Gallagher, Noel - Be Careful What You Wish For Lyrics






Tidy your books up
Put them under your bed
And gather your thoughts up
But keep 'em in your head
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you dream
They let you sing your songs, son
But they'll never hear you scream

Button your coat up
Take shelter from the rain
They want you to be like them
But you can never be the same
'Cause you're standing on the outside
They'll never let you in
They'll let you play the game, son
But they'll never let you win

Never let them bare witness
To the tears in your eyes
And never take a handshake
From the prophets and their lies
'Cause they put you in the wrong line
You've been crying out for more
They've given you the key, son
But you'll never find the door

You've fallen like an angel
Stranded on the earth
They let you see their riches
They never tell you what you're worth
They've put you in the back seat
While they're heading for the sun
And if you're waiting for the rapture
The day will never come

The day will never come...
The day will never come...
The day will never come...
The day will never come...
The day will never come...
The day will never come...
The day will never come...
The day will never come...
The day will never come...
The day will never come...

Gallagher, Noel Be Careful What You Wish For Comments
  1. J.... H....

    Fuckin love this, my fav song on the album

  2. J.... P....

    Painful. Next

  3. f.... h....

    Whith songs like this and the River by Liam seem to show some sort of concern for the young generation by the Gallaghers

  4. M.... G....

    I love Liams Album, I love Noel's aswell. Yall fighting over pointless shit. Just enjoy the greatness they're releasing.

  5. b.... ....

    I never understood how it was possible for anyone who liked a good tune to honestly dislike Oasis but it has to be said, that after their first two albums, they were pretty much repeating the same trick over and over. This album doesn't. I think that it pushes the (beat) boat out in a way I always hoped they were capable of. I don't get why so many Oasis fans were/are so hostile.

  6. A.... B....

    Excellent.😎🇬🇧

  7. c.... ....

    You can hear Russell Pritchard's influence here. Very Zuttons.

  8. A.... ....

    What does the girl says? 🤔

  9. T.... C....

    2019
    "Here come old flat top..." hahahaha
    Really Noel? Cmon..stop it. You are already a musical genius. Stop making references from one of your fave bands.
    Peace.

  10. S.... T....

    Give it away bass flea xd

  11. m.... ....

    Gallagher brothers - 1Style / 1Substance. Ideally, you've got both, and that's magic, but...ya split 'em up, when push comes to shove, which of the two will get the most attention (even if it shouldn't)? Hmm....

  12. M.... W....

    So very true.

  13. w.... s....

    Love this song. Pure genius.

  14. N.... ....

    Total riip-off of Get Together by the Beatles -the start is anyway.

  15. N.... ....

    This just positively reeks of illuminati control over the masses.

  16. T.... m....

    Not better than shockwave

  17. J.... G....

    Great tune, with some of Noel's best lyrics, imparting advice to his boys. A harder, less mellow, more Oasis type sound, maybe with Liam in his prime singing, would be amazing.

  18. E.... S....

    Top Tuuuuune Know Matter what people are saying about Noel...this & that etc!!!

  19. a.... l....

    good mellow song with good sounds added in the song, each time I listen I notice new sounds i missed before.

  20. S.... D....

    PREACH.

  21. T.... G....

    Oasis get off your high horse lady ...

  22. J.... A....

    What is the lyric of the girls part?

  23. S.... M....

    This is one cracking tune

  24. Y.... T....

    This is cool... Although I feel like I need to be stoned to fully appreciate it.

    Sounds like he's been getting into Trip-Hop.

  25. c.... ....

    The Doors

  26. B.... H....

    Brasil Waiting For You 2018

  27. G.... L....

    La mejor rola de este disco....

  28. M.... J....

    Is this Noel Gallagher or Depeche Mode?

  29. K.... ....

    Problem with these songs is that NOTHING happens. I feel like they're building up to something, just that something never comes (A few of them are just shite tho lmao)

  30. K.... M....

    Fucking love this.

  31. L.... Y....

    Noel has to make an asmr video asap.

  32. J.... ....

    Come together

  33. G.... V....

    It's a dog in the end of song?

  34. i.... ....

    Anyone know the lyrics from the woman (women?) in the recurring breakdown part while Noel does his "aaaahhhhh"s? Can't quite make them out.

    Is it simply scat? Really interesting pronunciation.

  35. S.... O....

    I love Noel and the high flying birds and everything before, but this is come together in a different sequence. Bit gutted tbh, if you can't here the similarity your tone deaf man. It's the base line minus the Tom Tom roll.

  36. w.... ....

    Chuck Berry's 'You Can't Catch Me' and Beatles 'Come Together'

  37. P.... R....

    intro sounds like soon come tomorrow by andy bell in beady eye

  38. t.... c....

    almost as good as the black keys

  39. R.... L....

    what a rip off of come together, but I guess it wouldn't be a noel gallagher album without a stealing, right? It's a nice song tho....

  40. p.... r....

    By far the best album he has recorded.

  41. M.... 2....

    Nice! 👌

  42. b.... ....

    No lyrics for the female voice. :(

  43. U.... ....

    i love this psy trance taste harmonized by noel

  44. G.... R....

    The only way you will dig this album is too take some mushies!!
    I think some people just say they like this album because Noel has written it!! If this was his debut album, Jesus he wouldn't have been known!!
    "Definitely Maybe" to this is just crazy!!
    I hate how some song writers feel the need to write something off the wall!!
    It's like he has taken a million mushies and tripped out, and thought fuck it!!
    Give me Liam's new album any day long!!
    I NEVER EVER THOUGHT I WOULD say something like this about Noel's material... First ever album I've never bought from him!!!

