THE LYRICS - 1956 TO THE PRESENT - PAUL MCCARTN...

From his early Liverpool days  through the historic decade of The Beatles  to Wings and his
long solo career  The Lyrics pairs the definitive texts of 154 songs by Paul McCartney with
first-person commentaries on his life and music. Spanning two alphabetically arranged volumes 
these commentaries reveal how the songs came to be and the people who inspired them: his
devoted parents  Mary and Jim  his songwriting partner  John Lennon  his "Golden Earth Girl" 
Linda Eastman  his wife  Nancy McCartney  and even Queen Elizabeth II  amongst many others.
Here are the origins of "Let It Be"  "Lovely Rita"  "Yesterday"  and "Mull of Kintyre"  as well
as McCartney's literary influences  including Shakespeare  Lewis Carroll and Alan Durband  his
secondary school English teacher.   With images from McCartney's personal archives-handwritten
texts  paintings and photographs  hundreds previously unseen- The Lyrics   spanning sixty-four
years  is the definitive literary and visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all
time.
