To Liam

By now, you should've somehow realised what you gotta do

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And backbeat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out

I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would like to say to you

But I don't know how

Because maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all

You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you

By now, you should've somehow realised what you're not to do

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding

And all the lights that light the way are blinding

There are many things that I would like to say to you

But I don't know how

I said, "Maybe

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all

You're my wonderwall"

I said, "Maybe (I said maybe)

You're gonna be the one that saves me

And after all

You're my wonderwall"

I said, "Maybe (I said maybe)

You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)

You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)

"It’s taken me eight and a half years to write. We both sing, like The Self-Righteous Brothers. It’s a fitting anthem to finish off the record."

First lyrics "There's no time" written in Japan that surfaced recently as part of an auction (x)

Transcription:

"And if the world would sit and pray

then all your hopes and dreams

would not be fading away

but everybody knows yeah everybody knows

everybody knows there is no time

Is no time"

(I believe at the bottom right it says Japan '00)

In 1999/2000 the "It's a crime" demo is recorded, with different lyrics, presumably for SOTSOG and performed by Noel acoustically.

In 2005 the official version is released as a single with yet another set of lyrics, now titled "Let there be love" in which both Liam and Noel perform vocals and Noel sings the "come on baby blue" bridge.

However in 2025 a demo (recorded in August of 2004) surfaced, in which Liam sings the bridge instead of Noel (x). Liam later confirmed it was real. (x)

Finally, in 2024 Noel said this about the "It's a crime" demo:

"Matt: Um, Matthew Finnegan, question for NG. What are your thoughts on the first version of "Let There Be Love" you wrote, titled "It's a Crime"? Why the massive difference in lyrics between the two, and would you be interested in playing it live?

Noel: (long pause) I have no idea what he's going on about.

Matt: "Let There Be Love," you wrote an earlier version, he says, called "It's a Crime" and there's big differences of lyrics.

Noel: (long pause) That's fucking news to me.

Matt: Ok, I don't know what Matthew Finnegan's talking about. I've tried. I've put it to the man. He don't know what the fuck it's all about.

Noel: Why-

Matt: -would you ever write a song called "It's a Crime" anyway?

Noel: I'd never put out a song called "It's a Crime." I might title something like that as a holding title, so..."
