Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants
[a]Oasis[/a] should have realised it wasn't going to get any better than Knebworth, but the brutal truth is that too many people were making too much money for it to be allowed to stop.
At least they are still standing. But it's been a close call. If 'Be Here Now' was the sound of Oasis staggering through the blizzard of superstardom, barely conscious of where they were going nor particularly caring one way or another, then its successor is a twitchy, tentative attempt at dealing with life as it really is (albeit as it really is with shedloads of wedge). And as...

Oasis - Standing on the Shoulder of Giants: Wikipedia Album Entry
Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is the fourth album by the British rock band Oasis. Itwas released on the 28'st of February in 2000. It has received mixed reviews by professionals. This is the first album from Oasis which doesn't show two of the Oasis' founding members, Bonehead and Guigsy. This album lacks the usual optimism, which usually heard in Oasis' songs. It even sometimes has a quite depressing sound, on songs like "Where Did It All Go Wrong" and "Sunday Morning Call".
However, we can concider this album as the most experimental. It has drum loops, backwards guitar, electric sitar and more. Songs like "Go Let It Out" were a departure from the usual Oasis' style, while "Fuckin' In The Bushes" is concidered to be the Oasis song that has very much influences by older hard rock bands like Led Zeppelin. The album was released with the Big Brother label, the bands own.

Oasis - Standing on the Shoulder of Giants Lyrics
Oasis - Fuckin' In The Bushes Lyrics
We put this festival on, you bastards
With a lot of love
We worked for one year for you pigs
And you want to break our walls down
Oasis - I Can See A Liar Lyrics
Baby, the time is right
To tell it all like it is
And now that I feel God like
There's nothing that can't be kissed
Oasis - Sunday Morning Call Lyrics
Here's another Sunday morning call
You hear your head a bangin' on the door
Slip your shoes on and then out you crawl
Into a day that couldn't give you more
Oasis - Where Did It All Go Wrong? Lyrics
Two, three, four
You know that feeling you get
You feel you're older than time
Oasis - Gas Panic Lyrics
What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name but I can't be certain
And in me he starts to confide
Oasis - Little James Lyrics
Little James
We're all the same
Always seem to look to us
We weren't meant to be grown ups
Oasis - Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is Lyrics
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer Mamma sez that you was real
Put yer money where yer mouth is
Yer Mamma sez that you was real
Oasis - Who Feels Love Lyrics
Found what I lost inside
My spirit has been purified
Take a thorn from my pride
And hand in hand, we'll take a walk outside
Oasis - Go Let It Out Lyrics
One two three four
Paint no illusion, try to click with whatchu got
Taste every potion, 'cos if you like yourself a lot
Oasis - Roll It Over Lyrics
I can give the hundred million reasons
To build a barricade
Blame it on the changing of the seasons
The thoughts that I convey
