The Importance Of Being Idle Lyrics
Artist(Band):Oasis
Review The Song (26)Print the Lyrics
I sold my soul for the second time
'Cause the man He don't pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said "Son, the bill's waiting"
My best friend called me the other night
He said "Man - are you crazy"
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said "Boy - you lazy"
But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
Hey Hey

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine, give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
Hey Hey

I lost my faith in the summer time
'Cause it don't stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line
He said "Son - words fail me"
It ain't no place to be killing time
I guess, I'm just lazy

I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine, if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
Hey Hey

Review about The Importance Of Being Idle

AWESOME | Reviewer: Eimzz Bbzz | 10/14/2008

I love love LOVE Oasis and this song is ACE!!! i love it when Noel Gallagher sings, his voice is softer than Liam's but i still like Liam's voice like.
Also i LOVE stop cryin your heart out
my favourite song ever!!!
=D xD



We like it also in Italy..! | Reviewer: giammarco | 7/9/2008

It's not so easy understandig the real deep meaning of this song.. anyway the music is great, the rythm is fantastic, the lyrics are wanderful and the videoclip is original too..! It' s the best song performed by oasis, after "stop cryin' your heart out" which is my favourite one..



Amazing... | Reviewer: Yin | 1/26/2008

My best friend actually gave this to me saying, "Oh my god, this is our song! It's so us!" I listened to it and fell in LOVE. Not only is it partly because I love British rock as a genre, but this song is the epitome of lethargy, and puts me at ease, especially considering the 'protagonist' is so carefree about his laziness, when usually I'd feel guilty.



Interesting | Reviewer: M&M | 1/23/2008

It's rather interesting having different opinions about what this osng really means to say. I think that this 'proves' in a sort of way that this is a GREAT song. I would rather go for the suicidal type 'can't get a life when me heart's not in it' than the 'philosopher'whiten above (11-30-2007). Also, silence can express agressivity. ...



Best Oasis Song, my opinion | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/24/2008

Hey, i really like that song! I dont like much oasis but this song had such a cath effect on me! I guess the melodys are so great n also the way he sings! About the lyrics, i think he says " cause the Land, dont pay me " thats why he says after " I beg my Landlord for some more time..." hes saying like we´re still in the medieval times where we should work just to pay the tax that the owner of the land that we live n work demands us to pay, hes right in a way.



Great | Reviewer: GMNO | 1/12/2008

Hey guys I'm a great oasis fan i played wonderwall on my guitar infront of all these students in my primary school i was only 11. Anyways I like this song i heared it loads before just didnt get the name for ages lol anyways i would like it if some one could find me the tab for the electric guitar version but eh.



char: | Reviewer: thefastforwards | 11/30/2007

char:

its about the importance of beeing idle.
he writes about how people should relax more and spend more time on thinking and... ah its hard to explain. let me put it this way:

silence = thought
its hard to think when you gotta work all the time
many big mistakes in the world are made by people who are stressed or got a lot on their mind/to do.

dont know if you understood one word of that but anyway, haha.



I didn't use to like this song but now I quite like it! | Reviewer: Julián | 10/4/2007

hi everybody! from argetina, I had to look for the lyrics of this song ´cause I didnd't understand some verses, I'm from an Spanish-speaking country and sometimes I find it hard to get what some songs say. I'm studying English, that's why I´m able to understand some things, otherwise I wouldn't get anything!! I started listening to oasis a couple of years ago and my favourites songs are LYLA, STAND BY ME, CAST NO SHADOW and many more I don't feel like writing!! good bye from Argentina. As I'm learning english, I would like you to add me to your msn, I may learn lots of things by talking with people from an English-speaking country!!