  45. m.... h....

    Brilliant, still has the very best of his original style. That beautiful beetles esq sound. He's done it again. Wee belter
    Pucker album 👌.

  46. J.... J....

    This new stuff keeps growing and growing and growing on me. Sixties , seventies... wall of sound, dreamscapes, acid drenched... I don’t care.

    Turn.It.Up. And pour me another.

  47. T.... B....

    Nice1 Noel keep it up with the hair the shoes and the vibe

  48. S.... P....

    beginning sounds like sweet leaf by black sabbath?

  49. V.... K....

    Come together, right now
    Over me

  50. B.... B....

    Liam has 1 million views for come back to me vs 159k views for this which was released at the same time ... enough said

    B.... B....

    views can be quantified, talent...no

    B.... B....

    You're comparing a single with an official video and a simple lyric video for an album song... That's already dishonest, but why not. :D But if I follow your logic, then Justin Bieber is better than LG because he has definitely more views than him. So that's what you are also implying when you make such a poor statement. Congratulations smart boy :P

  51. M.... R....

    class awesome completly original amazingness noel, fair fucking play :)

  52. B.... S....

    5:24 Hidden Mickey

  53. D.... ....

    One and one and one is three 😅

  54. V.... ....

    come together rip off..... I liked his first 2 albums but this one is fukin lame

  55. L.... k....

    Got a "High Horse Lady" feel to it, mellow groove .. nice !

  56. A.... ....

    He’s a genius 😍

  57. P.... W....

    what is this genre ?

  58. L.... R....

    like if you are high

  59. J.... H....

    Cadê os brasileiros que curtem NGHFB...

  60. v.... ....

    Come Together + Lie Down In Darkness (A-ha)

  61. J.... N....

    So hypnotizing

  62. r.... z....

    i need to get this album

  63. �.... ....

    코러스가 "왜 이랴?" 같다는 말 들으니까 집중이 안된다ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

  64. L.... C....

    Drunkenly stumbled upon this and became instantly happily mesmerised.

  65. 1.... ....

    Best Album Ive bought in long time. Top class. Love it.

  66. L.... B....

    Noel, if your reading this, I just want you to know there are fans out there who support you with everything you do, including me. I'm glad you are still keeping up the awesome songs, and are not listening to all the rude people out there who are hating on your songs. Y'know, "you gotta say what you say and don't let anybody get in the way" KEEP ON GOING NOEL!!! <3

  67. I.... M....

    They'll let u sing your song son but never let u scream. Who's they😶 it sounds like the doors ND Beatles

  68. E.... L....

    Sorry Liam, but Noel is just legendary

  69. J.... B....

    I'm getting a lot of 'The Doors - Riders on the storm' with this

    J.... B....

    from 2.14

  70. F.... F....

    Mortel!

  71. P.... M....

    I'm confused. Why this song hasn't blow up yet?. It's fucking amazing. What the fuck is wrong with people nowadays?

  72. 6.... ....

    sounds like the chillie peppers at the start.

  73. D.... S....

    What is chorus woman singing?....somewhere go...?

  74. D.... S....

    i think Liam attracted much people than Noel...but I prefer Noel’s album.He’s trying to create new music style, so I understand everybody prefer Liam who do love rock n roll that has exist since earliest times.(nevertheless I don’t dislike him.) You might know many years later, you will like Noel’s style.

  75. m.... ....

    Here come old flat-top

  76. M.... I....

    Noels tried something different and its worked, alot better than his brothers album
    Which is what you would expect, a big shout out goes to the genius david Holmes.

  77. G.... B....

    Godlike genius!

  78. F.... ....

    Not a bad tune. Shame noels voice is weak and boring

  79. t.... ....

    Fucking great lyrics. Dylanesque I suppose

  80. L.... G....

    anyone can put the lyrics of the women?

  81. R.... ....

    loving it !

  82. L.... M....

    Come together

  83. F.... ....

    Take a groove out of Come Together and bring it to 2017, adding some of the best lyrics Noel had ever written. The whole album is very, very good, but this song takes the biscuit atm.

  84. B.... R....

    This isn't experimental, sounds like oasis alternative version of waiting for the rapture or get off your high horse lady from dig out your soul era

    B.... R....

    The real Hazed is bad enough.   You copying that plum .......is just sad.

    B.... R....

    Si Hopebgood I've been hazed for six years

  85. C.... ....

    Pretty cool album, if this was made by like a younger musician it would gain far more buzz but it seems that older artists in the UK aren't seen as important/cool etc... in the US, older artists seem to get more respect, acclaim and Grammys or whatever those those are

  86. d.... g....

    Damm only 100k views nobody listens these masterpieces :(

  87. G.... M....

    Fucking loving this album. Totally needs a few plays but it´s great!! I´d say even Twitter twat loves it..

  88. S.... B....

    I didn't like this song at first but it grew on me, I really like the whole album!

  89. H.... T....

    Come Together

  90. S.... W....

    Reminds me a bit of Dr John

  91. M.... R....

    This is for sure a nod to Liam. "You're waiting for the rapture, but the day will never come, the day will never come"

  92. C.... F....

    If you have doubts about how good this album is, get high and bathe in its glory.

  93. I.... K....

    Alles was gespielt wird ist aus der Privat-playlist von Ilona Katharina Kadic', also von mir empfohlen und ausgesucht und als mein Lieblingslied abboniert.

  94. A.... T....

    No, not "biblical". Godlike is more like it.

  95. D.... 4....

    Macca's bass lives on...
