:hi:

one of my faves too.

love song :)

:hi:

He really didn't start losing it as a writer until 1976 or so.

But I have to admit I like the Faces' version just a little bit more....

No youtube video. but here are the lyrics

It's Beautiful Outside, An Old Hand Gathers Wood,
Can He See Me Sitting Here? His Mind Is Somewhere Else.
His Friend Have Flown Away, He's Left Out In The Cold.
He Won't Sit By My Fire, He Says He Likes It In The Snow.
Where Footprints Never Go, He Likes It In The Snow.
It's Getting Dark Outside, The Old Hand's Going Home,
Has He Someone Waiting There? Or Is He Living On His Own?

Where Footprints Never Go, He Likes It In The Snow...
White Blanket, Hiding The Traces Of Tears She Didn't See,
Oh White Blanket Covers The Memory
Of All That Used To Be. All That Used To Be.

But His Heart Keeps Aching In The Same Old Way,
He Can't Help Feeling That She Might Come Back Someday.
It's Beautiful Outside, A Magpie Looks For Food.
The Old Hand Throws A Crumb,
Do You Think He's Found A Friend?

Where Footprints Never Go, He Likes It In The Snow...
White Blanket, Hiding The Traces Of Paths He Didn't Take
Oh White Blanket Covers The Memory
Of Moves He Didn't Make
Oh White Blanket, Hiding The Traces Of Tears She Didn't See
Snow White Blanket Simply Covers The Memory
Of All That Used To Be.

But His Heart Keeps Aching In The Same Old Way
He Can't Help Feeling That She Might Come Back Someday

I thought you were going to say "Ebony and Ivory" or "The Girl is Mine."

That was a close one.

I can't get the image of Bert Parks singing that song out of my head.

Bake

Including this one:

Maybe I'm Amazed is considered a classic.

BTW, did you read where he had a coronary angioplasty last autumn?

so you get no argument from me....

Thank you for reminding me!
:hi:

I thought it might be 'band on the run'.

I was gonna see if I could find a youtube performance of my favorite post-Beatles McCartney song, the one about the chick who gets up, takes a shower, and goes to work while hoping her next dude is not some one-night-stand like all the rest of 'em, but I can't remember the name of it.

Now THAT one is clap-trap....but it's truly my favorite.

Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath To Wet Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel 'round Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat.
It's Just Another Day.

At The Office Where The Papers Grow She Takes A Break,
Drinks Another Coffee
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Awake,

It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.

Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Her Up
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.

As She Posts Another Letter To The Sound Of Five,
People Gather 'Round Her
And She Finds It Hard To Stay Alive,

It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

So Sad, So Sad,
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.
Alone In Her Apartment She'd Dwell,
Till The Man Of Her Dreams Comes To Break The Spell.

Ah, Stay, Don't Stand Her Up
And He Comes And He Stays
But He Leaves The Next Day,
So Sad.
Sometimes She Feels So Sad.

Every Day She Takes A Morning Bath To Wet Her Hair,
Wraps A Towel 'round Her
As She's Heading For The Bedroom Chair,
It's Just Another Day.
Slipping Into Stockings,
Stepping Into Shoes,
Dipping In The Pocket Of Her Raincoat.

Ah, It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day. Du Du Du Du Du
It's Just Another Day.

Thank you.

:)

If I had to listen to that one, the only thing that would have been "Coming Up" would be my breakfast!

Love that song.

Maybe a bit overly sweet for some, but I can dig it.

The sound reminds me so much of Badfinger though...

:evilgrin:

BTW - hate me for this, but I find your avatar just a little bit freaky :)

My all time favorite Paul McCartney song is...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyyEc-GNDfQ

It's got a beat and you can dance to it!





(Actually my favorite McCartney song is "Too Many People", but since he doesn't make mashed potatoes in it, well...)

glad to see someone mentioning Mull Of Kintyre here too. I'd forgotten about that one. I've always loved Monkberry Moon Delight. What a great, quirky rocker...
