We live in hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us
Jet, I can almost remember their funny faces
And Jet, I thought the Major was a lady suffragette.
There will be an answer. Let it be.
I used to go round to Aunt Mimi's house and John would be at the typewriter, which was fairly unusual in Liverpool. None of my mates even knew what a typewriter was. Well they knew what it was but they didn't hae one. Nobody had one.
There was one moment where they were riding their little ponies in Scotland, and Stella said to me: 'Dad! You're Paul McCartney, aren't you?' 'Yes darling, but I'm Daddy really'.
I don't know anything about the Appalachian mountains or cowboys and Indians or anything. I just made it up.
Be cool and you'll be alright. That's rock & roll religion.
A lot of the Beatles albums were very various, and we did it on purpose: We didn't want the next track to sound like the last one.
I do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.
My stepmother sold my birth certificate and someone asked why I didn't buy it back. I don't know, really. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It was mine. It cost me nothing and suddenly I had to buy it back.
I'm not a great practiser at all. We were never great practisers. The Beatles would come together for about a day before we had a tour, to make sure the amp worked.
I realized marvelling at nature was a deep pleasure of mine.
That's not really important what religion people are attached to, because by the same argument I have a lot of Christian friends and Moslem friends. It's just happened that I do have a lot of relatives and friends who are Jewish.
