Musical Inspirations: 02

I saw Oasis last month at the Palace (for the sixth time). They put on a great show and sounded as good, if not better than I've ever heard them. I'm not sure if it was the acoustics of the Palace itself, or just their overall playing. Noel was great and brother Liam was his typical antagonistical self as always. They even added some piano to the show which was a first that I've seen from them.

Since seeing them, I thought I'd throw up another song of theirs. This one is called Gas Panic and is exceptionally good. It's from their fourth album titled "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" and is written by Noel Gallagher, while sung by Liam. It's one of their more dark tracks, as you can tell by the words. Couple that with a sample of it here, and you might be able to tell what he's talking about. Overall a kick ass song though and a classic writing by Noel.

Gas Panic

What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name but I can't be certain
And in me he starts to confide

That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
Better get on yer knees and pray panic is on the way

My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost dancer
My eyes are dead and my throat's like a black hole
And if there's a god would he give another chancer
An hour to sing for his soul

Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
Yer better get on yer knees and pray panic is on the way

Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on yer window
Then you get on your knees and you better pray
Cos my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And when you hear me tap on your window
Yer better get on yer knees and pray
Panic is on the way
Panic is on the way
