Rock 'n' Roll Star
Oasis · Definitely Maybe
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and I drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me
I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and I drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
YouÂ’re not down with who I am
Look at you now youÂ’re all in my hands tonight
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
It’s just rock ‘n’ roll
Rock 'n' Roll Star
Released on the seminal 1994 album Definitely Maybe, 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' stands as a defining track in Oasis's early catalog. The song captures the band's signature blend of melodic pop sensibilities and gritty rock energy, featuring the iconic 'Hey! Hey! Hey!' chorus that became a staple of their live performances. Written by Liam Gallagher and Paul Arthurs, the recording reflects the Manchester sound of the mid-90s, characterized by driving rhythms and anthemic vocals. It served as a crucial bridge in their discography, showcasing the group's ability to craft both intimate ballads and high-energy rockers before their later commercial peak. The track remains a cultural touchstone for fans of Britpop and remains widely recognized for its enduring appeal in live settings.
