#5 -- Columbia
Album: Definitley Maybe
The first Oasis magnum opus. There’s an unparalleled euphoria when you hear the first guitar chords in the opening line of Columbia. I have no idea what the song means, or even why it’s called Columbia (maybe because of their country's most notable export?), but “there we were, now here we are” says more than it possibly could have meant when Noel penned it. I’ve turned around to this song in recent years – but I really do love it. I run to it occasionally at the gym – so much energy but none of it artificial or gratuitous. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Pat (CastleCraver) has been an Oasis fan since the early days,
and couldn't be more excited about the upcoming tour. When being mad fer it isn't consuming him, he's studying away at grad
school in Cleveland, Ohio. Originally from Indianapolis, he curses the heartless twat that caused the car accident back in Summer '01
and the subsequent cancellation of three tour dates. Although he's still awaiting his fanclub tickets, he's sure you'll find him 15th row,
dead center on the floor for the MSG gig, singing/screaming his lungs out and generally being a drunken ass. His rankings reflect his opinions
alone, and constitute nothing but a fun diversion to count down the days until the gig. See you there!

MSG is so close i can taste it.
I've been trying to save all my fuel this week, but last night, I drank a ton and had to blast me oasis. I'm in tatters today, but after a weekend at the beach, I'll be fully amped for the week of. Come on, come on, come on----
LETS AV IT!!!!
Columbia's lyrics were penned by Noel with the assistance of the other band members when they took some acid... I think that was what was said on the DM DVD anyway?
I'd love to know why it's called columbia though...
I think it was after the Columbia Hotel in London where they got banned from
