Lyrics

I heard a whisper on my radio
But I paid no mind
I just sat back and I let it go
To catch the rain from a lonely waterfall
But I might beware
'Cause they could drown me like a doll

They got me running in and out of time
I feel like a Bona Fide
Keeper of the right and wrong
And I've known all along, so let me just make it clear

Everybody's gone for quick, sure fire solution
But faith in any god will only bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in a ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all

I slip my skin as the prophets reappear
But I pay no mind
I'm just trying to persevere
With the sins I have to shake from me within
Though I might beware
'Cause they're just trying to wear me thin

They got me running in and out of time
I feel like a Bona Fide
Keeper of the right and wrong
And I've known all along, but let me just make it clear

Everybody's gone for quick, sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in a ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what we've got is gonna carry us all
Carry us all

Everybody's gone for quick, sure fire solution
But faith in any god is gonna bury us all
No-one's gonna fight in a ten-bob revolution
Have faith in what you've got and it will carry us all
Carry us all
Carry us all

Notes

 

The song runs about 4 minutes and features Noel's lead vocals, with him handling most instruments on early demos from 1998 (including drums during a period without a stable drummer). It's a mid-tempo rock track with anthemic choruses, blending psychedelic elements from the album with Noel's signature melodic hooks.

Among Oasis fans, "Carry Us All" is often hailed as an underrated gem or "overlooked masterpiece" from the Giants era—praised for its soaring melody, introspective lyrics, and Noel's vulnerable vocal delivery. Many wish it had made a full album or been sung by Liam Gallagher. It hasn't been performed live (no confirmed Oasis setlists include it), but demos and studio versions circulate widely on YouTube
