Never liked Helen Wheels, delighted it was omitted from the UK edition. Ever since first listen its been a skipper so its now straight to Country Dreamer.
I’m glad I saw this because I hadn’t heard Country Dreamer before, it’s not on the Band On The Run I have in Itunes. I downloaded it last night, and what a fab song it is! 
"Please don't bring your banjo back, I know where it's been.. I wasn't hardly gone a day, when it became the scene.. Banjos! Banjos! All the time, I can't forget that tune.. and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out and buy a big balloon!"

Offline “In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make” from ”The End ” of the Abbey Road album. No better way to round up the Beatles than with these last words on top of a kickass medley!! (And Her Majesty ).
Also Lennon commented these end lyrics with something like; ”Well the man can think after all”. Anyone who has a link to the exact quote?

I put And I Love Her on while I was chilling with my girlfriend one day. It was the first time she’d ever heard the song, and it reduced her to tears (in a good way 
)

Offline With the exception of the deeper and more heartfelt lyrics on “let it be”, “The Long And Winding Road “, “the end” and perhaps a few others, I felt that essentially Paul is both a wonderful story teller and master of the simple “silly”
love song.
I have always felt optimism and an “onwards and upwards” attitude in his music and lyrics; he seldom wallowed…..
Profoundness can always be found elsewhere, and music doesn’t always need to be delivered with a free soul-searching kit.
I first heard this McCartney lyric when i was 14 and, for some reason, have never forgotten it……
“I know i was a crazy fool, for treating you the way I did….
but something took a hold of me, and i acted like a dustbin lid….”

Well put; I agree. On the other hand, McCartney was occasionally capable of a deeper poignancy (e.g., “Little Lamb/Dragonfly” or “You Never Give Me Your Money “). I didn’t know what song those lyrics quoted above came from — I see it’s from “The Other Me” from an album I never really explored much, Pipes Of Peace . It’s a good song, but unfortunately his vocal affectations kind of spoil it; he should have just sang it straight (I suspect he does that sometimes when he thinks a melody is weak, so he tries to punch it up).

Every time I see the title of this thread, that lyric always comes to mind.
Other favorites for me are:
“For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder”
“For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe/ And discuss all the vast intricacies of life/ We could jaw through the night/ Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like”

My favourite Paul lyrics for some time now have been the opening lines from the song Return To Pepperland , the title track of the aborted 1987 album. I always picture the scenario as a sort of surreal painting:
My cousin Lil comes home at eight
That’s late for her
Her husband Dan just doesn’t show ’til she’s in bed
That’s when he dons his latest listening device
And hears the right nice music in his head
I should also mention this is the song I’m on a kick of ATM too!
"Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles... "

Also well put. Paul was indeed capable of both poignancy and pathos in his lyrics and your post made me think of two of my favourites tucked away in the middle of the “over easy” side of the Back To The Egg album….winter rose/love awake.
The somewhat contrived vocal on the other me is unnecessary as it’s certainly not the weakest melody he’s ever penned…especially the verse.

Paul in the 90s had one of the best decades a musician can have.

And hung me on a line
