Don't Look Back in Anger Lyrics

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I...

   I think the line "start a revolution from my bed..." is a tribute to John Lennon...after all oasis did sample a lot of Beatles stuff

   Wikipedia has a pretty thorough description of the meaning of this song. Pretty much everyone has got it partially right... except the whiplash guy ;o)

   one of noel's finest pices of work! every line is packed with emotion and it can be interpreted in a number of ways. for me personaly it's about constructing a plan to win back the love of his life. He knows he wants her for the rest of his life ''you aint never gonna burn my heart out'' and that maybe its not too late to start again.

   This song was clearly made to raise awareness of the dangers of whiplash. Turning around quickly is always dangerous, but looking back in anger is EXTRA DANGEROUS. REPEAT. DANGER DANGER: looking back in anger may cause severe whiplass and/or accidental exorcist reenactments

   I think that this song is a breakup song. every line just sounds like the steps of a breakup especially "she knows its too late as we're walkin on by"
   this song has such an awesome tune I love it so much!

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   The song is partly a homage to John Lennon. There is an obvious similarity in the opening chords to Lennon's Imagine. The line 'so you start a revolution from your bed' can be interpreted as a reference to Lennon and Yoko Ono's Bed-in protest. However, much of the rest of the song is typical Gallagher nonsense lyrics, but of the type so open to interpretation that many people are easily touched by it. In one interview Noel said that the 'Sally' mentioned in the chorus is Sally Cinnamon from the Stone Roses song, but more likely is thast the name just fitted nicely.
