    Talking to the songbird yesterday
    Flew me to a place not far away
    She's a little pilot in my mind
    Singing songs of love to pass the time
    Gonna write a song so she can see
    Give her all the love she gives to me
    Talk of better days that have yet to come
    I've never felt this love from anyone

    She's not anyone
    She's not anyone
    She's not anyone

    A man can never dream these kinds of things
    Especially when she came and spread her wings
    Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
    Then she flew away into the night
    Gonna write a song so she can see
    Give her all the love she gives to me
    Talk of better days that have yet to come
    Never felt this love from anyone

    She's not anyone
    She's not anyone
    She's not anyone Writer/s: Liam Gallagher

  • Dan from CanadaNoel is lying as usual. He once said that "Born on a Different Cloud" was so good when he first heard it that he had problems believing that Liam wrote it, so, no, "Songbird" is not the only song that he likes from his brother.
  • Justin from MnThere's 3 chords actually - Em, G, and a D/F# chord (D chord with F# as root.) So the progression goes: G, D/F#, Em... then it's reversed: Em, D/F#, G... repeat.
  • Andre from Sao Paulo, BrazilNever realized how a song can be so beautiful!
  • Carley from New Sarepta, AbSuch a happy, up-lifting song =)
  • Jezebel from Lincoln, MoI looooooooove this song. I'm suprised not many people have commented on it. Well just me and you connagh!
  • Connagh from London, Englandliam wrote this song under a tree in a park in france in only 10 minutes
