Going Nowhere

Oasis · The Masterplan [1998]

I hate the way that you've taken back

Everything you've given to me

And the way that you'd always say

It's nothing to do with me

Different versions of many men

Come before you came

All their questions was similar

The answers just the same



I gonna get me a motor car

Maybe a Jaguar maybe a plane or a day of fame

I gonna be a millionaire so can you take me there

Wanna be wild cos my life's so tame

Here am I, going nowhere on a train

Here am I, growing older in the rain



I hate the way that you've taken back

Everything you've given to me

And the way that you'd always say

It's nothing to do with me

Different versions of many men

Come before you came

All their questions was similar

The answers just the same



I'm gonna get me a motor car

Maybe a Jaguar maybe a plane or a day of fame

I'm gonna be a millionaire so can you take me there

Wanna be wild cos my life's so tame

Here am I, going nowhere on a train

Here am I, growing older in the rain

Here am I, going nowhere on a train

Here am I, gettin lost and lonely, sad and only wild sometimes cos my life feels so tame

Going Nowhere

Released on Oasis's 1998 album The Masterplan, 'Going Nowhere' stands as a poignant reflection of the band's evolving sound during the late 1990s. The track features the signature melodic guitar work and lyrical themes characteristic of the Manchester band, capturing a sense of restlessness and introspection that defined their final studio recordings before their hiatus. As part of their discography, the song exemplifies the shift toward a more polished, radio-friendly production style while retaining the emotional core that made them a defining act of Britpop. It remains a notable song in their catalogue, often discussed in relation to their broader body of work from the era.
