Wonderwall Lyrics.
Verse 1
Today is gonna be the day, that they’re gonna throw it back to you.
By now you should’ve somehow realised what you gotta do.
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now.
Backbeat the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out.
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt.
I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now.
Bridge 1
And all the roads we have to walk are winding.
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding.
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how.
Chorus 1
Because maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me.
And after all you’re my wonderwall.
Verse 2
Today was gonna be the day but they’ll never throw it back to you.
By now you should’ve somehow realised what you’re not to do.
I don’t believe that anybody, feels the way I do about you now
Bridge 2
And all the roads that lead you there were winding.
And all the lights that light the way are blinding.
There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don’t know how.
Chorus 2
I said maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me.
And after all you’re my wonderwall.
I said maybe (I said maybe).
You’re gonna be the one that saves me.
And after all, you’re my wonderwall.
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You’re gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)

Andy Starkey noticed something a little odd while scrolling through YouTube. He realised that since its release in 1994 no one had ever recorded a studio version of Digsys Dinner Oasis cover version video. Have a look for yourself, there really isn’t one. There are a few live versions by Oasis tribute bands and Oasis wedding bands. Also there are some Britpop acoustic versions but all of them are solo live covers. So as you’ll find no band has ever properly recorded Digsy’s Dinner as a full band in a studio and then shot a music video for it. Therefore Britpop Reunion the UK’s best Britpop & 90s tribute band meticulously recorded the audio and then shot the video you can watch below. Contact Andy Starkey from Britpop Reunion to hire a 90’s band and check on price and availability.
What album is Digsys Dinner Oasis Cover from?
Digsy’s Dinner is track number 9 from the Oasis debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’. Released in 1994 Definitely Maybe changed British musical history as a part of the 90’s Britpop movement. With over 8 million worldwide sales it is usually overshadowed by the stellar follow up album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory which has over 22 million sales. But D.M. had all the unpolished glory of what was the beginning or “Noel Rock” with fantastic singles and all their equally as good B-sides. This is where the wall of guitars sound first started.
Digsy Peter Deary
Who is Digsy from the song Digsy’s Dinner by Oasis?
Digsy’s real name is Peter Deary and he is a long time friend of Noel Gallagher. He is a Liverpudlian musician who during the 1990’s released four singles with his band Smaller. ‘God I Hate This Town’ , ‘Stray Dogs and Bin Bags’ and ‘Wasted’. Smaller’s fourth single ‘Is’ actually featured Noel Gallagher on guitar. An album entitled ‘Badly Badly’ was released in 1997 and a second album was recorded but never released. Peter Deary currently performs with his band The Sums and is often interviewed for Brit pop tv programs and podcasts.
Digsys Dinner Oasis Cover Version Video
What was the inspiration for Digsy’s Dinner?
According to Noel himself he was round at Peter ‘Digsy’ Deary’s house one day (Off their kegs) bashing around on the drums with Digsy singing crazily “Guess what I had for my tea, guess what I had for my tea. It was lasagne…..it was lasagne”. Noel went away and wrote a tune with the words “Lasagne” in asking Peter if it was OK for him to call it “Digsy’s Dinner”. Peter agreed “Go on son”. Later Peter regretted this stating it was “The worst song Oasis has ever written, I f*cking hate it with a vengeance.”
Digsy loathed it so much that he wrote a song in retaliation called “Noels Nose”. Although Peter Deary does say that this song has gotten him drunk for free on many occasions. Due to the fact that people want to buy him rounds of drinks because his name is featured in the song title. What a nice night out eh 🙂
What is Digsy like as a person?
Owen Morris was told that “Meeting Digsy is like opening a bag of monkeys”. Upon meeting him he agreed “and thats exactly what he’s like” Owen said. Whereas Noel Gallagher describes him as a “Funny, funny fella”.
Funny note: Digsy states that he “F*ckin hates the meal” (Lasagne).
