(Linda McCartney)
(Wide Prairie was recorded in 1973, in Paris.)
I WAS IN PARIS WAITING FOR A FLIGHT
WHEN THIS GUY CAME UP TO ME AND SAID,
HAVE YOU GOT A LIGHT?
WHEN I WAS BORN IN ARIZONA
AND WHEN I WAS ONLY THREE
MY MOTHER TOOK ME TO HER SADDLE
AND WE RODE THE WIDE PRAIRIE
OH WIDE PRAIRIE, WIDE PRAIRIE
AND WE RODE THE WIDE PRAIRIE
MY MOTHER TOOK ME TO HER SADDLE
AND WE RODE THE WIDE PRAIRIE
WELL I WAS LIVING IN ASPEBUELLER
AND WHEN I WAS ONLY TEN
MY FATHER TOOK ME TO HIS SADDLE
AND WE RODE THE RANGE AGAIN
OH WIDE PRAIRIE, WIDE PRAIRIE
AND WE RODE THE WIDE PRAIRIE
MY FATHER TOOK ME TO HIS SADDLE
AND WE RODE THE WIDE PRAIRIE
AND I AINT GOING BACK
NO I AINT GOING BACK
GOING BACKNO MORE
WELL NOW WE LIVE IN ALBUQUERQUE
AND WE RAISE THE FAMILY TREE
WE SPEND OUR DAYS A FEELING PERKY
AND WE RIDE THE WIDE PRAIRIE
OH WIDE PRAIRIE, WIDE PRAIRIE
AND WE RIDE THE WIDE PRAIRIE
WE SPEND OUR DAYS A FEELING PERKY
AND WE RIDE THE WIDE PRAIRIE
I WAS IN PARIS WAITING FOR A FLIGHT
WHEN THIS GUY CAME UP TO ME AND SAID,
HAVE YOU GOT A LIGHT?
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED...
NEW ORLEANS
(Linda McCartney)
(When Wings went to New Orleans in 1975 to record their album Venus And Mars, Linda made an appointment of what she saw there. And wrote this song.)
GUMBO AND POOR BOYS WERE ALL THAT IVE SEEN IN NEW ORLEANS
CREOLE DISH AND CRAWFISH WERE ALL THAT IVE SEEN IN NEW ORLEANS
OYSTERS ON A HALF SHELL BOURBON STREET GOT ITS OWN SMELL YEAH
IT GOT ITS OWN SMELL OH YEAH
GREASED JEANS AND PRALINES WERE ALL THAT IVE SEEN IN NEW ORLEANS
DOOM AND GLOOM TO FIFTY TUNES WERE ALL THAT IVE SEEN IN NEW ORLEANS
OYSTERS ON A HALF SHELL BOURBON STREET GOT ITS OWN SMELL YEAH
IT GOT ITS OWN SMELL OH YEAH
DO DROP IN TO THE DEW DROP INN BUT DONT GO DOWN TO THE DUNGEON
DONT GO DOWN DONT GO DOWN DONT GO DOWN
DONT GO DOWN DONT GO DOWN DONT GO DOWN
OYSTERS ON A HALF SHELL BOURBON STREET GOT ITS OWN SMELL YEAH
IT GOT ITS OWN SMELL OH YEAH
GREASED JEANS AND PRALINES WERE ALL THAT IVE SEEN IN NEW ORLEANS

