Champagne Supernova
By: Oasis

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they’re
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world’s still spinning round
We don’t know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Cos people believe that they’re
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world’s still spinning round
We don’t know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high
We were getting high

    “Champagne Supernova” comes from a George Harrison song.

    every song has room for personal interpretation. to me this song talk of losing somebody. somebody dying. what they miss out on now they are not here, and what those that are left feel…

    i don’t know what the song is about but i know a champagne supernova is when you fill a bong with champagne instead of water…

    I think it is about death and friendship.

    I think it’s about a bloke who’s girl left him because he was on drugs.

    It has got to say something to you. it’s like in the movie “white men can’t jump” when Snipes says to Harrelson that he just doesn’t hear Jimmy Hendrix. If the song has no meaning to you then don’t sweat it, you may not have the deep thinking at the moment that it entails for your brain to unserstand it. This song has real real heavy meaning to me but I can’t get into here