Digsy’s Dinner by Oasis cover version
Re-recording Digsys Dinner Oasis cover version.
Being the perfectionist that Britpop musician Andy Starkey is he first sat down and tried to work out every single instrument being played on the original. The bare minimum instruments are:
Lead vocal.
Electric guitar chords.
Electric guitar picking parts.
Acoustic guitar chords.
Bass guitar.
Drums – Kick, snare, hi-hats, high tom, low tom, ride and two crashes.
Piano / Fender Rhodes.
Tambourine.
General notes for tracking Digsys Dinner Oasis Cover
Although its states on the liner notes that Noel Gallagher sings backing vocals on the original they can’t be heard. Each guitar part would have been multi tracked recorded by Noel and Bonehead so our cover version’s guitar parts were recorded three times with different guitars and slightly different tones to achieve the Oasis Guitar Wall Of Sound too. Also vocals were recorded in three separate takes to add extra depth to them. On the original, Bonehead’s solo was played either on a honky tonk style piano or a Fender Rhodes….or both. So it was recorded the same on our cover version too. The drum part is pretty easy to play with the same drum fill being performed throughout the song. Bass guitar was recorded with a 1994 Fender Precision and tambourine was recorded with a mid 90’s Liam Gallagher esque half moon tambourine.
Lyric notes:
The lyrics are pretty easy to remember as there are only two verses and one bridge section that are then just repeated again later on (Apart from the additional phrase “I Said”). This is true to form for Noel Gallagher lyrical writing style.
Guitar notes:
Noel Gallagher’s picked guitar parts were particularly hard to work out as they are buried so deep in the original mix. Andy and the members of Britpop Reunion spent a long time going through live versions and Oasis Demo’s from the mid 90’s on YouTube trying to work them out perfectly. But they just about managed it in the end as you’ll hear in our cover version.
Mixing notes:
The ‘Definitely Maybe’ version of Digsy’s Dinner really has a very poor mix. Don’t get us wrong it has a lot of life and fun in it, but it really is just a mush of noise. The demo version differs quite a bit with a lot more separation. This is no doubt due to that fact that there aren’t as many layered guitar parts. Britpop Reunion‘s cover version was mixed by expert sound engineer and friend of the band Russ Hollinshead. We decided to go for a modern style mix but still keeping some of the Oasis Wall Of Guitar sound and Noel Rock vibes.
Further musings
The piano played by Bonehead (In the solo) is quite possibly being played all the way through Digsy’s Dinner as you can hear it again slightly once the song finishes plonking a few notes. You’d never know either way though due to where it sits in the mix behind all the many, many guitar parts.
Digsy’s Diner
The Video Digsys Dinner Oasis Cover Version
Andy shot the video in and around Southampton and an a ferry to the Isle Of Wight. There was no budget so he just used camera gear he already owned. The video for the cover version was shot on a Canon 200D and utilised a Ronin S gimbal. Andy is seen playing his Oasis esque Epiphone EJ-200SCE acoustic guitar which is similar to Noel Gallagher’s Gibson J-150.
Band members performing on the original Digsy’s Dinner include:
Liam Gallagher – Lead vocals, tambourine.
Noel Gallagher – Lead guitar, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar.
Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs – Rhythm guitar, piano, Fender Rhodes.
Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan – Bass guitar.
Tony McCarroll – Drums.
Producer Owen Morris at Clear Studios in Manchester, England

Lyrics to Digsys Dinner by Oasis
What a life it would be,
If you could come to mine for tea.
I’ll pick you up at half past three,
We’ll have lasagne.
I’ll treat you like you’re a Queen,
I’ll give you strawberries and cream.
Then your friends will all go green,
For my lasagne.
These could be the best days of our lives.
But I don’t think we’ve been living very wise.
Oh no! No!
What a life it would be,
If you could come to mine for tea,
I’ll pick you up at half past three,
We’ll have lasagne.
Solo
These could be the best days of our lives,
But I don’t think we’ve been living very wise,
I said oh no! No!
