  • Sing a sad song
    In a lonely place
    Try to put a word in from me
    It's been so long
    Since I found this space
    You better put in two or three
    We as people are just walking 'round
    Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground
    What we don't see
    Well it can't be real
    What we don't touch we cannot feel

    Where we're living in this town
    The sun is coming up and it's going down
    But it's all just the same at the end of the day
    And we cheat and we lie
    Nobody says it's wrong
    So we don't ask why
    'Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day
    We're throwing it all away
    We're throwing it all away
    We're throwing it all away at the end of the day

    If you're needing
    Something I can give
    I know I'd help you if I can
    If you're honest and you say that you did
    You know that I would give you my hand
    Or a sad song
    In a lonely place
    I'll try to put a word in for you
    Need a shoulder? Well if that's the case
    You know there's nothing I wouldn't do

    Where we're living in this town
    The sun is coming up and it's going down
    But it's all just the same at the end of the day
    When we cheat and we lie
    Nobody says it's wrong
    So we don't ask why
    'Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day
    Don't throw it all away
    Don't throw it all away
    Don't throw it all away
    Don't throw it all away

    (Throwing it all away)
    (Throwing it all away)
    (Throwing it all away)

    Throwing it all away
    Throwing it all away
    You're throwing it all away at the end of the day Writer/s: Noel Gallagher

  • Jimmy Williams @stonerose89 from Wrexham Great song.. recently found out this was recorded on wrexham N.wales on the 22/06/1994 at the winding studio.
    After speaking to the previous owner
    She told me she used to prepare the bands meals. Its also rumoured that
    Up in the sky was demo’ed there.
    So some reason the studio was never credited for the recording.
  • Dave from Liverpool, EnglandThis is the most underrated Oasis song ever written. All the so called guitar bands out there would love to have a song like this in their catalogue and noel thinks its only a "b" side!!!
    I love playing this on my guitar!
  • Ben from Whittier, Cayeah this song great great work from noel it does remind me how do the working class people are i am that kind of person but the part were it says

    Where we're living in this town
    The sun is coming up and it's going down
    But it's all just the same at the end of the day
    And we cheat and we lie
    Nobody says it's wrong
    So we don't ask why
    Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day
    We're throwing it all away
    We're throwing it all away
    We're throwing it all away at the end of the day.

    that does hit me but it is true to many people.
