Paul McCartney on 'Happy With You' ('Words Between The Tracks')

Paul discusses 'Happy With You' from his album 'Egypt Station'.

FULL Lyrics to 'Happy With You':
I sat around all day
I used to get stoned
I liked to get wasted
But these days I don’t
‘cos I’m happy, with you
I got lots of good things to do, oh yeah

I walked around angry
I used to feel bad
But nowadays my days
Don’t have to be sad
‘cos I’m happy, with you
I got lots of good things to do, oh yeah

Like, hear the high clear robin sing
Walk a bluebell carpet
Watch the children playing games
Catch a moon and drop it
Hear the gentle mantle roll
On a frosty morning
See the mighty ocean break
Like a sailor’s warning

I used to drink too much
Forgot to come home
I lied to my doctor
But these days I don’t
‘cos I’m happy, with you
I got lots of good things to do

Throw a pocketful of coins in the Trevi fountain
See an ice cold running stream
Rushing down the mountain
Hear a new born baby lamb
Calling for its mother
Watching reunited friends
Loving one another

I sat around all day
I liked to get stoned
I used to get wasted
But these days I don’t
‘cos I’m happy, with you
I got lots of good things to do, oh yeah

Happy with you
I’m happy with you
Happy with you

Nothing beats the in person experience of sitting and talking with someone over a good cup of tea. If you have been to see live music then everything else seems like a virtual reality. Curiously entertaining but lacking in the truest sense.

Enough of the Lotus Eater you must be a Master teacher. You have spent years honing your craft...continue to generously share your self with others.

[Jlhendry]

[anoniemegebruiker]

[ChrisOnTheKeys]

I wonder why he called it Egypt Station?

[zzzwy]

oh paul, its not the plant's fault but how You choose to use it, if used responsably its wicked and has so many potent medicinal properties and used in all sorts of sustainable green industries, but to each their own with their opinions (~_~) .
