About All Around the World

"All Around the World" is a song by the English rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist and principal songwriter Noel Gallagher. It is the longest song ever recorded by Oasis. Released on 12 January 1998, the track peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart and earned a Silver certification. This was the last Oasis single to be released on the Creation Records label. The song also reached number 15 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I want to be
I don't believe in everything I see
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree?

Take me away cos I just don't want to stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

Whatcha gonna do when the walls come falling down?
You never move you never make a sound
Where you gonna swim with the ridges that you found?
You're lost at sea well I hope that you drown

Take me away cos I just don't want to stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
And all around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na, na na, na na,
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na,
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na na na

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
Cos and all around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

It's gonna be okay
It's gonna be okay

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
Cos all around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
And all around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
And I know what I know, what I know what I know
Yeah I know what I know it's gonna be okay

Oasis

Oasis were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. Developed from an earlier group, the Rain, the band originally consisted of Liam Gallagher (lead vocals, tambourine), Paul Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass guitar), and Tony McCarroll (drums). Upon returning to Manchester, Liam's older brother Noel Gallagher (lead guitar, vocals) joined as a fifth member, which formed the band's core and settled line-up. During the course of their existence, they had various line-up changes, though the Gallagher brothers remained as the staple members. more »
