Sad, but interesting.

Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I’m 64?

Who calls him Macca?

[dfwgator]

He also references his mother in “Let It Be”

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

[plain talk]

Well crafted song by a serious rock music composer. I suppose his Mom heard the song and I doubt she would have known that line was about their incident. The words were fairly general.

“I’m not half the man I used to be. There’s a shadow hanging over me.”

Great lines.

Regrets can make us very melancholy.

Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom…

Which Mary came to Paul? His mother, or Jesus’ Mother Mary?

[Gary from Dayton]

So, what he is saying is that he said something wrong now he longs for yesterday.

[Rennes Templar]

What a relief to know! I won’t have to stare at the ceiling at night worrying about this anymore!

[DannyTN]

I still think Paul should collaborate with Taylor Swift on a break up song about Heather Mills.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yesterday....
I mouthed off to my mum at tea
Dad slapped the crap out of me
Now I am whining continually

[Theophilus]

I believed in Y2K.

A strange story from a strange land.

The problem with Paul’s interviews the last decade or so, is that he is constantly revising the inspirations, history and meanings of his songs. Maybe he’s trying to get everything down, as he is in his 80’s, or, memories do get a little faulty 60 years on.

A non-story. He said something nasty to his mom and wrote the song as an apology. It’s not like the song insulted his mom.
