Liam Gallagher - Once Lyrics






It was easier to have fun back when we had nothing
Nothing much to manage
Back when we were damaged
Sometimes the freedom we wanted feels so uncool
Just clean the pool
And send the kids to school

But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then
You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
But it turns out you only get to do it once

I think it's true what they say that the dream is borrowed
You give it back tomorrow
Minus the sorrow
And the pain she just comes in to break up the daydream
Her knife edges waving
To keep from feeling the same thing

But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then
You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
But it turns out you only get to do it once

You only get to do it once
You only get to do it once
You only get to do it once

But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then
You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend
When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
But we were wrong, you only get to do it once

  1. A.... H....

    Best song ever Liam! Thank U.

  2. B.... 8....

    I fucking Love this song

  3. C.... ....

    Brat Liam, pun gas i fajterski. Live Forever ✊✌️

  4. C.... E....

    Another John Lennon in this song ? ... Does it sound a little bit like one of John's song ? ... Perhaps I'm wrong.

  5. C.... ....

    Send the kids to schooooall

  6. T.... W....

    Me too .. wanna hear it more than once (which is rare these days) - although the first line resembles some lines in "Honey pie" (Beatles). But I guess he is just trying to say: I cherish the heritage of the Fab Four. That´s okay. I love this song.

  7. B.... 2....

    Does Liam mean you only get to live once or Noel could only end it once?

  8. A.... R....

    It was easier to have fun back when we had nothin'
    Nothin' much to manage
    Back when we were damaged
    Sometimes the freedom we wanted feels so uncool
    Just clean the pool
    And send the kids to school

    But oh, I remember how you used to shine back then
    You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend
    When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
    But it turns out
    You only get to do it once

    I think it's true what they say that the dream is borrowed
    You give it back tomorrow
    Minus the sorrow
    And the pain, she just comes in to break up the daydream
    And I felt his waving
    To keep from feeling the same thing

    But oh, I remember how you used to shine back then
    You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend
    When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
    But it turns out
    You only get to do it once

    You only get to do it once
    You only get to do it once
    You only get to do it once

    But oh, I remember how you used to shine back then
    You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend
    When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again
    But we were wrong
    You only get to do it once

  9. I.... ....

    Wish I was rich enough for a puooal, should’ve tried harder at skhuoul...

    We really missed you, don't we?

  11. m.... s....

    Turns out Liams the better of the two .

  12. T.... W....

    Great song but it's crying out for a guitar solo in the middle - could have been a classic.

  13. A.... G....

    فنااااان

  14. K.... T....

    Jealousy ruins everyone and everything hope you guys get back and prove the world wrong .

  18. T.... G....

    this song truly saddens me to think that these two extremely talented brothers refuse to work together. not only that but two brothers who were once so close are now so far.

    Liam gather wail

  42. T.... A....

    Fuckin masterpiece...
    Straight to the point.

  43. M.... C....

    I'm reading these comments and I think the extra love given here to Liam over Noels solo music (which I prefer) is that this is more commercially 'safe' if that makes any sense. Sure, both sound like they have a bunch of radio tunes written, but (again, in my opinion) Noels music sounds more original. This sounds safe, and in saying that, I like this a lot! This isn't breaking any boundaries, where Noels music has more musical talent behind it.

    M.... C....

    Yeah thats why he's got the bird playing a pair of fucking scissors
    'More musical talent' My arse

  44. J.... M....

    Liam is improving with each album and his best could well be to come. I think One of Us is his best to date.

  45. R.... Y....

    Best song from oasis /Liam / noel in years

  46. S.... B....

    Esencia Oasis 🤩

    Great song

  70. B.... J....

    Excelente letra!!!

  71. R.... H....

    Yeah Liam's doing it right now. He sold more albums in week of release than the rest of the top ten put together. Go on fella that's good for real music. Don't know what direction Noel's going? Sail on and dead in water are good wandering star is ok. It's his sound it ain't rock n roll or dance its wierd. That's just my humble opinion. I got some ruff acoustic jams on here put in Ross Heathorn. Flattery is addiction song, couple of conspiracy tunes and others. NO LOVE SONGS, had enough of f ing love songs. Ed Sheerans whole album but one or two is love songs. Lewis capaldi every tune is a love song it's just boring to listen to. That's just my view I ain't no one special. I don't just write love songs tho, peace people x

  72. H.... C....

    Gets better everytime you listen

  73. m.... d....

