From his early Liverpool days, through the historic decade of The
Beatles, to Wings and his long solo career, The Lyrics pairs the
definitive texts of 154 songs by Paul McCartney with first-person
commentaries on his life and music. Spanning two alphabetically
arranged volumes, these commentaries reveal how the songs came to
be and the people who inspired them: his devoted parents, Mary and
Jim; his songwriting partner, John Lennon; his "Golden Earth Girl",
Linda Eastman; his wife, Nancy McCartney; and even Queen Elizabeth
II, amongst many others. Here are the origins of "Let It Be",
"Lovely Rita", "Yesterday", and "Mull of Kintyre", as well as
McCartney's literary influences, including Shakespeare, Lewis
Carroll and Alan Durband, his secondary school English teacher.
With images from McCartney's personal archives-handwritten texts,
paintings and photographs, hundreds previously unseen-The Lyrics,
spanning sixty-four years, is the definitive literary and visual
record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
