I've seen interviews with Noel and Liam and they admit to writing the lyrics to supersonic( which you quoted) in like a few hours while they were waiting to record Definitely Maybe.
But the fact that they can write amazing lyrics for songs like champagne supernova, Rock n Roll Star, Wonderwall, I'm Outta Time etc (i could go on forever) proves that when they write lyrics that don't make sense, they don't do it because they don't know what words to put into the song but because it's just another way of making one of their songs sound great.
They know how to make a song sound great and whether the lyrics make sense or not is irrelevant. They don't try and kid you that those lyrics are genius because they often talk about how they just threw them together as quick as possible. (E.g Elsa was a dog in the recording studio that kept making awful smells while they were recording)
As DLS pointed out, the beatles have done this on numerous number ones but it doesn't make them any less brilliant songwriters.
Supersonic just happens to be my favourite oasis song btw. No-one will come close to oasis' songwriting for a while, I'm sure of that. Anyone going to see them in June?
