She was there Diamonds in her hair Singing out a dead man’s song Here am I With the mighty and the high Feeling like I don’t belong There’s you in your book of who's who Acting like you just don’t care We were lying low Got nowhere to go And any road will get us there
^"She" is referring to Sara. It's been well documented that Sara doesn't want Noel reforming Oasis, so Noel feels she's "singing out a dead man's song", because the Oasis reunion is inevitable. Of course, the Mighty and the High is a pun on the Mighty I - which is how Noel referred to himself during the Chasing Yesterday album cycle. The second half of the verse is calling out brother Liam, mockingly saying that Liam is the "Who's Who", apparently pretending to care about Noel and the dead end that the brotherly relationship is now at.
We never should've left town in the first place Now we gotta walk like they talk in the rat race You keep your eyes on the prize if you want it all
^Noel acknolwedlging that he should never "have left town", meaning never should have left Oasis. But now that he has done, both Gallagher brothers need to walk the talk and playing the game ("rat race") and both want to out do each other (the "prize").
You and I The spider and the fly Will meet where the shadows fall
^Noel is the spider. Liam is the fly. They will meet. And Noel will devour Liam, as all good spiders do to pesky flies.
Make room for the man who built the moon He arrived on a knackered horse Made no sound from the day he left town No one said a word of course I believe he was wearing on his sleeve A heart made of black and stone I said, my love I think I’ve had enough I’m gonna find my way back home
^Noel seeing himself as the unsung hero - he's still riding the horse, no matter how knackered his ride now is. And there's a crypric message in here: Noel has had enough. He will now be finding himself going back home to Oasis. Reunion in 2019. Bank on it.
We never should have left town in the first place Now we gotta walk like they talk in the rat race Keep your eyes on the prize if you want it all
^See above.
You and I The spider and the fly Will meet where the shadows fall
^See above. SINGING OUT SHA LA LALALA....

And you're wondering why you failed Literary Criticism.

I knew who created this post without even looking. Step up your game, bud.

I have a hard time picturing Noel on a horse. The rest is plausible enough.

Reunion 2019...yup, definately. Noel will now want the reunion cos Liam is pretty much outdoing him now. Would be nice if Liam said "piss off Rkid,i'm doing grt on me own" but don"t think he will.

Daftness of the post aside, do the lyrics of this song, meaningful as they sound whilst being sung, mean anything remotely decipherable?
