Description

Early handwritten lyrics for Oasis's debut single, "Supersonic"

Rare partial handwritten lyrics to the Oasis song "Supersonic," unsigned, penned in black ballpoint by Noel Gallagher on an off-white 8 x 8.5 notebook sheet with missing lower portion. The lyrics, in full: "I need to be myself / I cant be no one else / Im feeling supersonic / Give me gin n tonic / You can have it all but how much do you want it / You make me laugh / Give me your autograph / Can I ride with you in your BMW / You can sail with me in your yellow submarine / You need to find out cause no ones gonna tell you / what Im on about / You need to find a way for what you want to say / but before tomorrow / cause my friend said he'd take you home / he sits in a corner all alone / he lives under a waterfall / nobody can see him / nobody can ever hear him call, nobody can ever hear him call / you need to be yourself, you can't be no one else / I know a girl called Elsa, shes into Alka Seltzer / she sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train / and she makes me laugh, I got her autogr… / she done it with a…” In very good condition, with heavy overall creasing, and a tear touching the second stanza.

Accompanied by a letter of provenance, which reads, in. part: "I certify that this handwritten lyric to the track Supersonic was written by Noel Gallagher and obtained from the recording sessions for the album Definitely Maybe which was released in 1994. The recording sessions took place at Valley Studios in Wales. I cannot confirm whether it was written by Noel in the studio or [brought] in prior to the recording and rehearsals however I personally obtained the sheet from the studio in 1993 along with other items including broken guitar pedals, studio notes and strings that were used and discarded by the band members at the time." The song was released as Oasis's debut single on April 11, 1994, and appeared on their first album, Definitely Maybe, which came out later that summer.
