I'm a relatively obsessed and reverent Oasis fanatic, but I'm not delusional. Even I know that this is miles better than the original. Let's face it, SOTSOGs was Oasis' worst album. Paul Weller did Noel's lyrics justice. Good job, sir.
@trevortrotman2 sorry, whats this have to do with Liam? this song is written and sung by Noel Gallagher, and this cover is done by Paul Weller. so... what you on about?!
Always liked Weller but sorry man this doesn't get near Oasis version. Noels voice is better suited to the song, and dont like the jazz sound of Wellers
I love Weller! but I don't think this song is for him. his voice is too upbeat for the song. It's not meant to be an upbeat song at all. Noels voice is more genuine and it easier to see what the whole meaning of it is. I liked his beatles reference. drugs all not fun. The song shows that drugs are one dark lonely road and it's more lonely than anything else.
I really like both versions for different reasons. To be honest, I find that nothing is quite the same as an Oasis song, which I love. Having said that, some of the covers are dazzling. :)
i don't think it's better, i do think it's happier than the oasis one. but then again i think the oasis one is more heart felt. afterall it is about a nasty coke habbit. this is good though and is nice to here. but i just really like the original. oasis and weller rule.
i was looking for it for ages once i found out it was the lead balloon theme tune. Even though oasis are my fave band i just love this cover so much =D
i used to be a massive fan of the jam, but went off paul weller in recent years. and now i keep hearing these great songs only to find out its paul weller, so i guess i've been missing out on a lot. shame on me.
its a great cover but give noel gallagher some credit- he wrote it! i know theres people on here saying this is a better version but i personally prefer oasis' version
Why the fuck is that hidden? Oasis are my favourite band and you bunch of cunts should stop crying about the fact I think Weller might have improved one of their songs....
@LockeThomasStaley Why on what video are people saying this?

The interest thing is that everyone here says Noel's version is better whereas on the Oasis's video most people says the ... what the hell

he does put his own spin on it and you have to like that. What makes a great song is that other people can play it and put their own deal on it....

One thing Ill say about this is that uits too upbeat for a different theme song. then again, the chorus and prechorus kick major ass.
