Paul McCartney : Driving Rain
Macca the radical. Just not here...
He hides it well behind that paternal smile, but Paul McCartney 's irritation at being considered the fluffy Beatle has clearly never quite faded. His last decade of interviews often feature slightly querulous statements along the lines of "I liked Stockhausen first, me," and his extra-curricular projects, from his painting and poetry to last year's 'Liverpool...

Paul McCartney - Paul Is Live: Wikipedia Album Entry
Paul Is Live is a live album by Paul McCartney released in 1993 during his New World Tour in support of Off the Ground.
The album's title and cover parody the infamous "Paul Is Dead" rumours that arose in 1969 after the release of The Beatles' last recorded album, Abbey Road: the infamous "281F" on the cover plate (purportedly saying that Paul would have been 28 had he lived; he was actually 27 at the time) was changed to "51 IS" (indicating his current age). Also featured on the album cover is one of the offspring of Martha, the sheepdog Paul claimed was the subject of the song 'Martha My Dear.' The cover photo is the original Abbey Road cover photo, shot by photographer Iain Macmillan. The retouching was done by CGI artist Erwin Keustermans by erasing the Beatles and putting in Paul and the dog, taken from 35 mm pictures by Linda McCartney.
Excerpted from his shows in Australia, as well as from various US cities, Paul Is Live followed the 1989-90 Paul McCartney World Tour Tripping the Live Fantastic extravaganza by only three years, confounding critics and fans as to its appearance (and even its necessity). As a result, Paul Is Live became McCartney's lowest-selling live set of his entire career, peaking at #34 in the UK and a lowly #78 in the US. The band lineup was also the same as on the previous tour, save for Blair Cunningham replacing Chris Witten on drums.
McCartney would take a noticeable break from his solo career, beginning the enormous Beatles Anthology project in early 1994 with George Harrison, Ringo Starr and George Martin, which would take up much of his time for the next two years, before finally returning with Flaming Pie in 1997.

Paul McCartney - Drive My Car Lyrics
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, baby, can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen?
But you can do something in between
Paul McCartney - Let Me Roll It Lyrics
You gave me something, I understand
You gave me loving in the palm of my hand
I can't tell you how I feel
My heart is like a wheel
Paul McCartney - Looking for Changes Lyrics
I saw a cat with a machine in his brain
The man who fed him said he didn't feel any pain
I'd like to see that man take out that machine
And stick it in his own brain, you know what I mean
Paul McCartney - All My Loving Lyrics
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
Paul McCartney - Good Rockin' Tonight Lyrics

Yeah, I heard the news, everybody rockin' tonight
Well, I want you to meet me behind the new barn
Don't you be worried I'll do you no harm
Paul McCartney - We Can Work It Out Lyrics
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone

I will always be hoping, hoping
You will always be holding
Holding my heart in your hand
I will understand

To lead a better life, I need a love of my own here
Making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there, there

And when I go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood, it's in the hands of my love
And my love does it good

Roll up roll up for the magical mystery tour step right this way

And your heart was an open book
You used to say, "Live and let live"

And head for the country, hon
