On “My Big Mouth,” Noel Gallagher addresses how his increasing fame and open-mouthed behavior time and time again has gotten him involved in feuds with other people as well as onto “greatest quote/one liner/reply of all time”-lists.
[Verse 1]
Everybody knows
But no one's saying nothing
It was a sound so very loud
But no one can hear
I got something in my shoes
It's keeping me from walking
Down the long and winding road
Back home to you
[Pre-Chorus]
And 'round this town, you ceased to be
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame for
[Chorus]
My big mouth and my big name
I put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth you could fly a plane
I put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
[Verse 2]
I ain't never spoke to God
And I ain't never been to Heaven
But you assumed I knew the way
Even though the map was given
And as you look into the eyes
Of a bloody cold assassin
It's only then you'll realize
With whose life you have been messing
[Pre-Chorus]
And now your sound's ceased to be
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
So guess who's gonna take the blame for
[Chorus]
My big mouth and my big name
I put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth, yeah, you could fly a plane
I put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
[Post-Chorus]
Slowly down the hall of fame
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
And 'round this town, you ceased to be
That's what you got for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
I guess you're gonna take the blame for
[Chorus]
My big mouth and my big name
I put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth, yeah, you could fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame
[Post-Chorus]
Slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame

Noel Gallagher to Q Magazine,
‘Into my big mouth you could fly a plane’: even I’m not interested in what I’ve got to say half the time. But, ‘I ain’t never spoke to God/I ain’t never been to heaven’, that’s about fans who think you’re on the phone to John Lennon and you have all the answers. I unde...
