| Noel seems to mention 'take me away' so often in his songs: Roll with it, All around the world, Slide away, and obviously, in this song. It's probably based on the beatles 'magical mystery tour' on the lyrics 'the magical mystery tour is waiting to take you away - waiting to take you away'. I suppose Noel wants to be taken away by the beatles image, and what led them to be known across the globe as genius songwriters. | |

| A great b-side. Noel should do this on his acoustic tours. And its "Cos I'm sad here on my own" | |

| One of the best Oasis songs. Definitely one of Noel's best performances aswell; talking of which, I think he should include this in his acoustic sets. Would work well alongside Talk Tonight and Cast No Shadow. An underappreciated song as said above; it should be on The Masterplan and Stop the Clocks. | |

| It certainly is underappreciated. A little slower than most songs but its to convey the sadness. Its a song that you can really relate to. Fantastic! | |

| "I'd like to be under the sea" is taken clearly from the Beatle's song Octopus' Garden written by Ringo Starr for the album "Abbey Road". | |
