Oasis: Supersonic Page #3

"What? Doing what?"

"He's the singer."

"He's the singer? He can't f***ing sing."

"Oh, I don't know now.

He said he's the singer."

And that was it,

and then I, kind of, got home

and our Paul's going,

"Oh, yeah, he's in this band.

"They're pretty f***ing good, you know."

And then they were playing

at the local band night

on at the Boardwalk.

And I went down to see them.

# Take me, when I'm young and true

# Was it me or was it you?

# Take me, when I'm not so strong

# Why has it taken you so long? #

I was like, "Wow, f***ing hell!

I'm pretty impressed."

They had their own songs,

and Liam didn't look that out of place.

The first thing they said when they

come up to me was, "What did you think?"

I said, "It was f***ing great,"

and they said, "We were thinking,

would you fancy being our manager?"

I was like, "What?

What the f*** are they talking about? No."

And they were, like, "Because you know

loads of people, and all that."

"Not sure about that.

I think you'd get a better manager than me."

And then a couple of weeks later

Liam said, "Come and f***ing jam with us."

You know, so I went and sat in with them

and I was playing their tunes,

and it was great.

And then I think the second time I went,

Liam was going, "Play them

that f***ing song that you played us."

And then once everybody all joined in

and you hear this thing

that you've, in inverted commas, "written,"

being played back to you in this room

and it's like,

"Wow! F***ing hell! That's amazing!"

It just went from there, really.

# It's a bit early

in the midnight hour for me

# To think of all the things I want to be

# I don't believe in everything I see

# You know I'm blind, so why do you disagree?

# Take me away

because I just don't want to stay

# And the lies you make me say

are getting deeper every day

# These are crazy days but they make me shine

# Time keeps rolling by

# All around the world

# You've got to spread the word

# Tell them what you heard

# Because you know it's going to be okay #

To hear your own stuff played back,

it was really a mega moment.

And then it went nowhere for two years.

So, I mean, there is the myth that I kicked

open the f***in' rehearsal room door

to the theme tune from

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly,

and said, "Everybody, stop what you're doing.

I am here to make us all millionaires."

You know, It wasn't that at all,

you know what I mean?

No, the truth is,

he got on his hands and knees and said,

"Listen, I'll do anything,

just, please, let me be in your band."

I said, "Get up off your hands and knees,

son. You're all right, you can do it."

I think I've got a picture of it somewhere.
