The story behind the song

This song presents a rougher musical attitude, moving away from psychedelic imagery and softer chords. It proclaims the appeal of cigarettes, alcohol, and other drugs as a remedy for the dullness and apparent futility of working-class life. The lyrics capture a sentiment of disenchantment, questioning the value of finding a job when there seems to be nothing worth working for. Written by Noel Gallagher, this track appeared on their debut album, Definitely Maybe. It plays like an anthem for finding escape in everyday vices.
