Lyrics for Morning Glory as interpreted by kevin

Morning Glory Lyrics
(song begins with helicopter sound FX)
(radio conversation between a man and a woman mumbled in the
background, but I can't understand what they're saying)
(FX and radio fade out to background music, then the lyrics begin)

All your dreams are made
When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favorite tune
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to rest your mind
You know you should so I guess you might as well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
You need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
Need a little time to wake up wake up
(guitar solo)
All your dreams are made
When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade
Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favorite tune
Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to rest your mind
You know you should so I guess you might as well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
You need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
Well
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Well
What's the story morning glory?
(I said) well
Need a little time to wake up wake up
(yet another guitar solo)
(back to helicopter sound FX)
(more mumbled radio conversation, then song ends)

All of you go listen to some crappy emo music, it's clearly about drugs, deal with it.

For fuck's sake.

(And yes I know it can be interpreted in different ways. If I ever get round to making the movie I'm writing - unlikely - this song will be used in the context of self-harm, drinking too much and general depression. So yes I can see many different ways it can be interpreted, but it's about cocaine.)

I agree with the drug refefence but dnt 4get the '(Tomorrow never knows) what it doesn't know too soon' beatles song off revolver album. the song is well postioned on the album WTSMG a couple of lighter numbers shes electric and cast no shadow then blows you away with a rocking jimi hendrix helter skelter cross of what's the story then end on a ballad of Champagne Supernova that makes let it be look like child play.

How about the reference to "Sunny Afternoon" by the Kinks, another drug-related song? Just more evidence the influence of drugs on the band. Great song tho...

its about the years where you dont really know whats going on and everything goes fast and you need time to digest it (time to wake up..)
its about growing up (shaving)
its about enjoying life and just going with the flow

All your dreams are made
When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade
-everything is out of your control when you're chained and can't escape from "the mirror and the razor blade," which refers to doing a line of cocaine

Today's the day that all the world will see
-you can't hide it anymore, everyone knows

Another sunny afternoon
Walking to the sound of my favorite tune
-let's say the favorite tune is "high", walking around high

Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon
-you're clueless if you don't find out while you're ahead

Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to wake up wake up
Need a little time to wake up
Need a little time to rest your mind
-you need to take some time to realize, you need to take some time to sober up and think

You know you should so I guess you might as well
-you know you need to overcome your addiction, so you get started on it
What's the story morning glory?
whats new? the begining of something magnificent

A Morning Glory is also a flower that last for one evening(usually) and then dies. Why can't the drugs be the guys "blooming"? The drugs get them through the day and then they wake up a new flower in the morning. "Today's the day that all the world will see
Another sunny afternoon Walking to the sound of my favorite tune Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon" I take those lyrics as just going out into the world, not knowing what is going to happen.

"tomorrow never knows" is a beatles allusion

I think that this song's a metaphor of drugs. Like, Morning Glory IS a drug. Since it has the word morning in it, Noel probably thought of a metaphor for drugs.

I dunno. I'm probably just thinking stupid things. But from what I'm reading from everyone's thought of the song's meaning, I've realized it's about drugs, and Liam and Noel had actually been drug addicts.

So anyways, anyone wanna correct me at that?

Completely personifies the Oasis sound of the 90's. This song, I think doesnt really have a particular meaning but not all songs have to have a meaning. Not my favourite from the Morning Glory album but I still like it as I do with all Oasis songs.

One song can have a thousand meanings, that's what makes them special.. they mean something different to everyone right? but well i actually agree with "lindseelewis" i think. The song is obviously about drugs but it might be about how you are "chained" to them and it's better to stop. It's true that Noel has been an addict, but it's also true that he has said before that eventhough he used them and he enjoyed every minute of it, if he could go back maybe he wouldn't do it because he knows that they are addictive and he doesn't like to depend on anything. He also says that he knows that drugs "at the end destroy" so i guess that he could be talking about leaving them.

Battling to come out of an addicition (not necessiarily a drug) or a depression?

Todays the day that all the world will see -
This line really sums up the song to me, the whole process of coming out of this bad headspace is too show the fuckers who don't believe you can do it. Showing the whole world your a stronger / better person than your friends or family or girlfriend etc. think you are.

Tomorrow never knows what it doesnt know too soon -
The next day is never going to be what you expect, you could come out of the state of mind or go back.

Need a little time to wake up -
Recognizing whats going on, need some time to yourself / some peace of mind.

Whats the story Morning Glory? -
You've batteld those demons, time for a new start. Whats the next? Whats the story?!

Thats my two cents about it. My favourite Oasis song ever I think, closely tied with Slide Away, Listen Up & Headshrinker
