Lyrics
Who will rise ?
It would be so nice to hear you say
"Thank you for the good times"
Before the good times fly away
Your eyes
Are telling lies
Some of the stories on the way
But it's so nice
But don't let the good times fly away
I drink to every sucker standing here
Among the few who try and cheat the years
There's always one of us who's blown away
Or strapped and stopped for breath along the way
Who will rise?
It would be so nice to hear you say
"Thank you for the good times"
Before the good times fly away
I drink to every sucker standing here
Among the few who try and cheat the years
There's always one of us who's blown away
Or stopped and strapped for cash along the way
Who will rise?
It would be so nice to hear you say
"Thank you for the good times"
Before the good times fly away
Thank you for the good times
Before the good times fly away
Thank you for the good times
Before the good times fly away

Notes
"Thank You for the Good Times" is a rock song by the English band Oasis, written by bassist Andy Bell. It was released as a B-side to their single "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" from the fifth studio album Heathen Chemistry, on June 17, 2002, via Big Brother Recordings. The track runs for 4 minutes and 32 seconds, produced by the band, and features an uplifting, melodic sound with Liam Gallagher on vocals.
The song's lyrics express themes of gratitude and reflection on positive moments amid challenges, with lines like "Who will rise? / It would be so nice to hear you say / 'Thank you for the good times' / Before the good times fly away." Bell reportedly wrote it as an appreciation message to fans who supported him during a difficult divorce.
The intro has been noted for similarities to David Bowie's "Heroes" or Oasis's own "Some Might Say," contributing to its feel-good vibe.
