Oasis - Idler's dream

Oasis - Idler's dream (The Hindu Times [Heathen Chemistry], 2002)

Lyrics:

My heart it skips a beat when i behold
the light that's shining through your eyes of gold
From heavenly blood you seem to spring
From heavenly waters you can drink
I'll meet you on a day that never ends
I'll greet you in a way that heaven meant
You lay me down gently on the leaves
You cover me over in my sleep

I never did say that i wish i could
I never could pray cos it's just no good
I hope you don't break my heart of stone
I don't wanna scream out loud
and wake up on my own

And as i close my eyes
and the sky turns red
I realise just what you are
You're an idlers dream
and you're singing shangri la...
Shangri la
Shangri la
Shangri la

BEAUTIFUL. NOEL IS A GENIUS

[thebomber1983]

this is one of oasis best songs, very different, but brillant. a guarnteed no1 if released s a single. it would hit no 1 now even, coz its not well known. Long live oasis

[NightCloudless]

genius indeed

[JoeSki7CFC]

Shangri-la is a made up place from some old story, so it fits well with the song 'idlers dream'. Tune.

@anwiyayoukhanna I prefer this song too, but it's my opinion that something "melodramatic" (I agree btw) like SCYHO would be the more commercially successful song. Subtlety and reality usually doesn't transfer over well to the mainstream. You usually have to beat it over the general public's collective heads in order to be a huge hit. Something like this would probably be a bit much, even though it's not exactly rocket science, is it?

I wish I could play the piano just to play this song

[awowsmatow]

@brieflycake Everyones entitled to their own opinion man.I think there both nice songs but not great, personally!

[Hasselnorris]

Sometimes I want to ring Noel Gallaghers neck to try beat some sense into him about his choice of b-sides. This was a single, maybe one of his best tunes ever, instead it gets a place as a b-side on oasis' weakest album.

[anwiyayoukhanna]

OKKKK SCYHO IS GOOD, but are you listening to this right now??? Honestly the lyrics to SCYHO are a bit uhhhh melodramatic. Instrumentation/feel is still good. This song on the other hand comes off as sincere and not trying to make a overly-sentimental hit. Don't get me wrong... OASIS ROCKS!!! And I'm really tired of people hating on Beady Eye... would they be happier if Liam just sat on his ass all day??? These guys are PROPHETS!

@anwiyayoukhanna Are you mad? This instead of Stop Crying Your Heart Out? Stop Crying Your Heart Out is one of Oasis' best tracks ever!! This track is good, but doesnt come close to prior mentioned track.

[anwiyayoukhanna]

shouldve been on HEATHEN CHEMISTRY instead of STOP CRYING UR HEART OUT.... str8 the fuck up

[Redzone8837]

What a song ! Oasis is my religion, Noel my god.
