LYRICS:

Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside for ever
Never seeing no one, nice again,
Like you, mama
You, mama . . . you . . .

If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here
(If we ever get out of here)

LINK

Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
I hope you're having fun.

Band on the run; band on the run
And the jailer man, and sailor Sam,
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run . . .

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run,

Band on the run . . .

Well the night was falling
As the desert world began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found

Band on the run; band on the run
And the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for ever more,
FOR THE BAND ON THE RUN.

This is Macca's perfect post-Beatles production.

I just love the whole solo and Wings catalogs. Macca was never afraid to experiment. He is quite an inspiration. Macca is the Energizer Bunny.

Paul McCartney has written the sound track of my life With the Late John Lennon when we were all young. A couple of years ago I went to Boston with my three brothers to see Paul (sir) and I have memories that will last for the rest of my life. When Paul too the stage be himself for about an hour Wow and his rendition of Black Bird. Thank you for using your god given talent and giving me and millions of others the most amazing music.

Hi! Sir Paul your my fave ex Beatle & I love this song. I hope we get to meet one day soon, for I have had a crush on you ever since I was a teenage girl of 13. I won't forget seeing you & your former Beatle band mates perform live on The Ed Sullivan Show on 2-9-64. That night for me will go down in musical history for me as pure joy Sir Paul. Thanks ever so much for being a part of rock & roll music that you & your former Beatle band mates were a part of.
Cheers:
