I think it has to be the heaviest non-metal rock song there ever was, epic. They must have absolutely blown the roof off in the studio recording this one
Lyrics: Is it my imagination Or have I finally found something worth living for? I was looking for some action But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol You could wait for a lifetime To spend your days in the sunshine You might as well do the white line 'Cause when it comes on top . . . You gotta make it happen! Is it worth the aggravation To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for? It's a crazy situation But all I need are cigarettes and alcohol! You could wait for a lifetime To spend your days in the sunshine You might as well do the white line 'Cause when it comes on top... You gotta make it happen!
As a 13 year old in 1994 this tune came from nowhere and was exactly what I needed to hear. Nothing else like it in the charts at the time and Oasis changed everything for me
Haha Ive never understood why people write our accent like that, we pronounce Sun exactly how it should be pronounced, just coz cockneys say "san" dunt mean they're right
i was fired and hired over 50 times.i am in mid 40's.though my inner insecurities swallowed me down sometimes. lyrics of this song helped me to endure times of troubles.good song,too.
I'm 18 years old and I don't need to tell everyone on this page that this is REAL music. Don't know what happened to Rock N Roll. I was in a club and a guy had a roses shirt on as well as a list of newer bands. We spoke about music and he found it funny that I said Oasis made some proper cool Rock music saying it wasn't rock. The roses made the sort of music that Oasis was inspired by! That's when you know that a generation has no hope and can't have a good time.
The Lyrics for this song are fucking incredible. Really spoke for a large amount of young people in the 90s and the lyrics are still relevant today. Great song
Agree, unfortunately the core of this one is by Marc Bolan and T Rex :) from 15 years before. Get in on, Get it on, GET IT OOOONNNN! Nothing like a bit of plagiarism to keep the money coming in. Noel would call it a homage I guess, like their early homage to the Beatles, particularly Helter Skelter.
Liam es un tipo de extremos, la evolución con el micrófono lo demuestra, pasa de agarrar el mic y colgarse, a no tocarlo más. No tiene ni un pelo de tibio!!!💙💙💙
This song is simply the essence of Rock n Roll, there is nowhere to run, no matter how much humans have their priorities, there comes a certain moment in life that it simply goes crazy, from there it ends up falling in their personal exhaust valves and in the majority of times, we find sex, drugs and Rock N Roll. This song has a punk and at the same time optimistic attitude of life, we have to always be worth it.
"Is it worthy aggravation? to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for. Its a crazy situation, but all i need are cigarettes and alcohol" That's my life pretty much
@@bigdickbrad1243 Bah. Even John Lennon copied riffs and he is to me the greatest. Sometimes that single chord sequence can spark and inspire a Whole song
Brings back memories of Soccer AM with referee Gallagher. "Welcome outside to the sun-shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine". Top band even though I was on the side of Blur back in the day. Still a massive Blur fan but you cannot deny that Oasis were an awesome band.

Everybody has nicked things from other singers/bands through the years and it still happens today.People saying everything by Oasis sounds like the Beatles is so untrue.There are only 3 songs I like by The Beatles as there are too many oohs and aahs for my liking.Of course Oasis brought something new to the table and they are still bringing it to the younger generation.
"You can wait for a lifetime....to SPEND YOUR DAYS IN THE SUNSHIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!" Doesn´t get more middle 90´s like that, love it! lol
Love how Oasis essentially is saying carpe dium, live only once in their own way. Euphemistic Trojan Horse - imagine a song titled Cigarettes and Alcohol that is about cocaine
Is it my imagination 단지 나의 상상일 뿐일까 Or have I finally found something worth living for? 아니면 내가 결국 살아갈 가치를 찾은 걸까?

I'm so glad this song waited for me for 22 years to find it. Back in 1996 I was too busy peeing my pants and throwing tantrums over toys I broke myself.

