Listen Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Listen up
What's the time said today
I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up to the top of the world
I wanna see my crime

If I had more time
[Chorus 1]
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
[Verse 1]
Listen up
What's the time said today

Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own
[Solo]
[Chorus 3]
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own

Noel Gallagher (2014 Definitely Maybe reissue liner notes):
I like the line, ‘I don’t believe in magic, cos life is automatic.’ I think it means something but I’m not quite sure what… I don’t really sit and write B-sides, I just write songs in my spare time. Then I kind of pick the best ones for th...
