License This Song 

• (I've seen so much disgust, mother)
  (Take me into your arms)
  (How am I to protect you?)
  
  There we were, now here we are
  All this confusion, nothing's the same to me
  There we were, now here we are
  All this confusion, nothing's the same to me
  
  I can't tell you the way I feel
  Because the way I feel is oh, so new to me
  I can't tell you the way I feel
  Because the way I feel is oh, so new to me
  
  What I heard is not what I hear
  I can see the signs but they're not very clear
  What I heard is not what I hear
  I can see the signs but they're not very clear
  
  So I can't tell you the way I feel
  Because the way I feel is oh, so new to me
  I can't tell you the way I feel
  Because the way I feel is oh, so new to me
  
  This is confusion, am I confusing you?
  This is confusion, am I amusing you?
  This is peculiar, we don't want to fool ya
  This is peculiar, we don't want to fool ya
  
  (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
  (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
  (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
  (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
  (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
  (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
  (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Writer/s: Noel Gallagher
