LAUGHTER

# Suddenly

# I'm not half the man I used to be... #

LAUGHTER

# There's a shadow hanging over me

# Oh, I believe

# In yesterday. #

With Yesterday and then that lyric, 'I said something wrong',

once somebody said to me, "That song's been covered 3,000 times".

And I said, "Wow, great."

So I just went "Wow" and then didn't do anything about it.

But then one day I thought, I said to one of my mates...

..give me an idea of the top 20 people who recorded it.

Right. If it's been 3,000, you know.

I don't need the organ grinder from the Netherlands,

although that's a very nice version,

but you know, I said, "Give me the top 20".

So it was like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley,

Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles.

So I just was able to listen to them and go, "Wow!"

And I think I like Marvin's version best.

But what was funny, I think it was Elvis, Marvin and Frank...

My mates!

They all changed the lyric.

Oh, right.

Where it got to that, 'I said something wrong',

they all changed it to, you know Elvis,

# I must have said something wrong. #

Frank.

# I must have said something... #

'I must have said something wrong'. Like, probably didn't.

It wasn't me!

# Yesterday

# All my troubles seemed so far away

# Now it looks as though they're here to stay

# Oh, I believe

# In yesterday

# Suddenly

# I'm not half the man I used to be

# There's a shadow hanging over me

# Oh, yesterday

# Came suddenly

# Why she had to go

# I don't know

# She wouldn't say

# I said something wrong

# Now I long for yesterday

# Yesterday

# Love was such an easy game to play

# Now I need a place to hide away

# Oh, I believe

# In yesterday

# Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Goodnight! Thank you!

I could have just gone into a super group

and just rung up Eric, Jimmy Page, John Bonham or whatever

and you know, just the mates, and said,

"Come on, guys. We're going to do it."

But for some reason I wanted to go back.

And it was quite funny, we ended up, as you say, playing universities

and graduated to town halls,

which was funny because I'd been in Shea Stadium

quite recently, you know.

And it was funny, you know.

You had to hold your nerve, but then you do in life.

I remember there was a little thing that me and George used to do,

you know, as kids when we were showing off

and trying to learn guitar.

We used to do a little thing by JS Bach.

It was like our party piece.

I got it wrong.

I think he got it right.

It went like this.

All right.

It's supposed to go...

# Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah

And that little bit turned into this song.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I just started to imagine her life and, erm...

You know, she worked in a church.

She was picking up the rice after weddings,

but she'd never got married.

So just that little, erm...

'Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door'.

Which, you know, when I grew up,

all the older people kept their teeth in jars

with the Steradent and every night...

Yeah. ..they put them in the thing.

So this idea of having a face that's all cream,

all stuff all the women used to...

Hair in curlers. Yeah.

I don't know where they thought they were going!

They were just going to the Co-op, weren't they?!

One, two, three, four.

Everybody I imagine says to you the pop world is very short-lived

and everything like that and what will you do when the phase passes.

Do you think the phase will pass? Does it worry you? No.

I couldn't care less, really.

I don't think, if we flop tomorrow.

It would be sad, you know, but it wouldn't really worry me.

Could you go back to doing something else?

Oh, I don't know. I'd miss doing this.

But I think I'd think of something else to do, something that I'd like to do.

What would you do? Erm...

Write songs for other people. I'd enjoy doing that.

Anything completely different? Completely different? Erm... Retire!

You know, that would be completely different.

Well, thank you very much indeed.

It would be a great pleasure to watch Paul McCartney in retirement,

but it will probably be in the year 2010, I should think!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, we were very lucky, you know.

I mean, OK, we were good.

And now I can say that. Yeah.

You know, now that our writing partnership's over,

I can say we were good.

Whereas at the time, you're always trying to be a little bit modest.

You know, "Yeah, I think we've written one or two good ones."

You're doing that. But now I'm a fan. Yeah. You know? So...

You know, we would sit down and come up with an idea

and one of the things I still wonder at is that

out of, I think it's just short of 300 songs, every time we sat down,

we came away with a song. It is amazing. It is amazing.

I mean... You know, yeah.

And we only had trouble one day with me...

The thing I'd brought in, the tune was OK,

but I had this idea of,

"I can give you golden rings... Right.

"..I can give you any things." Yeah.

And it was like, ooh, it's just too bad.

We were trying to write it, this golden rings thing,

and it was just too corny

and we couldn't get anywhere with it, you know?

So after about an hour or so, we just decided,

let's have a cup of tea and let's have a ciggy, so we did that,

and then when we came back, it was like,

we've got to get rid of all of that

and then we thought of, "Baby, you can drive my car."

Just took it to, like, a more satirical place... Right.

..where we could have fun with the idea now. Yeah.

And she wants a driver and... You know.

So then it wrote itself real quick because we had the tune.

That's quite a switch, isn't it? It's a complete switch. Yes.

You know, golden rings was so terrible.

And I don't know what made us switch that far... Yes.

..but it was lucky that we did.

# Asked a girl what she wanted to be

Thank you!

I Saw Her Standing There was one, you know.

Cos I had the first line... It was basically my song.

So the first line was, "She was just 17..." Oh, no, it was...

Yeah. "She was just 17, she'd never been a beauty queen."

And we kind of, "Oh, no!"

We couldn't get past that line, you know?

And I had a lot of the others, but that line stuck out as a stinker.

So it was like, "No, we can't do that.

So we just stuck with it and we came up with,

"She's just 17, you know what I mean..." Yeah. ..which, you know...

Jerry Seinfeld was doing a show once,

and he was doing a bit of a speech, and he said, "For instance,

"you know, Paul, you wrote, 'She was just 17, you know what I mean.'

