Noel Gallagher's handwritten lyrics for Oasis' hit Don't Look Back In Anger have sold at auction for more than £20,000 ($27,000). The singer's words sold at auction for five times more than their valuation. Collectables company Propstore initially valued the handwritten relic at just £4,000 ($5,350). The lyrics were written down with a blue pen on a yellowed piece of crumpled paper and went under the hammer at £20,160 last Friday after a bidding war broke out, according to entertainment news outlet What's The Jam. Known as one of Oasis' biggest hits, this piece of music history was part of the band's second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? The hit was first released in 1995 and the album is widely considered one of the best of all time. It won British Album of the Year at the 1996 Brit Awards. In other Oasis news, never-before-seen footage of the band performing in Glasgow on the night they were discovered recently sold for more than £28,000 ($37,400) at auction. Liam and Noel played one of their first-ever gigs at the city's King Tut's Wah Wah Hut on 31 May 1993. They were offered a record deal on the spot by Creation Records boss Alan McGee, who was in the audience.
