At The Mercy | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

‘At The Mercy’ is the fourth song on Paul McCartney’s 13th solo album Chaos And Creation In The Backyard. See more…

It was a case of just letting it come into me. I still don’t know what I was trying to get at. But I don’t mind that in a song. I like that because the audience can decide. ‘We can watch the universe explode.’ It means everything without meaning anything. You know what it means. ‘At the mercy of a busy day…’ I like to be on the cusp of meaning. I’m not quite sure what it means, but I really know what it means. That’s an interesting area.
