Definitely Maybe is the debut studio album by English rock band Oasis, released in August 1994 by Creation Records. It was an immediate commercial and critical success in the UK, having followed on the heels of singles "Supersonic", "Shakermaker" and "Live Forever". It is the only full album to feature original drummer Tony McCarroll.
Definitely Maybe went straight to number one in the UK Albums Charts on initial release. It was the fastest selling debut album of all time in the UK when it was released and went on to be certified 7× Platinum (2.1 million+ sales) by the BPI.Definitely Maybe marked the beginning of Oasis' success in America, selling over one million copies there, despite only peaking at 58 on the Billboard 200. The album went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide and brought widespread critical acclaim.
The album, along with Blur's Parklife, helped to spur a revitalisation in British pop music in the mid-nineties and was embraced by critics for its optimistic themes and supposed rebuttal of the downtrodden fatalism evident in the dominant grunge music of the time. Today, Definitely Maybe is regarded as a seminal record of the Britpop scene, and has appeared in many publications' 'best of' lists. The album is also popular among audiences: in June 2006, NME magazine conducted a readers' poll in which it was voted the greatest album of all time.
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 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
These could be the best days of our lives
But I don't think we've been living very wise
Oh no, 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 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
