    Roll with It (Oasis song)

    "Roll with It" is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It was released on 14 August 1995 as the second single (the lead single) the from their second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, reaching #2 on the UK Singles Chart.

    'Battle' with Blur

    "Roll with It" received a great deal of attention when Food Records, the label of Britpop rivals Blur, moved the original release date of the single "Country House" to clash with it, sparking what came to be known as "The Battle of Britpop" . The British media had already reported an intense rivalry between the two bands and this clash of releases was seen as a battle for the number one spot. The media sensation was spurred on by verbal attacks from the respective camps (in particular Noel and Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn and Alex James), that extended beyond the music industry to the point where the two bands were regularly mentioned on the evening news . In particular, public imagination was sparked by the contrast between the gritty, working class Oasis and the artsy, middle class Blur. In the end, Blur's "Country House" single sold 274,000 copies to Oasis' 216,000 copies of "Roll with It". The singles charted at number 1 and number 2 respectively.

    Rockin' Chair

    by: Oasis

    I'm older than I'd wish to be
    This town hold no more for me
    All my life I try to find another way
    I don't care for your attitude
    You bring me down I think you're rude
    All my life I try to make a better day
    It's hard enough being alone
    Sitting here by the phone
    Waiting for my memories
    To come and play
    It's hard enough sitting there
    Rockin' in your rockin' chair
    It's all too much to take
