It perfectly caputures the mood of dealing with grief ( [trying to] get your head together / look ahead / move on) without being too specific.

The lyrics are not linear, thay are a collage. IMO there is a reason Noel is referencing Lennon - John left England, never to return, and Noel wasnt going back to live in Manchester.

That's possible. Noel was certainly influenced a lot by John. highplainsdem Jul 17 #4
