  • Thought that I died today
    Walked off the stage
    Faded away up through the clouds
    To 'the gig in the sky'
    And when I arrived, the angels were singing this song
    Yeah you know the one, are you singing along?

    Thought I'd know just what to do
    That it'd be how I wanted it to
    The Ox and Moon were counting me in
    I had to give in
    Make the thunder and lightning sing
    In the eye of the storm, there's no right and no wrong

    So long, so long
    Someday all the world will sing my song
    Still life remains
    Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on

    I thought it was the end of the world
    Beat with guitars, and all that I understand
    Is air through metal and wood
    I'm misunderstood
    And wasted on money and fame
    I'll throw it away
    Just to prove that I can
    I'm the last of a dying breed
    And it's not the end of the world, oh no
    It's not even the end of the day

    So long, so long
    Someday all the world will sing my song
    Still life remains
    Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on

    So long, so long
    Someday all the world will sing my song
    Still life remains
    Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on

    So long, so long
    Someday all the world will sing my song
    Still life remains
    Somewhere in my heart the beat goes on Writer/s: ANDY BELL, GEM ARCHER, LIAM GALLAGHER