OYSTERS ON A HALF SHELL BOURBON STREET GOT ITS OWN SMELL YEAH
IT GOT ITS OWN SMELL OH YEAH
GUMBO AND POOR BOYS WERE ALL THAT IVE SEEN IN NEW ORLEANS
(Linda McCartney - Carla Lane)
(This song was written as a protest to animal vivisection on labs.)
THROUGH THE BARS AND MORNING LIGHT
WHAT IS THIS FEELING?
WHY CANT I MOVE?
SOMETIME TODAY THEYLL SET ME FREE
ILL HEAR A VOICE AND IT WILL BE MY FRIEND
THE WHITE COATED MAN
WHERES THE WIND? WHERE ARE THE LEAVES?
WHAT HAPPENED? WHY THIS PAIN?
SOMETIME TODAY THEYLL SET ME FREE
ILL HEAR A VOICE AND IT WILL BE MY FRIEND
THE WHITE COATED MAN
IF MEN WANTS LIFE AND ETERNITY
THEN MEN MUST PAY AND MEN MUST SEE
THAT WE ARE THEM TO MIND
BUT MAN IS THE VOICE MAN IS THE LAW
IF MAN GETS SICK HE WILL FIND A CURE
OUR FRIEND THE WHITE COATED MAN
IN THE DISTANCE PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING
DO THEY KNOW ABOUT ME?
WHY CANT I SEE?
AND THEY WILL PAY, THE SILENT ONES
AND THEY WILL PAY, THE SILENT ONES WILL PAY
THE SILENT ONES WILL PAY
THE SILENT ONES WILL PAY
THE SILENT ONES WILL PAY
(Linda McCartney)
(Loves Full Glory was Lindas response to Paul McCartneys My Love.)
FAR AWAY A DISTANT LOVE AFFAIR
GREW INTO SOMETHING THAT WAS GENTLE AND SENTIMENTAL
AND NOW I KNOW THAT LOVE HAS FOUND FULL GLORY
CLOSER NOW YOUR LOVE HAS WARMED A HEART
THAT COULD HAVE FROZEN IN THESE COLD DAYS
WHEN LOVE IS LEFT ON
UNTIL YOU CAME TO SHOW ME LOVES FULL GLORY
FIRST OF ALL MY SADNESS
WARMED IN THE SUNSHINE
WHEN YOU CAME TO SHOW ME THAT LOVE WILL NEVER DIE
NOW IM NOT SO LONELY
YOU ARE HERE BESIDE ME
GIVING ME THE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU ALONE CAN SHOW
TAKE ME HOME
NOW AT LAST I FOUND YOU
YOU ARE HERE BESIDE ME
SHARING IN THE HAPPINESS THAT YOU ALONE CAN GIVE
NOW IM NOT SO LONELY
YOU ARE HERE BESIDE ME
GIVING ME THE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU ALONE CAN SHOW
TAKE ME HOME
FAR AWAY A DISTANT LOVE AFFAIR
GREW INTO SOMETHING THAT WAS GENTLE AND SENTIMENTAL
AND NOW I KNOW THAT LOVE HAS FOUND FULL GLORY
CLOSER NOW YOUR LOVE HAS WARMED A HEART
THAT COULD HAVE FROZEN IN THESE COLD DAYS
WHEN LOVE IS LEFT ON...
(Linda McCartney)
(Since Linda got married to Paul, she had been criticized by everyone, for her way of singing, dressing, playing, for being American, divorced, and for having a child. Many years later, she wrote this song as a reply to all these people that through the years had been so hard on her.)
ONCE I GOT FED UP WHEN YOU TOLD ME WHAT TO DO
BUT STILL I DID IT TO MYSELF I WAS UNTRUE
BUT NOW IM STRONGER I CAN SEE A BETTER WAY
YOU BETTER LISTEN HARD TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
IVE DONE IVE WON IT NOT RUNNING AWAY
I GOT UP I GOT UP I GOT UP
AND I AINT GOING DOWN AGAIN
I GOT UP I GOT UP I GOT UP
AND I AINT GOING DOWN AGAIN
MY FRIENDS HAVE TOLD ME I WAS GOING DOWN FAST
THEY TRY TO TELL ME NOT TO LIVE IN THE PAST
NOW I CAN LAUGH BECAUSE I KNOW THEY WERE RIGHT
YOU DIRTY DOG YOUR BARK WAS WORSE THAN YOUR BITE
IVE DONE IVE WON IT AND HERES WHAT I SAY
I GOT UP I GOT UP I GOT UP
AND I AINT GOING DOWN AGAIN
YEAH
ITS GOOD TO KNOW THAT I CAN SET MYSELF FREE
ANYTIME I WANT TO I CAN BE THE REAL ME
BUT NOW IM TELLING YOU WHATEVER I DO
ONE THING IS CERTAIN IT WILL NE WITHOUT YOU
IVE DONE IVE WON IT SO BE ON YOUR WAY
I GOT UP IGOT UP I GOT UP
AND I AINT GOING DOWN AGAIN
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT
I GOT UP BABY AND I AINT GOING DOWN NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
OR DO
BE ON YOUR WAY
GET OUT OF HERE
GOODBYE YOU DIRT DIRT DOG
ROOF ROOF
(Linda McCartney)
(inda wrote this song for the same reason she wrote I Got Up. She was sick and tired of being slagged by everyone and decided to say something about it. The vocal of this song was sadly her last - recorded in March 1998 - with her son James playing guitar.)
YOU SAY IM LAZY YOU SAY I DONT FIT
TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE YOU MAKE ME SICK
YOU SAY IM SIMPLE YOU SAY IM A HICK
YOURE F***ING NO ONE YOU STUPID D**K
OPPRESSION WON WIN, THE LIGHT COMES FROM WITHIN
I NEED A SENSE OF CAUSE WANNA SMELL THE FLOWERS
YOU NEED COMPLETE CONTROL YOU WANNA BUILD MORE TOWERS
YOU TRY TO CHANGE ME IF YOU COULD
I SEE THE TREES YOU SAW THE WOOD
YOU SAY IM DIFFERENT YOU SAY WE DONT CLICK
I SAY YOURE CRAZY YOU MAKE ME SICK
I SAY YOURE GREEDY BECAUSE YOU SCHEME
YOU SAY IM FOOLISH BECAUSE I DREAM
OPPRESSION WONT WIN THE LIGHT COMES FROM WITHIN
I NEED A SENSE OF CAUSE WANNA SMELL THE FLOWERS
YOU NEED COMPLETE CONTROL YOU WANNA BUILD MORE TOWERS
I SAY YOURE GREEDY BECAUSE YOU SCHEME
YOU SAY IM FOOLISH BECAUSE I DREAM
OPPRESSION WONT WIN THE LIGHT COMES FROM WITHIN
(Pat Ballard)
(Paul suggested Linda that she recorded some songs she used to listen to when she was a girl. This one was one of the fifties.)
SANDMAN, BRING ME A DREAM
MAKE HIM THE CUTEST THAT IVE NEVER SEEN
GIVE HIM THE WORD THAT IM NOT A ROVER
THEN TELL ME THAT MY LONESOME NIGHTS ARE OVER
SANDMAN, IM SO ALONE
DONT HAVE NOBODY TO CALL MY OWN
PLEASE TURN ON YOUR MAGIC BEAM
MR SANDMAN BRING ME A DREAM
SANDMAN IM SO ALONE
DONT HAVE NOBODY TO CALL MY OWN

