The lyrics were inspired by the hotel's long corridor and what Gallagher described as a "Good, relaxing smoke." When asked about what the song meant to him, Noel responded: "To me this sums up your journey through life. All we know is that we don't know."

All Good Books
Paul Weller
Paul Weller "It's about people using The Bible or The Koran for their own ends. All those prophets were pretty much saying the same thing: love your brother, respect the earth. The way it's all corrupted for man's sake - for material reasons. All things that are the antithesis of what those books are saying. It doesn't mean I'm converted, quite the opposite. I believe in The Blake thing. That God is within if there's any notion of him."
