What music did for my Selective Mutism - Paul McCartney



The stores around here never seem to have many of Paul's albums, so I only own 3 at the moment.



All The Best



'Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey'
The only reason I'm putting this one here is that I heard this song on the radio when I was maybe 6-7 years old, and had it stuck in my head for years, kind of like all of a sudden I would hear the part I have here. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was by a Beatle - I guess I've been a fan since before I knew who they were!
Hands across the water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water
Heads across the sky



'Comin' Up'

You want a friend
You can rely on
One who will never fade away
I know you're searching for an answer
Stick around, I say

You want a better kind of future
One that everyone could share
You're not alone, we all could use it
Stick around, we're nearly there



Chaos And Creation In The Backyard



'Fine Line'

There is a fine line
Between recklessness and courage
It's about time
You understood which road to take
It's a fine line
And your decision makes a difference
Get it wrong you'll be making a big mistake

Whatever's more important to you
You've gotta choose what you want to do
Whatever's more important to be
Well that's the view that you got to see



'Too Much Rain'

Laugh
When your eyes are burning
Smile
When your heart is filled with pain
Sigh
As you brush away your sorrow
Make a vow
That it's not going to happen again

It's not right, in one life
Too much rain

It's too much, for anyone
Too hard, for anyone
Who wants a happy and peaceful life
You've got to learn to laugh

Smile
When you're spinning round and round
Sigh
As you think about tomorrow
Make a vow
That you're going to be happy again



'Riding To Vanity Fair'

You'd put me down
But I can laugh it off
And act like nothing's wrong
But why pretend
I think I've heard enough
Of your familiar song

I tell you what I'm going to do
I'll try to take my mind off you
And now that you don't need my help
I'll use the time to think about myself

You're not aware
Of what you put me through
But now the feeling's gone
But I don't mind
Do what you have to do
You don't fool anyone

The definition of friendship
Apparently ought to be
Showing support for the
One that you love
And I was open to friendship
But you didn't seem not to have any to spare
While you were riding to vanity fair



'Follow Me'

You lift up my spirits, you shine on my soul
Whenever I'm empty, you make me feel whole
I can rely on you, to guide me through, any situation
You hold up a sign that reads, follow me

You give me direction, you show me the way
You give me a reason, to face every day
I can depend on you, to send me to any destination
You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me



'Promise To You Girl'

Looking through the backyard of my life
Time to sweep the fallen leaves away
Like the sun that rises every day
We can chase the dark clouds from the sky

Hey why wait another day
That won't get us anywhere
All the time that it takes
To repair this brave old world will be ours
I gave my promise to you girl

Everything single second of our lives
We can use to chase the clouds away



Flaming Pie



'The World Tonight'

I saw you sitting at the centre of a circle
Everybody, everybody wanted something from you
I saw you sitting there

I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music
Caught you playing, caught you praying to the voice inside you
I saw you swaying there

I heard you listening to a secret conversation
You were crying, you were trying not to let them hear you
I heard you listening in

Never mind what they want to do
You've got a right to your point of view!
It doesn't matter what they say
They're giving the game away, hey hey

I saw you hiding from a flock of paparazzi
You were hoping, you were hoping that the ground would swallow you
I saw you hiding there



'Somedays'

We don't need anybody else
To tell us what is real
Inside each one of us is love
And we know how it feels

Somedays I cry
I cry for those who live in fear
Somedays I don't
I don't remember why I'm here



'Young Boy'

Find love, in any situation
Find love, whatever you do
Find love, a cause for celebration
Then it might come looking (Looking)
Come looking for you

He's just a young boy
Looking for a way to find love
It isn't easy, nothing you can say
Will help him find love
He's got to do it for himself
And it can take so long
He's just a young boy
Looking for a way to find love

Find love, a time for meditation
Find love, a source of inspiration
Find love, instead of confrontation
Find love
And love will come looking for you



'Used To Be Bad'

Well, no matter what you say
No matter what you do
You got one life to live
It's gonna come back home to you
I used to be bad
But I don't have to be bad no more
Yeah, people, I learned my lesson
A long, long time ago



'Souvenir'

When you're fed up shedding too many tears
And you're memories seem just like just so many souvenirs
I will come to you to ease the pain

If you want me, tell me now
If I can be of any help, tell me how
Let me love you like a friend
Everything is gonna come right in the end

When you're crying like a poor little child
And you're feeling like you never could be reconciled
Don't forget a word of what I'm saying

Everybody's got a handful of fear
But tomorrow it may only be a souvenir
Of the way it was till it went away



'Little Willow'

Life, as it happens
Nobody warns you
Willow, hold on tight

Nothing's gonna shake your love
Take your love away
No one's out to break your heart
It only seems that way, hey

Sleep, little willow
Peace gonna follow
Time will heal your wounds

Grow to the heavens
Now and forever
Always came too soon



'Great Day'

When you're wide awake
Say it for goodness sake
It's gonna be a great day
While you're standing there
Get up and grab a chair
It's gonna be a great day



The Beatles
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
George Harrison
Ringo Starr
