Songfacts®:

  • Noel Gallagher explained the song's meaning to Select magazine: "This is about looking back and going, 'Well, we've got where we wanted to be, but it's been f---in hard work.' There was a lot of trauma along the way, tools, in America, getting shot of the drummer (Tony McCarroll), and all the rest of it."

    "So, it's not been as big a laugh as we thought it would be. This song is basically saying, 'There's no time for running away now.'"
