The Masterplan
Oasis · The Masterplan
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 in 1998, The Masterplan serves as a comprehensive collection of B-sides, demos, and rarities from Oasis's most prolific era. The title track, a driving anthem recorded during the sessions for Definitely Maybe, captures the band's signature blend of swagger and melancholy. While the album compiles material spanning several years, the song itself stands as a testament to the Gallagher brothers' songwriting dominance during the late 1990s. It reflects the raw energy and melodic precision that defined the group's early output, offering fans a deeper look into their creative process beyond standard album tracks. The recording remains a staple in their extensive catalogue, illustrating the band's ability to craft memorable hooks even in non-album contexts.
