The Masterplan
Oasis · Stop The Clocks [2006]
of what you want to say
and cast your words away upon the waves
and sail them home with acquiesce
on a ship of hope today
and as they land upon the shore
tell them not to fear no more
say it loud, and sing it proud today
and then dance if you wanna dance
please brother take a chance
you know they're gonna go
which way they wanna go
all we know is that we don't
know how it's gonna be
please brother let it be
life on the other hand
won't make us understand
we're all part of the masterplan
say it loud and sing it proud today
i'm not saying right is wrong
it's up to us to make
the best of all the things
that come our way
'cos everything that's been has passed
the answer's in the looking glass
there's four and twenty million doors
On life's endless corridor
say it loud and sing it proud today
we'll dance if they wanna dance
please brother take a chance
you know they're gonna go
which way they wanna go
all we know is that we don't
know how it's gonna be
please brother let it be
life on the other hand
won't make you understand
we're all part of the masterplan
ooooooohhhhh
ooooooohhhhh
The Masterplan
Released on the 2006 compilation album Stop The Clocks, Oasis' 'The Masterplan' stands as a quintessential example of the band's mid-to-late era sound. Featuring the signature blend of Noel Gallagher's melodic guitar work and Liam Gallagher's driving vocals, the track encapsulates the Britpop revival's enduring energy while reflecting the group's evolving musical maturity. As part of a collection of rare and unreleased material, this recording highlights the band's ability to craft anthemic pop-rock that resonates across generations. The song serves as a testament to Oasis' catalog, showcasing their skill in balancing catchy hooks with the raw intensity that defined their career, particularly during the period following their major studio releases.
