Lyrics:

Noel Gallagher sings this tune, which started as he misread “magpie” in a rhyming dictionary.
The jazzy bit at the end is played on a Mellotron, which was made for the The Beatles' Abbey Road sessions.
An extraordinary guy
Can never have an ordinary day
He might live the long goodbye
But that is not for me to say
I dig his friends, I dig his shoes
He is just a child with nothing to lose
But his mind, his mind

They are sleeping while they dream
And then they wanna be adored
They who don't say what they mean
Will live and die by their own sword
I dig their friends, I dig their shoes
They are like a child with nothing to lose
In their minds, yeah, their minds

But I'll have my way
In my own time
I'll have my say
My star will shine

'Cause you see me, I got my magic pie
Think of me, yeah, that was me
I was that passerby
I've been and now I've gone

There are but a thousand days
Preparing for a thousand years
Many minds to educate
The people who have disappeared
D'you dig my friends? D'you dig my shoes?
I am like a child with nothing to lose
In my mind, yeah, my mind

We'll have our way
In our own time
We'll have our say
'Cause my star's gon' shine

'Cause you see me, I got my magic pie
Think of me, yeah, that was me
I was that passerby
I've been and now I've gone

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ah


You see me, I got my magic pie
Think of me, yeah, that was me
I was that passerby (Passerby)
Think of me, I got my magic pie
Think of me, yeah, that was me
I was that passerby
I've been and now I've gone

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ah

Shut up!
(Ah, okay)
