A page of Oasis Live Forever lyrics have sold at Ewbanks Auctioneers, in Woking, Surrey, for £1,900.
The lyrics were handwritten by Oasis band founder Noel Gallagher and measured 17 cm by 23 cm.
It's believed Gallagher wrote the lyrics in the mid 2000's with provenance stating they originate from the collection of a sound technician who worked with the band.
'Live Forever' was the third song to appear on Oasis' 1994 Definitely Maybe album.
The lyrics are written in upper case, in black ink, on white linen paper, and were sold alongside the original proof photo of John Lennon's home at 251 Menlove Avenue in Liverpool.that appears on the Live Forever record sleeve.
The 24 cm x 30 cm photo had been signed and stamped by the photographer Michael Spencer Jones.
The auction also saw a song sheet for the Oasis tune 'Fade in', signed by all the original band members, including Bonehead, sell for £380.
Oasis memorabilia is Definitely (maybe) on the rise, and is one of the most searched phrases at The Memorabilia Club website.
Definitely (maybe) one for a long-term hold for the future.
