Sunday Morning Call

The song was released as the third and final single from the album on 3 July 2000,{{cite magazine|title=New Releases – For Week Starting July 3, 2000: Singles|magazine=Music Week|page=23|date=1 July 2000}} peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart, number five in Italy, and number 20 in Ireland. It was written and sung by Noel Gallagher.

Though the song has the same anthemic feel that popularised many Oasis songs, and departs from the psychedelic feel of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, which had been poorly received by critics, it received a mixed critical reception. NME described it as "a dreary thing indeed", whereas Allmusic described it as a "self-consciously mature departure from the group's usual ebullience{{nbsp}}... a deliberately mellow, mid-tempo [song]".

"Sunday Morning Call" was included in the 2010 compilation album Time Flies... 1994–2009; however, the song was relegated to being a hidden track at the end of disc 2, being the only single to not be credited on the sleeve or be mentioned in the track listing. It was rumoured the reason for this is due to Noel stating in the audio commentary of the accompanying DVD that he "hates" the song. Noel confirmed this was in fact the case during an interview with Radio X in 2021 when he was asked why he disliked the song, to which Noel replied; "Because it’s shit. I hate that song. I hate it so much [that] I left it out of the Oasis singles album. That’s how much I fucking hate it. And I wrote it!".{{Cite web|url=https://rockcelebrities.net/noel-gallagher-explains-why-he-hates-oasis-sunday-morning-call/|title = Noel Gallagher Explains Why He Hates Oasis' 'Sunday Morning Call'|date = 9 July 2021}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds/why-is-noel-gallagher-called-the-chief/|title = Why is Noel Gallagher called the Chief?}}
