Don't Look Back In Anger

"Don't Look Back in Anger" is a song by the British rock band Oasis, written by the band's guitarist, Noel Gallagher. Released as the fourth single from their hit second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, the song became the band's second single to reach #1 in the United Kingdom charts, where it also went platinum. "Don't Look Back in Anger" was also the first Oasis single to feature Noel on lead vocals instead of his brother, Liam Gallagher. The title is perhaps a play on the song "Look Back in Anger", from David Bowie's Lodger album or on the play, Look Back in Anger by John Osborne.

[Verse 1] Slip inside the eye of your mind Don't you know you might find A better place to play? You said that you'd never been But all the things that you've seen Slowly fade away [Pre-Chorus] So I start a revolution from my bed 'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside, summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out [Chorus] And so, Sally can wait She knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away But don't look back in anger, I heard you say [Verse 2] Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows if it's night or day Please don't put your life in the hands Of a rock 'n' roll band Who'll throw it all away [Pre-Chorus] I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed 'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside, 'cause summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face 'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out [Chorus] And so, Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away But don't look back in anger, I heard you say [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] So, Sally can wait She knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away But don't look back in anger, I heard you say [Outro] So, Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away But don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger I heard you say At least not today
