Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

	It's actually a play on words. During the height of the Cool Britannia era in the early/mid 90s, there was a swanky cutting-edge club called "Columbia" where a lot of rock stars would hang out and score coke. It IS about cocaine. The lyrics are pretty specific, and Noel has made no secret about his addictions and their influence on his songwriting (alcohol and cocaine).

	"The lyrics are pretty specific" says bradleyb. I couldn't disagree more - these are about the most vague lyrics I've heard in a song. However the explanation of the atmosphere surrounding a club called Columbia makes sense, if indeed that's what he had in mind when he wrote the song. The lyrics are so vague that it could be about anything though. Someone could say, "the song is about marching polar bears," and if you take that theory into the lyrics it would make sense. After all, if I was seeing a line of marching polar bears I would be "WTF?" and "What I heard is not what I hear / I can see the signs but they're not very clear" - I mean, I wouldn't be able to believe what I am seeing. "So I can't tell you the way I feel / Because the way I feel is oh so new to me" would make sense because, were I to see a line of marching polar bears, I would get a strange new feeling of utter disbelief and would try to take in the new experience. So yeah, I think it's about seeing a line of marching polar bears.

	It sounds like both Noel and Liam were singing the chorus, but I don't know which one was falsetto-ing. I'm listening to this song right now and it's just dawned on me how absolutely catchy it is. It's very Definitely Maybe aswell, you just wouldn't get a song like this on What's the story?

	Cocaine, right?

	Yer, I love this song too. Great rock an' roll song. Is it true that Liam co-wrote this song?

	Yeah. Ain't about cocaine. Too bad Noel didn't give Liam credit for cowriting it. :(