+Teodosio Di Genio I think you mean he was trying to sound like John Lydon whilst Noel was trying to sound like Bolan. The only thing I really like by Oasis is some scratchy 4 trk demo of "up in the sky". Liam has never sounded better.
+Ren Jay Im a fan of oasis in general tho but I still have to say liam on that demo is just unbelievable... the thing is their style became different I guess and liam developed a more raspy voice (if thats even the right word lol) Now ironically cigarettes and alcohol have nearly ruined his voice. I say nearly because recent videos of him show that he hasn't completely lost his '98 voice, unfortunately I don't think he can ever go back to those '92 demos tho
SupeRealOnYT His voice aged, but i think it's pretty cool nowadays too, with Beady Eye he rocked for a couple of years, and even if the beauty of his early voice is in part lost, i think he's still better tha Noel, Noel is a better singer but i not prefer him
+Teodosio Di Genio Yeah I do agree that he wasn't that bad in beady eye but all im saying is his voice back then was really something else and personally I like Noel and Liam equally and love listening to both but I also prefer Liam more tbh
Oasis is almost too cool. I can't listen to the songs I use to listen to when I was much younger, a lot of troubling memories but I still love this band. I also really like the band 'The Organ'.
is it just me or does it sound like t-rex at the start ? even so , this song is gold ... " it's a crazy situation , but all i need are cigarettes and alcohol "
Liams Vocab:
imagination - imginashiiann
action - acshian
sunshine - SOONSHIEIIINE!
I have a feeling this band singlehanded saved the local sunglasses business in the 90s.
Nirvana played a role too
90s one of the best era for bands
😂😂
I think it has to be the heaviest non-metal rock song there ever was, epic. They must have absolutely blown the roof off in the studio recording this one
Noel is like cigarettes, Liam is like alcohol. These two lads are so addictive. Oasis forever!
Nah, Noel is like alcohol, because he's actually useful! :D
***** noel and liam like is cocahine..

This song is perfect. Back in the 90s you could ask Noel to right a song about shit and it would've been #1 on Billboard.

The hearts of us Oasis fans aren't made to grow old, right?
Bands that make me smile; OASIS and THE BLUE COLLARS. Real music is still out there.
This song is so original, cool as fuck. Probably my favourite ever Oasis song, Liam's voice sounds quality, so raw.
WHU Chap not original tho is it? It copied T-Rex ' get it on '
Yeah i love the uber coolness of this song.
It`s really cool, but not original.

Welcome back Lads! The cigs and alcohol will certainly be consumed if I’m able to nab a ticket 😂
Although people call them rip offs, I do think they brought something new to the table

Which was what exactly?
Argentina loves Oasis!
All I need are cigaretts and Oasis!
I never knew Billie Joe and I have almost same taste in music
I've been listening to this masterpiece for more than 5 years
what does this mean?
Sex Pistols' influence can't be more evident. Such a great song!
just like in Bring it on down
You mean T-Rex lol
Sex Pistols mixed with TRex
Life changing anthem.
Yep!
"You can wait for a lifetime....to SPEND YOUR DAYS IN THE SUNSHIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!" Doesn´t get more middle 90´s like that, love it! lol
what a bunch of bloody vicious, but what a band of bloody genious...Oasis:one of the best rock band in the history
Just finished work on a Friday evening drinking a cold can of Tiger beer and smoking a smooth Dunhill Switch. This song seemed appropriate.
I’m gonna sing this one in my new band! Can’t wait 🙌🏻
youre too young. all I found was jaffa cakes & milky teaaaa

But all I found was cigarettes and alcohol
하지만 내가 찾은 모든것은 술과 담배뿐이야
You could wait for a lifetime
넌 일생 동안 기다릴수 있었지
To spend your days in the sunshine
햇빛아래서의 즐거운 시간을 보내기 위해
You might as well do the white line
너는 차라리 하얀선(도로중앙)을 넘는 편이 나아
Cos when it comes on top
왜냐면 정상에 이르는 순간
You gotta make it happen!
너는 그것을 가능하게 할 꺼야!

I saw them play at the Middlesbrough Arena thirty years ago, it was glorious then, and its glorious now....
20 years of Cigarettes & Alcohol
5 years of cigarettes and alcohol are fun. Twenty years are a big red nose, premature wrinkles and COPD.
One of the best bands ever 🔥🔥
they should have really extended the intro of this song
they couldn't - T-Rex hadn't written it
Rock-and-fucking-Roll. It doesn't get much better. Gritty, nasty, boisterous, and unapologetic.

pensate che ci sono stronzi che dicono che questo non è rock...