MR SANDMAN BRING ME A DREAM
THEN TELL ME THAT MY LONESOME NIGHTS ARE OVER
SANDMAN IM SO ALONE
DONT HAVE NOBODY TO CALL MY OWN
PLEASE TURN ON YOUR MAGIC BEAM
MR SANDMAN BRING ME A DREAM
OH YEAH
(Linda McCartney)
(Seaside Woman was the first song Linda wrote. The animated short for this song went on to win the Cannes Film Festivals Palme DOr.)
OH! PAPA CATCH THE FISH FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA

(The short animated film for this song was also much acclaimed by the critics in the Cannes Film Festival)
IT WAS A THURSDAY NIGHT
I WAS WORKING LATE
WHEN I FIRST CAUGHT SIGHT

EMERALD BLUE PURPLE RED
I WAS WORKING LATE

OF THE ORIENTAL
NIGHT
FISH
OH

(Linda McCartney)
(Linda recorded this song in only one track. She often sang this song at home to Paul.)
ENDLESS DAYS AND LONELY NIGHT I CRY OUT BABY

(Jerry Lieber - Mike Stoller)
(Another fifties song - one of Lindas favorites.)
SHE COMES ON LIKE A ROSE

POISON IVY POISON IVY

WITH NOTHING ON YOUR FACE EXCEPT FOR THAT FAMILIAR BEAUTY
AND HE WILL EAT YOU
BECAUSE HE DIDNT LOOK

(Paul McCartney)
(This song is a joke. EMI asked Wings another song to make the B-Side to the single Seaside Woman, and Linda suggested Paul to write a simple song.)
CAME FOR A WEEKEND
ENDED IN A HATE JOKE
THATS WHEN I HEARD
THE B-SIDE TO SEASIDE
MORE THAN AN A SIDE
LESS THAN A C SIDE
MY LITTLE B SIDE
B SIDE TO SEASIDE
MORE THAN AN A SIDE
LESS THAN A C SIDE
MY LITTLE B SIDE
B SIDE TO SEASIDE
INTO THE OFFSIDE
ONTO THE OUTSIDE
MY LITTLE B SIDE
B SIDE TO SEASIDE

(This song was recorded in Jamaica as a result of Lindas deep appreciation for reggae music).

Paul : "I have always thought of this song as Linda's fantasy. Her passion
for horses and riding started as a gradual thing and remained with her all

joined to make this joyful little record."
