What are the lyrics to Noel Gallagher's Don't Look Back In Anger?

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play

You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head.
Step outside, summertime's in bloom

Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as she's walking on by

My soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say
At least not today

Why was Don't Look Back in Anger sung at the Manchester attack vigil?

Don't Look Back In Anger became the anthem of solidarity in the wake of the Manchester Arena terrorist attack of May 22, 2017.

The suicide bombing carried out by Salman Abedi killed 23 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Arena,

On May 25, three days after the attack a minute's silence was held in St. Ann's square in Manchester in memory of the victims.

The silence was broken by Lydia Bernsmeier-Rullow who spontaneously started singing the Oasis hit and was soon joined by the rest of the crowd - a video of the event soon went viral.

The song was also sung by Chris Martin from Coldplay at Ariana Grande's One Love Manchester concert on June 4, 2017 which was organised to raise money for the victims.

When Manchester Arena reopened Noel Gallagher performed a set to 14,000 people who joined him in singing Don't Look Back In Anger.

He told the crowd “Every time you sing, we win, so sing like you've never sang before.”
