All your dreams are made 
When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade 
Today's the day that all the world will see 
Another sunny afternoon 

Walking to the sound of my favorite tune 
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon 

Need a little time to wake up 
Need a little time to wake up wake up 
Need a little time to wake up 
Need a little time to rest your mind 

You know you should so I guess you might as well

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 »
