Oasis lyrics found in house
Paul Ashbee ORIGINAL lyrics from Oasis's first Top 10 single have
been uncovered by the man who first introduced the band to each
other.
Manchester businessman Paul Ashbee discovered the sheet of paper,
bearing the lyrics of Live Forever in Liam Gallagher's scrawl,
tucked away at his home.
During the early 1990s, Paul employed Liam as a car valet and
introduced the singer to his childhood friend Bonehead, a guitarist.
After Liam's brother Noel joined the band, they became international
stars.
Live Forever was the third single from Oasis's 1994 debut album,
Definitely Maybe. It was their first track to reach the top 10 and
spent more than a year in the charts.
During the early years, Paul remained close to Oasis and attended
their rehearsals and gigs. He often cleared the room after practices.
One day he picked up the lyrics sheet, put it away and promptly forgot
it.
It was only when he heard the Gallagher brothers discussing what had
happened to their early lyrics in an interview that he began searching
through his memorabilia.
Paul said: "When the band was making the album, Noel used to arrive
with the lyrics on paper and his brother would copy them out and learn
to sing them. I used to collect what was left behind in the studio and
kept most of it.
"I always knew Oasis would make it big. I had completely forgotten
about this sheet, but had a look after I watched that documentary.
I couldn't believe it when I found them.
"The actual lyrics differ slightly from what appeared on the tune,
but this must be a real collector's item."
Similar finds for other big bands have fetched thousands of pounds
at auction.
But Paul, who is still close friends with Bonehead but has fallen
out with the Gallaghers, says he has no plans to cash-in on his
discovery.
He said: "There is no way I would part with these lyrics - they are
the kind of thing I want to pass on to my children.
"Oasis are one of the biggest bands in history and I am proud to have
been involved. This paper won't be turning up on any internet auction
sites."
