Our Noel

The halfway house of Levenshulme
It started for the casual connoisseur
That is Noel Thomas David Gallagher
At the match with mates, as per

From Army and Navy stores
To the treasure troves of Brewer Street
From brown Wrangler flares
To his own portrait on his feet

A couple of cagoules aforementioned
One Kappa, one adidas
A staple for any Mancunian
A hero for the working class

Rocking up at Cannes Film Festival
In a white Boss jacket and jeans
Leaving the tux to the pretenders
Long live these ‘90s scenes

Many a man sat salivating
As up pops another Osti holy grail
Pockets, upon pockets, upon pockets…
Holding many a Glastonbury tale

So yeah – a fine first episode as expected
As we patiently await the next drop
For now, only one question remains
What’s Noel’s local charity shop?
