i remember this song...

Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger
Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd once never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away
So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait,
She knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away,
But don't look back in anger I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away
So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait,
she knows it's to late as she's walkin' on by
My soul slides away,
But donn't look back in anger I heard you say

So Sally can wait,
She knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away,
But don't look back in anger I heard you say

So Sally can wait,
She knows its too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away,
But don't look back in anger I heard you say

Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
At least not today

... i remember this song. this was quite popular when i was in college. oasis was the "beatles" of our generation (or, so they said...). and "he" would sing it over and over until it bacame so grating, i would politely ask "him" to just cut it out... i remember this song. and i refer to "him" like some god. he is not. @ the time he could've been. i stood by "his" commandments and rules, so close to monk-like devotion... i wish he could be in front of me, right now, and i would say to him: "you are not god. i was never your girlfriend. i felt like a prisoner and i will always remember the day you broke up with me. my spirit was crushed. i died, but then, was reborn... i became a godess to, you know..." but i will never find "him" again... and maybe it had to be good enough... but i wish, i wish, he could've seen the transformation... because really, i will always be, the girl he left behind as he sings over and over -- "don't look back in anger" @ me. and i haven't, looked back in anger... just relief... and a wave goodbye to the little bass notes that keep running around in circles in my head... goodbye.