"Well, I'm not sure we do know what you mean, Paul!"

THEY LAUGH

# Well, she was just 17

# And you know what I mean

# And the way she looked was way beyond compare

# So how could I dance with another? Ooh

# When I saw her standing there?

# Well, she looked at me And I, I could see

# That before too long, I'd fall in love with her

# She wouldn't dance with another Ooh

# Well, my heart went boom when I crossed that room

# And I held her hand in mine

SCOUSE ACCENT: Thanks, Russ.

Now, what are all these names meaning? This is "slaps".

What does "shaker" mean?

"Shaker" and "slaps". This is...it's another story.

THEY LAUGH

Anyway...listen, we had a lot of trouble with her.

No, it's just names we call stuff.

That's actually slaps like that.... KNEE SLAPPING

I was making that noise.

Can we hear it? I think we can.

Hey, John, can you roll to a bit of slap? The middle bit.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Did you ever write with Linda, Paul?

Yeah, little bits.

It would mainly be if I was stuck with a song

and she was the person in the room.

I'd say to her, "What about this?"

So she would help.

So we did do a few songs together.

But in that case it was mainly me writing the song,

and her putting little suggestions in. Mm.

And did you like to have her approval for a song?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

You know, I like a bit of adulation, me.

HE LAUGHS From the wife.

Yeah, from the wife especially.

# You want a love to last forever

# One that will never fade away

# I want to help you with your problem

# Stick around, I say

# Coming up

# Ooh, ooh!

# Coming up

# Yeah

# Coming up

# Like a flower

# Coming up

# I'll say

# Ooh!

# You want a friend you can rely on

# One who will never fade away

# And if you're searching for an answer

# Stick around, I say

# Coming up

# Ooh, ooh!

# Coming up

# Coming up

# Like a flower

# Coming up

# Yeah

# You want some peace and understanding

# So everybody can be free

# I know that we can get together

# We can make it, stick with me

# It's coming up

# Ooh!

# Coming up

# Like a flower

# Coming up

# For you and me

# Ooh!

# Coming up

# Coming up

# Coming up

# Coming up

# I say

# Coming up

# Like a flower

# Coming up

# I feel it in my bones

# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

# You went a better kind of future... #

Another problem you had around that time, too, of course,

was this perception of Linda as well, wasn't it? Yeah.

That this was happening all the time. Yeah.

This girl would, to start with, dare to marry you,

then she was a vegetarian,

and then she played with the band and all that. Yeah.

That must have been a troublesome time as well.

She just said, "No, I'm going to do it."

By the time we were on tour in America in '76,

she was doing a lot of very complicated keyboard work,

like in songs like Live and Let Die.

Very hard, and it was her doing it, there was no-one

faking it. So she did great, really, you know?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# When you were young and your heart was an open book

# You used to say live and let live

# You know you did, you know you did, you know you did

# And if this ever-changing world in which we're living

# Makes you give in and cry

# Say live and let die

# Live and let die

# What does it matter to ya?

# When you've got a job to do

# You've got to do it well

# You've got to give the other fella hell!

# Wooo!

# You used to say live and let live

# You know you did, you know you did, you know you did

# And if this ever-changing world in which we're living

# Makes you give in and cry

# Say live and let die

# Live and let die

# Let die Live and let die

# Wooo!

# Woohoo! #

Mr Simon Pegg.

Songwriting is obviously a very personal process.

You strike me as a very private man.

When it comes to writing those really meaningful, truthful songs,

do you ever feel like there's a challenge

about giving too much of yourself away?

Do you ever feel there's a little, sort of, tension,

being honest and keeping things...you know,

it's good to keep things to yourself.

Erm, yeah, it's funny

because I think, just in real life, I would find that a challenge.

You know, I like to, sort of, not give too much away.

Like you say, I'm quite private.

I think, well, why should people know my innermost thoughts?

That's for me, they're innermost.

But in a song, that's where you can do it.

That's the place to put 'em.

So that's one of the things I love about songs.

# The long and winding road

# That leads to your door

# Will never disappear

# I've seen that road before

# It always leads me here

# Lead me to your door

# The wild and windy night

# That the rain washed away

# Has left a pool of tears

# Crying for the day

# Why leave me standing here?

# Let me know the way

# Many times I've been alone

# And many times I cried

# Anyway you'll never know

# The many ways I tried

# But still they lead me back

# To the long and winding road

# You left me standing here

# A long, long time ago

# Don't leave me waiting here

# Lead me to your door

# Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

# Woooo

# Do, do, do

# Do, do, do, do, do

# But still they lead me back

# To the long and winding road

# You left me standing here

# A long, long time ago

# Don't keep me waiting here

# Lead me to your door

# Woooo

# Ooh, yeah. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Have you ever sat down and written with anyone since John

that was like it worked the same?

Never the same. Never the same?

I kind of knew when I was going into a new writing partnership

that it could be good but it was never going to be like me and John.

Cos we were just kids growing up.

I mean, you know, I met John,

I think, when I was, like, 16 or something,

and he'd be 17-and-a-half. Mm.

So that's very special.

And coming through all of that together,

you know, Woolton village fete,

and playing together,

all the little gigs you play around Liverpool, Hamburg, all of that,

coming back. The ballrooms... Mm.

..the TV shows, the radio series,

and all of that, you've done so much, and written so much,

that there's nobody ever going to be able to equal that. Mm.

# He didn't notice that the lights had changed

# A crowd of people stood and stared

# They'd seen his face before

# Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

# I saw a film today, oh, boy

# The English army had just won the war

# A crowd of people turned away

# But I just had to look

# Having read the book

# I'd love to turn you on... #
