And the muse turned her back, tired, longing after twenty years for some well-deserved rest, so Paul found himself without inspiration to create the pathetic "Give My Regards To Broad Street", a banal and irritating celebration of a superstar. And we are left only with the soundtrack to remind us of this failure by Macca, who would have done better to take a vacation and recharge his batteries instead of presenting us with the horrible trio, "Pipes Of Peace", "Give My Regards..." and "Press To Play".
Fortunately, the Beatles arrive to save our Paul's reputation, as he draws heavily from "Revolver", "Good Day Sunshine", "Eleanor Rigby" which gets a makeover and is complemented by a beautiful classic-style coda from an inspired Macca, "For No One", one of Paul's most beautiful love songs, but then ruins everything with a disco version of "Silly Love Songs" that gives you chills and an arrangement for "The Long And Winding Road" worthy of the worst Spector. But thank goodness there's "Yesterday" and "Wanderlust", miraculously recovered for the last time from "Tug Of War", to underline Paul's inability to enhance his repertoire, but then there's the annoying falsetto of "So Bad" and the weary last Wings of "No Values" and "Not Such A Bad Boy", it's only rock 'n' roll, everything gets a lively and successful moment with "Ballroom Dancing", a piece celebrating dance halls, with his friend John Paul Jones on bass and plenty of punchy brass and choirs. And finally, "Goodnight Princess" and "No More Lonely Nights", with David Gilmour's guitar reminding us of better times, the solo that will come, when the muse returns to Paul.
Tracklist and Lyrics
04 Here, There and Everywhere (01:43)
To lead a better life, I need my love to be here
Here,
making each day of the year
changing my life with a wave of her hand
nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair.
Both of us thinking how good this could be.
Someone is speaking
But she doesn't know he's there.
I want her everywhere
and if she's beside me, I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
knowing that love is to share
each one believing that love never dies
watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be there, and everywhere
Here, there, and everywhere.
05 Wanderlust (04:07)
Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says, there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Take us from the dark
Out where we can see
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not for me
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for ne
Wanderlust
Oh, where did I go wrong, my love?
What petty grime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh, wanderlust way
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for ne
Wanderlust
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not for me
Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says, there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Oh, where did I go wrong, my love?
What petty grime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh, wanderlust way
Dropping a line
Maybe this time
It's wanderlust for me
09 So Bad (03:21)
There Is A Pain, Inside My Heart
You Mean So Much To Me
Girl, I Love You, Girl, I Love You So Bad
And If You Leave, My Pain Will Go
But That's No Good To Me
Girl, I Love You, Yes, I Love You So Bad
Well It Feels So Good, Sometimes It Feels So Bad
This Is Worse Than Anything I've Ever Had
There Was A Pain, But Now You're Here
And I Don't Fear A Thing
Girl, I Love You, Yes, I Love You So Bad
And She Said, Boy, I Love You
Boy, I Love You So Bad
- Solo -
Girl, I Love You
Girl, I Love You So Bad
Well It Feels So Good, Sometimes It Feels So Bad
This Is Worse Than Anything I've Ever Had
There Was A Pain, But Now You're Near
And I Don't Fear A Thing
Girl, I Love You
Girl, I Love You So Bad
And She Said
Boy, I Love You
Boy, I Love You So Bad
Girl, I Love You
Girl, I Love You
