LONDON — Paul McCartney says he got no thrill from heroin, but found cocaine more to his liking for a time.
"I tried heroin just the once," McCartney said in interview published Wednesday in the Daily Mirror newspaper about his drug use in decades past. (snip)
"A song like 'Got to Get You Into My Life,' that's directly about pot, although everyone missed it at the time," McCartney said.
"'Day Tripper,' that's one about acid (LSD). 'Lucy in the Sky,' that's pretty obvious. There's others that make subtle hints about drugs, but, you know, it's easy to overestimate the influence of drugs on the Beatles' music."

"A song like 'Got to Get You Into My Life,' that's directly about pot" (Huh?)
I was alone, I took a ride I didn't know what I would find there Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there Ooo, then I suddenly see you Ooo, did I tell you I need you Every single day of my life You didn't run, you didn't hide You know i wanted just to hold you And had you gone, you knew in time We'd meet again for I had told you Ooo, you were meant to be near me Ooo, and I want you to hear me Say we'll be together every day Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be When I'm with you I want to stay there If I'm true I'll never leave And if I do I know the way there Ooo, then I suddenly see you Ooo, did I tell you I need you Every single day of my life Got to get you into my life

If so, it's an obvious ode to drug dependency.

And this is surprising considering that John Lennon and Yoko Ono stayed in a drug stupor for days?

I wonder...Did he take the hard stuff during the early Beatle years, or when he wrote "Silly Love Songs"?

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a "Yes" but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
