“I Am The Walrus (Live)” was released as a B-side to “Cigarettes & Alcohol”. In 1998 it was included on the B-side compilation album The Masterplan.
This song was a steady part of Oasis' live performance in their early days before their debut album was released.
When Oasis played small venues...
[Verse 1]
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly, I'm crying
[Chorus]
Sitting on a corn-flake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you've been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the egg man, we are the egg men, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
[Verse 2]
Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Man you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the egg man, we are the egg men, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
[Chorus]
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the egg man, we are the egg men, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
[Verse 3]
Expert text pert choking smokers, don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide, I'm crying
[Chorus]
Semolina pilchards, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the egg man, we are the egg men, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob
G'goo goo g'joob, goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, goo
