It’s so Symphonic, it’s Iconic

How to write a poem for you

When you create masterpieces

We all know it’s true

Childhood memories with Peggy

In that council flat

Southern Manchester

How do we escape it?

Lucky black cat

You became an older brother

At five

Something changed in you

And it brought your responsibility

Alive

What beautiful names

Liam and Noel

What shall we do?

Let’s rock ‘n’ roll 

Study the anthems and

Learn the guitar 🎸 

A natural introvert

Keep my head down

It’ll take me far

It’s a slog and struggle

Hustle and grind

Something’s gotta give

Teamwork makes the dream work

I suddenly remembered 

Just how we’ll thrive

A band name like Oasis

We’ll take on the world

I did fall for this girl 

Once

I like the way her hair 

Curled

Not really bothered by our

Class

It gives us an inner strength

Show ‘em two fingers

They can shove it up their

Arse

Hit after hit

Liam can sing

Play the maracas and

Tambourine

Bring ‘em in

There’s so much in me

But I don’t feel like a machine

If they knew how much it had cost

And where we’d been

Sometimes it feels strange

Being me

A lot of love

But the complexity

Of what they don’t see

Born on 29th May

The same day as

Bob Hope and JFK

What a world we’re 

Living in

2025, Oasis reunion

Can’t quite believe

The plan’s come together

We should all be proud

Of ourselves

Everyone who took part

Music journalism

Can be clever

What an art

You’ve written and achieved

So much

A fan of Razorlight’s

Golden Touch

High Flying Birds

Incredible guitar riffs

And all of your fascinating 

Words

The Masterplan is such

A masterpiece Master Man

That performance at Knebworth in ‘96

The harmonica, strings

It’s like a beautiful, healing

Psychedelic fix

I love your voice, soul

And favourite acoustic

Guitar

You’ve taken me so far

Coming up with lines 

like

‘Dance if you wanna 

Dance

Please brother take a 

Chance’

The way your music speaks 

To me

It puts me in a trance

If you wanna find me

Just look through the 

Looking glass

I’ll be there if you need me

Sleep well on tour

Remember to keep the secrets

And always feel and be
