Champagne Supernova
By: Oasis

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day 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 walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they’re
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world’s still spinning round
We don’t know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they’re
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world’s still spinning round
We don’t know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high

I think it means that Noel Gallagher was high as a kite and trying to emulate the Beatles with creative, bizarre wordplay.

Drug addiction.

“Some day you will find me caught beneath the landslide.”
This is a reference to ODing

“Slowly walking down the hall Faster than a cannon ball” this is a reference to stimulents.

Watch the video. See the guy laying in bed wide awake while the room spins. Symbolism for being unable to sleep.

Great song.

Commentary: Philip Seymour Hoffman's selfish act
I am going to say here what I said to someone on Facebook, who then called me an unfeeling b****: Drug addicts may be diseased, but they are also selfish as hell. People who have diseases usually do everything in their power to find a cure. My own …
