作词 : Noel Gallagher

作曲 : Noel Gallagher

It's better people love one another

'Cause livin' your life can be tough

It's better people speak to each other

Your shame is not enough

...

If everybody came alive

And stayed alive

And lived their lives instead, yeah

So come outside

And feel the light

It's cold inside

But it's lonely in your bed

In your bed

...

And though we might be

But what you heard before

Was only sleepin' in your brain

But if you came with me

The days'd never end

Would never be the same

They'd never be the same

They'd never be the same

Never be the same

...

It's better people love one another

'Cause livin' your life can be tough

It's better people speak to each other

Your shame is not enough

...

If everybody came alive

And stayed alive

And lived their lives instead, yeah

So come outside

And feel the light

It's cold inside

But it's lonely in your bed

In your bed

...

And though we might be

But what you heard before

Is sleeping in your brain

But if you came with me

The days'd never end

Would never be the same

They'd never be the same

They'd just go by a different name

They'd never be the same

...
