Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a past not far away
She's a little pirate in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kind of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

    General Comment:oh yeah and by "she's not anyone", he definitely means "she's not JUST anyone" as in she is "SOMEONE", like said above.

    General Comment:i have never been so jealous of anyone in my life than i am of nicole appleton. That's really interesting, about Chris Martin. And, Mark In Times, no one has seen your point of view, because the meaning is already known.. it's about appleton. oh yeah and of course it's pilot and not pirate.

    General Comment:My now ex-boyfriend won me over by singing this to me, saying that I was his song-writing inspiration. We ended on good terms so it's not like I've boycotted the song, and I always love hearing it because it's like, my own little song ;).

    General Comment:My favourite song. Purely beautiful. I'm surprised no one has understood the way I did. I don't think it is about a girl (it does say she's not anyone) - if it did it beauty in my mind would be lessoned. I think it is about himself - the part of himself that creates songs. His songbird. I hope you understand what I'm getting at. The whole lyric is an extended metaphor. The song is a reapyment to his 'songbird'.

    General Comment:My favourite Oasis track =) he might have made it in a few minutes about nothing in particular but that makes it sound almost improvised, like he's singing it just to you XD love it!

    General Comment:Liam Gallagher has a heart!! And this song proves it! So short, I wish that little guitar would keep playing forever... But it's so poignant and it's something you'd never expect to come out of the lips of the man who created (well helped to) Be Here Now...
    A brilliant song indeed! So sweet!
