1. If you're slowly walking down the hall....
how can you be faster than a cannon ball?

Unless they're talkin' about the cannon ball BEFORE it's fired, of course!

4. Noel addresses that in some interview.

I'll try to find it.

Here it is.

But some of the words are about nothing. One is about Bracket The Butler who used to be on Camberwick Green, or Chipley or Trumpton or something. He used to take about 20 minutes to go down the hall. And then I couldn't think of anything that rhymed with 'hall' apart from 'cannonball'. so I wrote 'Slowly walking down the hall/ Faster than a cannonball' and people were like, 'Wow, f, man'.

5. Yeah, sometimes with song lyrics
you just have to go with what fits the melody.

6. Paul McCartney did the same thing, as a matter of fact.
He put that part "the movement you need is on your shoulder" in "Hey Jude" as a temporary thing until he could think of something better, and then left it in there.

8. Lots of singers do that
Hell pretty much all of Stairway to Heaven is just there to fot the melody. Rob Halford unashamedly makes up words if that's what it takes like "desolizating." It all depends on what's needed.

Speaking of which; don't forget to check out my first ever DU poll!

9. Here, I'll help him
Call

Shawl

Fall

Tall

Awl

Narwahl, if you really want

Stall

Pall

all

how about just 'ball'

That took fifteen seconds. I'm sure there's tons more.

How about NOT worring about rhyming and writing something that makes sense?

Here. I'll rewrite the line with words that would even fit the musical scheme:

"Slowly walking down the hall

Picking up a rubber ball."

Where were you while we were getting high?

I was learning that you don't always have to stick to the first concept that comes into your head when it doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make you "deep" or "visionary". It makes you stubborn and unintelligible.

That is just my opinion.

10. I don't have his email address.
The first place you might want to try is the Oasis web site:

http://www.oasisinet.com

I remember Oasis was like, one of the first bands I knew of that had a website.

7. Oh yeah, its the other hit Oasis had in the US
I forgot about that one. Not a bad song. Is that the one where they use dominos to spell out HELP in the video in the obvious Beatles knock-off attempt?
