Liam Gallagher

Do you think the average Liam/Oasis fan would be aware of that?

Considering the one side barrage of anti Russian sentiment coming from the media just now, it doesn't take a genius to realise some people could misconstrue it at face value. 

I haven't read the lyrics either, maybe someone could put them up if they were interested enough/could be bothered....

Dunno

It's pretty common knowledge, and it seems weird that the songwriters/Liam would put the two words together unless it was referencing that phrase

More on Moscow Rules...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moscow_rules

These are the lyrics which I interpret as about a way of behaving (Moscow Rules) and not a song in praise of Moscow the city

The person described in the song is following Moscow Rules and not being true to his heart - or something

What do you think?....

[Verse 1]
Home again, but in your dreams you creep back to the wire
Tell the truth of something close they'll just call you a liar
But when it's done, you can't even retire
Back on the run, back in the line of fire

[Verse 2]
Turn the page, and burn the book the day we said goodbye
I walked alone, and looked ahead avoided all the eyes
And when it's dead, it doesn't even die
Nothing's new, nothing's cool
Here again and baby we're both fools
[Chorus]
Follows me, follows you
It's the same Moscow rules, lonely man
I think you're never alone, even at home
The empty seats across the table
Are staring back

[Verse 3]
Overcast, can't see the sun, But I can't see the moon
Paralyzed by memories of ruined afternoons
Get out of bed, and come sing us a tune
Nothing's new, nothing's cool
Here again and baby we're both fools

[Chorus]
Follows me, follows you
It's the same Moscow rules, lonely man
I think you're never alone, even at home
The empty seats across the table
Are staring back

[Chorus]
Follows me, follows you
It's the same Moscow rules, lonely man
I think you're never alone, even at home
The empty seat across the table
Is staring back

That Wikipedia page says…

The rules are referred to in Liam Gallagher's song Moscow Rules from his 2022 album C'mon You Know.

Seems pretty cut and dried

Especially the lyrics themselves which seem to be clearly referencing the rules

But who knows?

Who is?

Liam Gallagher: C’mon You Know – review – ALBUM OF THE WEEK!

Louder Than War review

C’mon You Know, Liam Gallagher’s 3rd solo album is occasionally experimental, takes risks, but builds on his first two cementing his reputation as a stellar solo artist. Iain Key listens for Louder Than War.

Following the success and acclaim of Why Me, Why Not? Liam and his team could easily have followed the same blueprint and trod the same boards. Instead, they’ve gone out on a limb with C’mon You Know. Gallagher himself recently said in an interview with The Sunday Times, “It’s a bit peculiar in places, which is good: 80 per cent madness and 20 per cent classic. If you’re going to start doing stuff like that on your third album, it helps if there’s a bit of Covid about; because if it doesn’t take off, and people go, ‘I’m not sure about this, it’s a bit weird,’ we can blame it on the virus and go back to the classic stuff”. I hope it does take off and people will give it a few listens. It may not be what you want, but it could be what you need.
