You didn't know what to say
It all came at you today
Can't get out your own way
Well hold on, hold on, hold on.

I'm hiding out in the sun
I'm getting everyone done
Just me hating no one
Here I come, here I come, here I come

Just call me the roller
I'll squeeze and unfold ya
Call me the roller
I just go to show ya

So you been crawling through a maze
An alcohol lemon haze
I've been watching you for days
You've been outta sight alright, alright, alright

I'll take you somewhere you never knew you'd been
I'll give you something you never knew you'd feel
The only thing is, everything is really tonight, tonight, tonight

Just call me the roller
I'll squeeze and unfold ya
Call me the roller
I just go to show ya

Just call me the roller
I'll come blow you over
Call me the roller
I'm pleased that I know ya

I'll take you somewhere you never knew you'd been
I'll give you something you never knew you'd feel
The only thing is everything is really tonight, tonight, tonight

Just call me the roller
I'll squeeze and unfold ya
Call me the roller
I just go to show ya

Beady Eye

Beady Eye are an English rock band formed in 2009. The band consists of vocalist Liam Gallagher and guitarists Gem Archer and Andy Bell, all former members of Oasis, rounded by drummer and percussionist Chris Sharrock who substituted for Oasis during their last tour in 2008/2009, before Oasis broke up after chief songwriter and lead guitarist Noel Gallagher quit acrimoniously in August 2009. The remaining members gathered on and decided that they "will not quit making music together" and so they formed the band Beady Eye. more »
