Paul McCartney - Riding to vanity fair (with lyrics)

[@Beestroker]

And you hear idiots say that Macca can't write anything personal without moving it to the third person. How open and honest this is. The man is magnificent and any of us can fall for a charlatan, no matter how astute we believe we are.

[@timfurnier7061]

Why does a song HAVE TO be in the first person? That shows a self-absorbed person who writes strictly about himself (John Lennon). Often a song written in the first person is TOO personal for everyone to put themselves into it. Paul wrote his songs for everyone.

Absoloutely a great masterpiece

[@onepathmypath2935]

One of his best.

[@billsharkey9365]

As good as any of his best ! Faultless !😻😻😻

[@timfurnier7061]

The whole song is about Heather Mills.

[@peterleeson1750]

The vanity fair reference is very clever and damning of Ms Mills, she probably did not get it though!

[@brianherrington7226]

Peter Leeson I had heard she gave a interview with Vanity Fair magazine which is what inspired the title.

The whole song is about Heather Mills.

I thought this was about Lennon. Had no idea it was for the young thing he was married to. Is there any song that’s written for Lennon.

Too many people is about Lennon

[@lannieridder4321]

He said it was about John xx

Here Today

[@DavidCKendall]

I think that this song's about Heather Mills, as he was going through his messy divorce at the time of this recording. At least it's easy to apply it that way.

[@Blubs]

This song is about Geoff Baker his ex-PR manager and the breakdown of their relationship! At least that's what Geoff told me anyway!!!!

[@DavidCKendall]

Jack Rattenbury Thanks for the inside scoop, Jack. I think that Chaos & Creation contain Paul's first nakedly honest songs. Out of great trials comes great art.

This is pretty deep for Macca, the stoned simpleton
