis? I suppose it doesn't matter. People are people. They'll get their opinions fed to them. | |

| "Im free to be whatever I, Whatever I choose and I'll sing the blues if I want" I heard that Noel wrote this because of his dad who used to force him to work as a builder, and he didnt want to | |

| Very good song. I wouldn't say it's Oasis' best... too simple. But it's catchy as hell and east to sing along with. Big thumbs up for this one. | |

| There is an actual hidden meaning to the song. It was a song Noel wrote before he joined Oasis, His dad wanted him to follow him into working alongside him but Noel didnt want to, he wanted to join Liams band. | |
