Lyrics Half The World Away

Half the World Away is a song by the English band Oasis, penned by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. The song was originally released as a B-side to the single Whatever in December 1994. It became widely known as the theme tune for the British television series The Royle Family. The songs lyrics reflect feelings of alienation and a longing to escape. 

I would like to leave this city, this old town don't smell too pretty
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
Cos' I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very o--old
So what do you say you can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
Half the world away half the world away half the world away
I've been lost i've been found but I dont feel down
And when I leave this planet, you know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit, I'll find me a hole and I'll live in it
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very o--old
So what do you say you can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
Half the world away half the world away half the world away
I've been lost i've been found but I dont feel down
No I don't feel down
No I don't feel down
No I don't feel down

I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
I don't feel down