    Fucking sound like a Paul McCartney song, I am in love with Liam, I don't care I'm not gay

  74. O.... &....

    Liam Gallagher admits that Oasis failed in their world domination ,Coldplay & Muse were much bigger than them around the world maybe not in the UK. I would never of admitted that 20years ago real candid funny interview from LG again.

    https://youtu.be/aFinZU5W-F0

  75. C.... I....

    12/19, im a little late to the party but im all in.

  76. J.... B....

    Mad for it!

  77. M.... D....

    I'm late to the party!

    Fantastic to be listenting to this Stella music!! Chocolate to my ears😍😎

    Im sure Liam Gallagher will not spot my little comment among the sea of loving fans but if you do I just want to say buddy you are a legend loving every everything you are doing!

    A beautiful and honest soul, I hope life brings you everything you hope for x

    I lost my dear sister in August unexpectedly, would have loved to roar into a bottle of voddy with her listening to your tunes.

    Hope you get to have that beer with NG one day in the not to distant future.

    M.... D....

    Liam Gallagher admits that Oasis failed in their world domination ,Coldplay & Muse were much bigger than them around the world maybe not in the UK. I would never of admitted that 20years ago. A real candid funny interview from LG again. I'm sure your sister would have loved this interview I lost my best friend at the end of February this year . A reason I started this channel xx

    https://youtu.be/aFinZU5W-F0

    M.... D....

    @Oasis & Company Sorry to hear about your friend xx It's not easy is it.

    Thanks for the video link, thoroughly enjoyed it😎

    M.... D....

    @Maria Devic it's amazing how tunes can just put a smile on your face or give you a lump in the throat. xx

  78. C.... S....

    Cant get anuff of this album. Well done Liam

  79. D.... H....

    Brothers..are brothers for life no matter the chaos. These comments I see on rather if the song is good or not to Noel's approval is..sad. The song holds it's own (in my perspective, John Lennon worthy) as the message is "Friend" and what is a friend but to remember and love? We're only here once. Start acting like it.

  80. M.... T....

    Solo work get a better and better. Noel will wantb to get him back soon enough. Blood brothers sort it for Manchester city... Oasis at the Etihad...

  81. D.... K....

    On the 14 November 2019 my younger brother passed away. My birthday was the 27th and his the 28th, he was four years younger and nearly made it to 46.

    I'm the one that did the army, police (don't worry I'm normal!) and all the crazy stuff.

    When our kid passed him and his factory workmates had all bought Liam's album. His voice kept my morale up during difficult times. So it was great to hear that our kid and his mates had all been singing this on the day he passed.
    I've dealt with awful stuff...but thanks to the power of music like this I will always remember our kid and sing along.
    Take care folks, look after each other 😉

  82. J.... P....

    Best song either of them has had since Oasis broke up

  83. B.... M....

    Saw this live a few weeks ago, made me cry

  84. T.... 4....

    Sheeeeeeinee I love it

  85. C.... M....

    I first heard this in As It Was. Loved it ever since. 💜🎶

  86. D.... ....

    Liam man you are a Fucking LEGEND, you new album is Awesome man.and lets be honest you have a better voice than Noel...

  87. I.... S....

    hey mr tambourine man

  88. G.... T....

    Mans a legend watched him last night at the o2
    The man parked Noel up fucking legend

  89. J.... V....

  90. l.... D....

    Deep, deep, deep!...awesome!

  91. r.... t....

    Chapeau!

  92. M.... U....

    The first part of the melody is so similiar to the verse start in Don't let me down - The Beatles

  93. l.... m....

    jealous guy rip off

  94. T.... 1....

    Bad subtitles by my deaf nana had a nightmare

  95. M.... W....

    I see that fame and fortune issue now.

    https://youtu.be/IJ7Pj4qrTCQ

    And the storeys spiral into realitys now and again.

    https://youtu.be/wNAxxBGMNHw

  96. M.... W....

    And his words were "I Let You Win" then he walked off. The words stayed with me for a long time. And I still don't know why they were fighting mate.
