“The Hindu Times” was released as the lead single off Heathen Chemistry. In 2010 it was included in the singles collection Time Flies… 1994-2009.
Noel Gallagher reportedly got the title from a t-shirt he saw in a charity shop, and had named the song before writing the lyrics. This might explain why...
[Verse 1]
I get up
When I'm down
I can't swim
But my soul won't drown
I do believe
I got flair
I got speed
And I walk on air
[Chorus]
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock and roll, babe
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock and roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain
Running through my vein
You're my sunshine
You're my rain
[Verse 2]
There's a light
That shines on
Shines on me
And it keeps me warm
It gimme peace
I must say
I can't sleep
'Cause the world won't wait
[Chorus]
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock and roll, babe
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock and roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain
Running through my vein
You're my sunshine
You're my rain
[Outro]
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
In and out my brain
Running through my vein
You're my sunshine
You're my rain

When we laid down the instrumental for The Hindu Times we went away on tour with The Black Crowes and I think it’s Gem come up with the one line. He said it’s like your favourite Oasis song ever because we were listening to it, like constantly and I didn’t have any lyrics for it and...
