Send "Round Are Way" Ringtone to Cell

The paper boy is working before he goes
Lying to the teacher he knows he knows
He didn't and he should've
Brought his lines in yesterday
Ernie bangs the sound and the day begins
The letterbox is open and your cash falls in
I'll meet you at the office
Just before the staff clock in

Round are way the birds are singing
Round are way the sun shines bright
Round are way the birds sing for yer
The already know yer

The game is kicking off in around the park
It's twenty five a side and before it's dark
There's gonna be a loser
And you know the next goal wins
Cab it to the front as it's called a draw
Everybody's knockin at yours once more
Ernie bangs the sound
And no one's spoken since half past four

Round are way the birds are singing
Round are way the sun shines bright
Round are way the birds are minging
Round are way it's alright
Round are way the birds sing for you
'cause the already know yer
They already know yer

    General Comment:I love Round Are Way so much, one of my absolute favourite Oasis songs, so upbeat and, well, mad for it (yeah I still say that, how very sad!) I think one of the reasons I love it so much is it reminds me of a mate of mine, we used to write this thing called Round Are Way, guess you could call it fanfiction, but it was me and her hanging out with Oasis, The Beatles and a bunch of others, and various weird stuff happened... yeah I know that sounds really sad, but we used to have loads of fun doing it. I've often wondered who Ernie is/was.

    General Comment:the song is obviously about manchester, specifically where noel grew up and his view of how it was like to be there. "round are way" - round our way. (mancunians pronounce "our" like "are" and sometimes even spell it that way.) "bird" is slang for female, "minging" is gross - so i bet the line "round are way the birds are minging" is even funnier to you the next time you listen to this song - if you didn't know this already of course.

    General Comment:Things are looking up for this person. I think its the same person throughout the whole song. He's a boy at the start, neglecting schoolwork (bad luck or whatever so you'd think he was unfortunate) then he's a man at his job. His team is losing but they manage to tie with the other team so things are turning out in his favor...I dunno about this one. Its wicked catchy too.

    General Comment:This was actually my favourite song off the wonderwall single, which was the first cd I purchased myself. So upbeat and sugary, yet not to the point where you write it off because the tune is just so catchy. Why wasn't it on whats the story?? Good thing they did it on MTV unplugged :)
