About Lord Don't Slow Me Down

"Lord Don't Slow Me Down" is a song by English rock band Oasis. The song was released as a download-only single on 21 October 2007 and was also released on a limited edition 12-inch single in promotion of the release of Oasis' rockumentary of the same name, Lord Don't Slow Me Down. On 29 October, the song debuted at number ten in the UK Singles Chart, becoming Oasis' 21st UK top 10. It is also their 21st top ten single in a row and the first single by Oasis not to reach the top 4 since 1994's "Cigarettes & Alcohol". The song impacted US radio on 30 October 2007. This was Oasis' first stand alone non album single since "Whatever" in 1994. In October 2006 the first part of the song was used in a preview of the band's movie. Written and sung by Noel Gallagher and recorded during the Don't Believe the Truth sessions, Gallagher described it as being "one of the best things, like The Who, The Yardbirds and the Jeff Beck Group combined, and it's got two drum solos on it!". The entire song leaked into the internet just a few days before the video was uploaded on YouTube and the song was played on the radio, on 1 October. The song was a probable track to be included on the band's 2005 album, Don't Believe the Truth, but was removed from the final track list by Noel Gallagher, as he thought he sang on too many songs on the record. In May 2008 an unreleased studio version with Liam Gallagher on lead vocals was leaked over internet fansites.

I?m tired and I?m sick
Got a habit that I just can?t kick
(I) Feel hungover and I?m all in love
When the lights go down
I?m gonna shoot ?em all/up

S?alrite
Don?t be afraid
You gotta keep dreaming in the bed you made
And if it tastes like shit
Well, it beats sleeping rough on the floor

Keep saying that my head?s locked up in the clouds
Keep praying that the lord won?t slow me down
I?m tired and I?m sick
Got a habit that I can?t, won?t lick
Feel hungover and I?m all in love
Let the lights go down
Me and you are gonna shoot em all/up

Keep saying that my head?s locked up in the clouds
Keep praying that the lord won?t slow me down
I?m tired and I?m sick
Got a habit that I just can?t kick
Feel hungover and I?m all in love
When the lights go down
Me and you are gonna shoot em all/up

Oasis

Oasis were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. Developed from an earlier group, the Rain, the band originally consisted of Liam Gallagher (lead vocals, tambourine), Paul Arthurs (guitar), Paul McGuigan (bass guitar), and Tony McCarroll (drums). Upon returning to Manchester, Liam's older brother Noel Gallagher (lead guitar, vocals) joined as a fifth member, which formed the band's core and settled line-up. During the course of their existence, they had various line-up changes, though the Gallagher brothers remained as the staple members. more »
