Songfacts®:

  • Noel Gallagher (from Select magazine): "It's about a boy who's got a girlfriend, and he used to go out with her sister, that he fancies her mother, doesn't get on with her brother, and, as somebody gets her cousin, pregnant, and everybody thinks it was him, because he's a bit of a f---in' run c---, but it wasn't."

    "It's not a true story," he added. "Is it a true story? I'm saying f--k-all me."
  • Gallagher borrowed the chorus melody from the tune to 1970s UK preschool program You and Me.

  • Fox ...... from SaleI used to live on the same estate in Burnage...and the song is obviously about Rose...coz they both know her and she was electric!
  • Luke from Manchester, UkNot only is the chorus robbed from You & Me but the "...and I wannnnt you t'know" bit it robbed from While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
    Yet another example of how Oasis owe The Beatles a ton of thanks.
