Tripped Electric - The Gallagher Reign

Copied!edit Lyrics

Oi, grab your Union Jack, mate, and your Adidas shoes
The NME's got breaking news
Liam’s got a new haircut, Noel’s in a tiff
And everyone else is just a bit stiff
Blur who? Pulp what? Doesn’t matter, you see
The NME's just an Oasis fanzine

The NME is an Oasis fanzine
Where the Gallagher brothers reign supreme
Every headline screams their name
In this mad fer it media game

Let’s forget about new bands, they can wait
There's a Liam tweet we need to contеmplate
Noel's new solo’s on thе airwaves today
But first, here’s a throwback to their heydays
Radiohead’s a bore, Arctic Monkeys who?
The NME’s got a one-track view

The NME is an Oasis fanzine
Where the Gallagher brothers reign supreme
Every headline screams their name
In this mad fer it media game

Remember the time when Britpop was king
And every other page had Noel or Liam’s fling?
Well, those days are back, they never really left
In this magazine where Oasis is bes
New bands might shine, but they don’t stand a fucking chance
When the NME’s stuck in an Oasis trance
The NME is an Oasis fanzine
Where the Gallagher brothers reign supreme
Every headline screams their name
In this mad fer it media game

There's so much music out there, of that we are sure
But who needs variety when you’ve got the '90s allure?
So, tune your guitars, and fix your hair
The NME’s got a Mancunian affair
Every issue’s a trip down memory lane
Because the NME is an Oasis fanzine

The NME is an Oasis fanzine
Where the Gallagher brothers reign supreme
Every headline screams their name
In this mad fer it media game

From 'Supersonic' nights to 'Wonderwall' days
The NME’s forever stuck in that haze
New sounds and scenes may come and go
But Oasis is the heart of the show

Tripped Electric's "The Gallagher Reign" is a nostalgic ode to the heyday of Britpop and the dominance of Oasis in the music scene. The song humorously portrays the NME as an Oasis fanzine, where the Gallagher brothers reign supreme and every headline is dedicated to their antics. The lyrics poke fun at the magazine's obsession with Liam and Noel, dismissing other bands and artists as insignificant in comparison. The song celebrates the '90s allure of Oasis and the enduring influence of their music, suggesting that new bands have little hope of competing with the Mancunian duo in the eyes of the NME. With references to iconic Oasis songs and moments, "The Gallagher Reign" captures the essence of a bygone era when Britpop ruled the airwaves and the Gallagher brothers were at the forefront of the music scene.
