Getting Older
Oasis · Other Songs - Oasis
It's 9 oclock
i'm getting tired
i'm sick of all my records and the clothes i bought today
am i cracking up
or just getting older?
im staying in
i can't be bothered
making conversations with the friends that i don't know
am i cracking up?
or just getting older?
and i bet that this is how life turns out
when you're finally grown
and you know if this is my life
i'll sit around all day and i'll moan
i'm halfway up
to the bottom
i'm halfway up to the bottom
of another bottle
of my next best favourite friend
am i cracking up
or just getting older?
you're not cracking up
you're just getting older
we're not cracking up
we're just getting older
i'm getting tired
i'm sick of all my records and the clothes i bought today
am i cracking up
or just getting older?
im staying in
i can't be bothered
making conversations with the friends that i don't know
am i cracking up?
or just getting older?
and i bet that this is how life turns out
when you're finally grown
and you know if this is my life
i'll sit around all day and i'll moan
i'm halfway up
to the bottom
i'm halfway up to the bottom
of another bottle
of my next best favourite friend
am i cracking up
or just getting older?
you're not cracking up
you're just getting older
we're not cracking up
we're just getting older
Getting Older - Oasis
Released in 1994 on the album Definitely Maybe, "Getting Older" stands as a quintessential example of Britpop's melodic sensibility. The track features the band's signature guitar work and vocal delivery, capturing the nostalgic and reflective mood characteristic of the era. While the song did not achieve the massive commercial success of their later hits, it remains a beloved staple for fans of the group's early discography. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of shared experience and youthful longing, solidifying its place in the catalog of classic rock anthems.
