I get up when I'm down
I can't swim but my soul won't drown
I do believe I got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'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
You're runnin' through my vein
You're my sunshine 
You're my rain

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

'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'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
You're runnin' through my vein
You're my sunshine 
You're my rain

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
You're runnin' through my vein
You're my sunshine 
You're my rain

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.
