Lyrics
Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I’m singing
Touchdown base living on the run
Make no sweat at the hole that you’re digging
Wrap up cold when it’s warm outside
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy’s
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capital city in the sun
Kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from ‘Let It Be’
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside
So wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I’m singing
Touchdown base living on the run
Make no sweat at the hole that you’re digging
Kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from ‘Let It Be’
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside, inside
Get a grip inside
Get a grip inside
So wrap up cold when it’s warm outside
Please sit down you make me feel giddy
Be my magic carpet ride
Follow me down to capital city
Been kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from ‘Let It Be’
Open up your eyes get a grip on yourself inside
Get a grip inside
Get a grip inside
Get a grip inside
Get a grip inside

Notes
"Be Here Now" is a powerful track from Oasis's third studio album, *Be Here Now* (1997). Written by Noel Gallagher, the song captures the anthemic, larger-than-life sound that characterizes much of the album. It features driving guitar riffs, repeated choruses, and Noel's signature lyrics that call for presence and awareness in the moment. The song, along with the rest of the album, represents the band's peak in the Britpop movement of the late 1990s.