What a life it would be,
If you could come to mine for tea,
I’ll pick you up at half past three,
We’ll have lasagne.
I’ll treat you like you’re a Queen,
I’ll give you strawberries and cream,
Then your friends will all go green, Then your friends will all go green,
Then your friends will all go green,
For my lasagne
How to play Digsy’s Dinner on acoustic guitar video by Andy Starkey
A part of Andy Starkey’s HOW TO video series teaching you hot to play guitar, here is how to play Digsy’s Dinner on acoustic guitar.
Further musings about Digsy’s Diner:
For many years Noel always got annoyed that people in USA and Canada would request he played ‘Digsy’s Diner” (Missing a letter ‘N’ and thus making it place you would sit down eat meals at). But many years later it was pointed out to him that the North American release of Definitely Maybe has the misspelling of Digsy’s Diner. So this is why fans from this part of the world have always pronounced it “Wrongly”.
Digsys Diner spelt wrongly on North American release of Definitely Maybe by Oasis
If you’re looking to book a professional Pulp tribute band then I’m afraid you’re out of luck. Because such a Pulp cover band doesn’t exist. Not to worry though. In 2014 something changed when ‘Britpop Reunion‘ formed and we’re the next best thing. We’ll play some of Pulp’s biggest hits at your festival, wedding, birthday party, corporate event or party. As well as Pulp’s songs we’ll also play the biggest Britpop & 90s hits for you and all your guests. Book a Different Class of tribute band for your event when you hire our Pulp band. Contact a Pulp tribute band to check on price and availability. Even though it’s great news that Pulp have reformed are touring in 2023 the tickets are very expensive and they’re probably not playing live anywhere near you. So Britpop Reunion are here for you with all their classics.
As your Pulp tribute band we’ll perform:
Common People released May 1995 which reached No 2 in the UK singles charts.
Disco 2000 released November 1995 and reaching (Very unfairly only) no 7 in the UK charts
Both of these Pulp singles come from Pulp’s chart topping 1995 album ‘Different Class‘ written by Jarvis Cocker, Russell Senior, Steve Mackey, Nick Banks, Candida Doyle and Mark Webber. Have we missed your favourite song by Pulp? Let us know when you contact us and you never know your luck we may even perform it live for you.
Can any other band pull off Common People to a small private festival crowd like we did below? We think not.
Britpop singer Andy Starkey is a massive Jarvis Cocker and Pulp fan and always has been. Andy owns a replica suit of Jarvis Cocker’s featured in the video to ‘Common People‘ which he’ll wear on stage at your event. Bride Natalie is a huge Jarvis Cocker & Pulp fan too which was exactly why she hired ‘Britpop Reunion‘ as her Britpop wedding reception band. “It was literally like having Pulp perform at my wedding” was what she said in her review of us below. Watch Natalie and her husband as they join us on stage. Natalie even made a dance routine up on the spot for Disco 2000. She thought we were the world’s number 1 tribute to Pulp.
Pulp Wedding Band
Although Pulp started in the late 1970’s (Then called ‘Arabicus’) they finally reached commercial success during the nineteen nineties. Writing and Performing amazing songs such as Babies, Do You Remember the First Time and Razzmatazz from the album His ‘n’ Hers. Also Brit pop songs like Lipgloss, Mis-Shapes, Something Changed and Sorted for E’s & Wizz.
Disco 2000 lyrics:
“Let’s all meet up in the year 2000.
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown?
Be there 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road.
I never knew that you’d get married.
I would be living down here on my own.
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.”
Jarvis Cocker Tribute Band
Common People lyrics:
“Sing along with the common people,
Sing along and it might just get you through,
Laugh along with the common people,
Laugh along even though they’re laughing at you,
And the stupid things that you do,
Because you think that poor is cool.”

