Talk Tonight

“It’s a true story, really. Liam fucking hated it at first and I remember him saying in a interview that I was singing it with an american accent. Which just shows how strung on drugs he was at the time. I’d left the band at the point, well, I don’t know what I was doing. I was just off me fucking head. And I met this chick and she sorted me head out, really. […] The bits I like are where I take me watch off at the beginning and start coughing - it sounds really honest. It’s quite a sad song, but it’s quite uplifting as well.” - Noel.

Supersonic

“Someone told me ‘Supersonic’ was about teenage prostitution. Shit. It’s about a nine-stone Rottweiler called Elsa who was in the studio where we were recording.”

— Noel.

Cigarettes & Alcohol

“I remember writing it in my flat in Manchester, and two guys used to live above me, and in those days, being the fucking geezer that I was, I used to write on the electric guitar with my amp in the fucking room, in a block of flats, on ten, and one of the guys passed me on the stairs and said ‘You’re not gonna fucking write a song to that riff are you? That’s fucking rubbish’ and I was going ‘Listen fat arse, that’s gonna be fucking amazing when it comes out.’ - Noel Gallagher
