Apprecitae it if somebody could post a box art pic which can be found on Oasisinet.com

about it sounding over bloated, who ever wrote, you do realize that d'you know.... was released after morning glory, so the fact that one might argue like it sounds like d'you know is wrong.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.166.166.56 (talk) 03:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Drug references

"It has been suggested that the song is about drug addiction in general" - what about the title? See Ipomoea tricolor, a species of morning glory reputedly containing an LSD analogue.

Don't know whether it has anything to do with the song (and tlitliltzin can hardly be considered addictive in the strict sense), but still... use of the stuff became more popular in the wake of the goa culture, and the of the "psychedelic morning glory", formerly almost unknown outside Mexico, became more well-known since the early-mid 90s. So it might not be a coincidence. Dysmorodrepanis 18:52, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Morning glory is in fact British slang for the early morning erection commonly experienced by men and boys, so references to razors and mirrors are probably to shaving and not drugs! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hauskalainen (talk • contribs) 18:13, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Harry Nilsson

Mournin' Glory Story of Harry Nilsson holds a lot of the same thoughts you find in Oasis' song. While Nilsson sings of a girl looking back, the Gallagher bros versions talks about themselves, but there's quite a resemblance:

"All your dreams are made Now you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade" (Oasis) - "She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorway wondering how she ever got that way" (Nilsson)

Both first verses end with some light on tomorrow:

"Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon" (Oasis) - "Will tomorrow be the same as yesterday" (Nilsson)

Since the Beatles were inspired by Nilsson, and Oasis is inspired by the Beatles, it's possible. Isn't it? Anyone heard this comparison before? Somewhere? --Selach (talk) 17:05, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