Britpop Reunion perform many songs by Oasis from their nineties repertoire including Roll With It, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall, Cigarettes & Alcohol and more. To book a Britpop tribute band for a 90’s party contact Andy for more information on price and availability to hire.
Married With Children Oasis Cover Version Video
The lyrics to Married With Children were somewhat inspired by Louise Jones, who was Noel Gallagher’s girlfriend at the time . She was constantly being kept awake by the Oasis songwriter while he was writing songs and practicing his guitar. Louise would get annoyed telling Noel, “You’re music’s shite.” Gallagher said that he had to keep those lines and wrote them into this song. Those must have been fun times in their household in the nineteen nineties eh.
The song was also inspired by the USA sitcom “Married… with Children”. Noel Gallagher told nineties music paper Melody Maker “I looked at them two in the show (Al Bundy & Peggy Bundy), and looked at us two, and I thought, that’s us, that is!” (i.e. he, Noel Gallagher and his girlfriend Louise Jones). Furthermore he said “It’s another song that anybody could relate to, because if you live with a girlfriend or just a flatmate, there are always petty things that you hate about them. And this song’s just about pettiness”. Yeah, isn’t that right eh.
Married With Children Oasis Cover Version Video Acoustic Britpop Tribute Band
Further musings about the Oasis song Married With Children.
This original of this very acoustic sounding song is actually ever so slightly out of tune from regular 440Hz tuning. This suggests it was probably slowed down slightly after recording. Married With Children was an album only track and was never released as a single. Andy’s Married With Children Oasis cover version stays close to the original but has the guitar solo section removed as he preformed it solo. It would have sounded empty without another guitar strumming chords under a solo otherwise.
Noel Gallagher is known for borrowing/plagiarising other artists songs. If you listen to Lithium by Nirvana (From their 1991 sophomore album ‘Nevermind’) you’ll notice it has very similar chords played with a similar rhythm.
The final song was supposedly recorded in about half an hour on a broken Four-Track multitrack recorder in producer/engineer Mark Coyle’s bedroom.
The very dry sounding guitar part was played by Noel on a Gretsch ‘Country Gent’ that used to be owned by John Squire from The Stone Roses that was round at Owen Morris’s house. The final products is a great link between the demo stages with Mark Coyle and the finished album track.
Alan McGee from Creation records was quoted as saying “It works and when it works its charming and when it’s charming it goes on the record”. Which is a great ethos.
During the recording of Married With Children the following musicians and producers were involved with Oasis (Although not all featured on this song).
Owen Morris & Mark Coyle – Producers
Liam Gallagher – Lead Vocals
Noel Gallagher – Lead Guitarist & backing vocals
Paul Arthurs (aka Bonehead) – Rhythm guitar
Paul McGuigan (aka Guigsy) – Bass guitar
Tony McCarrol – Drummer
Married With Children Lyrics
There’s no need for you to say you’re sorry
Goodbye I’m going home
I don’t care no more so don’t you worry
Goodbye I’m going home
I hate the way that even though you
Know you’re wrong you say you’re right
I hate the books you read and all your friends
Your music’s shite it keeps me up all night, up all night
There’s no need for you to say you’re sorry
Goodbye I’m going home
I don’t care no more so don’t you worry
Goodbye I’m going home
I hate the way that you are so sarcastic
And you’re not very bright
You think that everything you’ve done’s fantastic
Your music’s shite it keeps me up all night, up all night
And it will be nice to be alone for a week or two
But I know then I will be right, right back here with you, with you….
There’s no need for you to say you’re sorry
Goodbye I’m going home
I don’t care no more so don’t you worry
Goodbye I’m going home

Earlier recordings of Married With Children.
A demo version of Married With Children was released on the Deluxe Edition version of the Oasis debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’. A slightly less refined version yet it doesn’t actually differ very much from the final album release. But it does feature a very loud shaker throughout and then a loud tambourine during the solo. Also it has slightly clearer lyrics sung by Liam. It clocks in at one second shorter than the final album release being three minutes and sixteen seconds.
