  • I get up when I'm down
    I can't swim but my soul won't drown
    I do believe I got flare
    I got speed and I walk on air

    'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
    'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
    And I get so high I just can't feel it
    And I get so high I just can't feel it

    In and out my brain
    You're runnin' through my vein
    You're my sunshine
    You're my rain

    There's a light that shines on
    Shines on me and it keeps me warm
    It gimme peace, I must say
    I can't sleep 'cause the world won't wait

    'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
    'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
    And I get so high I just can't feel it
    And I get so high I just can't feel it

    In and out my brain
    You're runnin' through my vein
    You're my sunshine
    You're my rain

    And I get so high I just can't feel it
    And I get so high I just can't feel it
    And I get so high I just can't feel it
    And I get so high I just can't feel it

    In and out my brain
    You're runnin' through my vein
    You're my sunshine
    You're my rain Writer/s: Noel Gallagher

  • Davie Boy J from GlasgowWho gives a s--t where this or that came from. Fact is it landed like a grenade. Bangin tune (superb) hats off
  • Ollie from Jersey, United KingdomStereophonics actually lifted this harmony from an old Abba tune. Noel didn't get the name from a t-shirt, it's an actual name of a newspaper he saw in India.
  • Neil from Birmingham, United Statesi also think that this song is definatle about drugs. i think its probably about cocaine. it has a cocaine feel to it in its hyper activity.
  • Neil from Birmingham, United Statesfalse fact there at the top. The song was a single in the uk
    im sure i bought it ...
  • Shaun from Melbourne, AustraliaCoolest Oasis lyrics ever :"God gimme soul and all rock 'n roll babe"
  • Martijn from Arnhem, NetherlandsKelly Jones, frontman of Stereophonics, wasn't angry at Noel because of ripping the riff of their song 'Same Size Feet'. Kelly said that he used so many Oasis riff that now Noel could have one of theirs, it didn't matter.
  • Andy from Halifax, EnglandThe title has nothing to do with the lyrics. This song started out as an instrumental and was called 'hindu times' then the words came later. The title for the album also came from a random t-shirt, this time for the 'society of heathen chemists'
  • Sara from Fairfax, Va"Force of Nature" would have made a great first single.
  • Carlos Arredondo from Monterrey, MexicoThe b side "Just Getting Older" was made by the time of the release of the Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants Album
  • Carlos Arredondo from Monterrey, MexicoIt came to substitute the song "Force Of Nature" as Heathen Chemistry's first single
  • Denis from Cork, IrelandThe guitar riff on this is lifted from the song "Same Size Feet" on the album "Word Gets Around" by the Stereophonics
