The Meaning of Soul Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I gotta show you, man, the meaning of soul
I'm taking on love tonight
Get outta my way, yeah man, I dig what you say
But that ain't enough, alright
I'm a different breed and I am outta your league
I'm ten outta ten, alright
Get out of my way, yeah man, I dig what you say
But that ain't enough, alright

[Chorus]
All rise, I see the love in your eyes
If it's alright, then I'll be your light


[Verse 2]
I gotta show you, man, the meaning of soul
I'm taking on love tonight
Get outta my way, yeah man, I dig what you say
But that ain't enough, alright
I'm a different breed and I am outta your league
I'm ten outta ten, alright
Get out of my way, man, I dig what you say
But that ain't enough, alright

[Chorus]
All rise, I see the love in your eyes
If it's alright, then I'll be your light
[Outro]
I gotta show you, man, the meaning of soul
I'm taking on love tonight

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Oasis say about "The Meaning of Soul"?
Genius Answer

Noel Gallagher describing the song in the May 2005 Q Magazine:

Like Elvis on crack. Zak’s (Starkey – Ringo Starr’s son) playing a box of Weetos with two wooden spoons. We played it at Glastonbury like The Stooges, but kept the Elvis ‘56 vibe for the record.
