  • Remember what might have been
    Had I walked you home and said, "I'll see you later"
    You were living the dream
    But when the morning come, you'd gone to meet your maker
    Good luck in the afterlife
    I hear the morning sun doesn't cast no shadow
    You chose to drift away
    But look at you now

    We're on our way now
    The truth can be so hard to swallow
    Hey now
    'Cause you got the love, you got the love, lady
    I'm worn out
    'Cause with every little trick, they try to drag you down
    You don't know why

    Stood on top of the world
    And when the cold wind blow, you say the chill don't matter
    Having the time of your life
    But when you take those pills, does it make it better?
    Good luck in the afterlife
    I hear the morning sun doesn't cast no shadow
    You chose to drift away
    But look at you now

    We're on our way now
    The truth can be so hard to swallow
    Hey now
    'Cause you got the love, you got the love, lady
    I'm worn out
    'Cause with every little trick, they try to drag you down
    You don't know why

    We're on our way now
    The truth can be so hard to swallow
    Hey now
    'Cause you got the love, you got the love, lady
    I'm worn out
    'Cause with every little trick, they try to drag you down
    You don't know why

    'Cause you got the love, you got the love, lady
    You got the love, you got the love, lady Writer/s: Noel Gallagher

  • Rainie from Auckland NzWe first listened on the Jonathan Ross show and both shared our amazement at such amazing lyrics voice and backing, a very moving song.
    Now he's in his afterlife when I play this he's beside me. Thanks Noel.
  • Ros M from DumfriesThis track touches my soul. The meaning/lyrics/, arrangement and main/backing vocals are genius. Respect Noel.
  • D17 from UkFirst time hearing 'good luck in the afterlife......'
    I was hooked
  • Just A Guy from UsaAt first I was not feeling this song. Then I listened to it several times and read the lyrics, and I really think it is a beautiful song. These may be some of Noel’s best lyrics as of late. Quite sentimental and sad. Really great writing.
