Oasis are back.
‘Little By Little’, news started to come through on Friday, 23 August that the Britpop juggernaut was reuniting. With hoaxes, scams and AI deep fakes now rampant, it’s safer that you ‘Don’t Believe The Truth’ until it’s proven beyond doubt. But, it was confirmed on Tuesday, 27 August that this was no hoax and fans ‘All Around The World’ tore their mods out in excitement.
Liam and Noel Gallagher have put their 15-year ‘Wibbling Rivalry’ aside to ‘Acquiesce’ to multiple dates in the UK and Ireland. Until then, The Beatles seemed more likely to ‘Come Together’ than The Big O.
‘Some Might Say’ it’s a cash grab by the Mancunian maniacs. Others will say the split, squabbles and cheap shots were all part of a ‘Masterplan’ from the beginning. But whether Liam and Noel have truly reconciled or this is all to bulk up the pension fund, just ‘Roll With It’.
In honour of the band’s reform, we’ve employed ChatGPT to write a song about Mullingar in the style of Oasis. The iconic rockers were accused of producing formulaic songwriting in the ‘90s long before AI, so it’s a fitting way to get the ball rolling now they’ve reunited. This one is dedicated to all the squabbling siblings in Mullingar.
Topic is proud to present, ‘Champagne Dreams In Mullingar’.
Verse 1
In the town where the rivers meet,
The streets of Mullingar,
Underneath the endless sky,
We chased our dreams so far,
In the heart of the Midlands,
Where the nights are never long,
We were kings without a crown,
And every night felt like a song.
Chorus
And we’ll be singing, “Oh, Mullingar,
Where the lights are never fading,
In the bars and the streets,
We were lost but never waiting.
Oh, Mullingar, you’re the fire in our soul,
You’re the dreams that we stole,
You’re the nights that made us whole.”
Verse 2
In the pubs with the pints in hand,
We laughed ’til we were sore,
Talking ’bout the plans we’d make,
Like we never had before,
In the echoes of the laughter,
In the whispers of the rain,
We found a love that never ends,
In the beauty and the pain.
Chorus
And we’ll be singing, “Oh, Mullingar,
Where the lights are never fading,
In the bars and the streets,
We were lost but never waiting.
Oh, Mullingar, you’re the fire in our soul,
You’re the dreams that we stole,
You’re the nights that made us whole.”
Bridge
So take me back to the river,
Where the water runs so deep,
To the place where I remember,
All the promises we keep,
And in the morning, when the sun’s up high,
We’ll be standing side by side,
In Mullingar, we’ll never die,
We’ll keep this spirit alive.
Chorus
And we’ll be singing, “Oh, Mullingar,
Where the lights are never fading,
In the bars and the streets,
We were lost but never waiting.
Oh, Mullingar, you’re the fire in our soul,
You’re the dreams that we stole,
You’re the nights that made us whole.”
Outro
Oh, Mullingar, you’re the fire in our soul,
You’re the dreams that we stole,
You’re the nights that made us whole.
In Mullingar, we found our role,
And in our hearts, you’ll always glow.
Oasis are back, so ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’, grab your ‘Cigarettes And Alcohol’ and ‘Bring It On Down’ to Croke Park where you can ‘Slide Away’ into a ‘Champagne Supernova’ to get a taste of what it feels like to ‘Live Forever’.
It’s gonna be biblical. C’mon y’know.
