Don't Look Back in Anger - Oasis
作詞・作曲：ノエル・ギャラガー

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 arevolution 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 and 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

And 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

作詞、作曲、リード・ボーカルともにノエル・ギャラガーによる。ノエルがシングルのリード・トラックでリード・ボーカルを担当したのは、本作が初めてである。ライヴでは、ノエルのギター弾き語りというスタイルで演奏されることもあった。コード進行はビートルズの「レット・イット・ビー」、ジョン・レノンの「イマジン」同様、名曲作りの決め手といわれる「カノン進行」である。聖書の視点からは、「Don't Look Back」（振り返ってはいけない）とは、神の怒りの火石と炎により滅びゆく退廃の街ソドムから脱出するロト一家に対する、天使からの警告である。（Wikipediaより）
