I Don’t Look Back In Anger
Inspired by Don’t Look Back In Anger – Oasis (but varying the tune; we may deviate more from the pattern of that song in the final version)
Written by Steve Wallis, 25/2/2007
Dedicated to Rhiannon Williams (the first serious love of my life)
Listen to your heart as well as your mind
Don’t you know you might find
A better place to live
We loved each other in our teens
Memories of those who were mean
Will slowly fade away
CHORUS 1:
I planned a revolution when in my bed
But my memories of you never left my head
Come up north, I’ve got a spare room
Stand up with me for the masses
Even though I won’t resist some passes
Our love will help capitalism fizzle out
CHORUS 2:
So Rhiannon can wait
She knows it’s not too late
My emails may have made her laugh or cry
Her soul won’t slide away
I don’t look back in anger
You heard me say
If you come up here to Glasgow
We’ll defeat every foe
And find time to play
You can put your life in the hands
Of a rock and folk band
We won’t throw it all away
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2 (with “My soul” instead of
“Her soul”)
CHORUS 2
CHORUS 2 (with “My soul” instead of “Her soul” and a second “I don’t look back in anger”)
Please come here and stay!
I have recorded this song as a musical poem, now available as a Windows Media Audio (WMA) file or in MP3 format.
