Some Might Say
*Released April  25, 1994. Debuted at #1 on the UK charts*

"It was the first song that I ever wrote when I moved to London and it was inspired by listening to The Faces.
Alan McGee wanted the A-side to be 'Acquiesce' because he didn't think 'Some Might Say' sounded like a
Number One. He's a great man but his one fault is that he has absolutely no idea how to pick singles. As soon as
I'd written 'Some Might Say' I was absolutely certain it would be a Number One and I was right. I never had even
the slightest doubt." - Noel

SOME MIGHT SAY 

Some might say that sunshine follows thunder 
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine 
Some might say that we should never ponder 
On our thoughts today cos they will sway over time  

Some might say we will find a brighter day 
Some might say we will find a brighter day 

Cos I've been standing at the station  
In need of education in the rain  
You made no preparation for my reputation once again 
The sink is full of fishes  
Cos she's got dirty dishes on the brain 
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend  

Some might say they don't believe in heaven  
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell 
Some might say you get what you've been given 
If you don't get yours I won't get mine as well  

Some might say we will find a brighter day 
Some might say we will find a brighter day 

Cos I've been standing at the station  
In need of education in the rain  
You made no preparation for my reputation once again 
The sink is full of fishes  
Cos she's got dirty dishes on the brain 
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend 
 

TALK TONIGHT 

Sittin' on my own 
Chewin' on a bone 
A thousand million 
Miles from home 
When Something hit me 
Somewhere right between the eyes  

Sleepin' on a plane 
You know you can't complain 
You took your last chance 
Once again 
I landed, stranded 
Hardly even knew your name  

I wanna talk tonight 
Until the mornin' light 
'Bout how you saved my life 
You and me see how we are 
You and me see how we are  

All your dreams are made 
Of Strawberry lemonade 
And you make sure 
I eat today 
You take me walking 
To where you played 
When you were young  

I'll never say that I 
Won't ever make you cry 
And this I'll say 
I don't know why 
I know I'm leavin' 
But I'll be back another day  

I wanna talk tonight 
Until the mornin' light 
'Bout how you saved my life 
(You saved my life) 
I wanna talk tonight 
(I wanna talk tonight) 
'Bout how you saved my life 
(I wanna talk tonight) 
'Bout how you saved my life 
(I wanna talk tonight) 
'Bout how you saved my life 
(I wanna talk tonight) 
'Bout how you saved my life  

I wanna talk tonight 
(Repeat in background)  
 

ACQUIESCE 

I don't know what it is 
That makes me feel alive 
I don't know how to wake 
The things that sleep inside 
I only wanna see the light 
That shines behind your eyes  

I hope that I can say 
The things I wish I'd said 
To sing my soul to sleep 
And take me back to bed 
You want to be alone 
When we could be alive instead  

Because we need each other 
We believe in one another 
And I know we're going to uncover 
What's sleepin' in our soul 
Because we need each other 
We believe in one another 
(And) I know we're going to uncover 
What's sleepin' in our soul 
What's sleepin' in our soul  

There are many things 
That I would like to know 
And there are many places 
That I wish to go 
But everything's depending 
On the way the wind may blow 
I don't know what it is 
That makes me feel alive 
I don't know how to wake 
The things that sleep inside 
I only wanna see the light 
That shines behind your eyes  

Because we need each other 
We believe in one another 
And I know we're going to uncover 
What's sleepin' in our soul 
Because we need each other 
We believe in one another 
(And) I know we're going to uncover 
What's sleepin' in our soul 
What's sleepin' in our soul  

What's sleepin' in our soul 
What's sleepin' in our soul 
'Cause we believe 
'Cause we believe 
Yeah, we believe 
'Cause we believe 
'Cause we believe 
'Cause we believe 
Because we need 
Because we need  
 

HEADSHRINKER 

I know a girl who's lost and lonely 
Sits by the phone on her own 
But the phone don't ring 
And the birds don't sing in her tree 
She lost herself in a haze of pity 
And doesn't know where to run 
Needs a headshrinker now 
And I think its time we had some fun  

Lost in a fog 
Up a tree like a dog 
And I'm out of here 
I got no name 
And I feel no shame 
And I got no fear 
And I bow down 
To the tears of a clown 
Whatever's going down 
Is coming around 
I hope you don't regret today 
For the rest of your lives  

For the rest of your lives 
For the rest of your lives 
For the rest of your lives
