"Don't Look Back In Anger" lyrics

"Don't Look Back In Anger"

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play?
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock 'n' roll band
Who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say

So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say

So, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger, don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today

Noel Gallagher acknowledged that some lines from this song were taken from a cassette tape containing John Lennon's memoirs, e.g. "gonna start a revolution from my bed".
The title of this song is a reference to David Bowie's song "Look Back in Anger" from the album "Lodger" (1979).
The cover art to the "Don't Look Back In Anger" single is a reference to The Beatles history when Ringo Starr had briefly quit the band and found flowers on his drum kit upon his return.
This song shows the apparent influence by The Beatles and especially John Lennon. The piano intro was taken from Lennon's "Imagine".
