New Paul McCartney single is called "Ever Present Past"...

Love these lyrics (in truth, some or all may have come from Linda who gets a co-write on one of my all time favourite tunes of Paul's.

Long Leather Coat

I'M ALL ALONE, SAID SHE,
NO ONE TO PHONE, NO ONE TO TOUCH ME.
I'M ON MY WAY SAID THE MAN IN THE LONG LEATHER COAT
AS HE STARTED HIS CAR.

I'M GLAD YOU CAME, SAID SHE
YOU GOT MY NOTE, YOU UNDERSTOOD IT.
HE SMILED AS HE HUNG UP HIS LONG LEATHER COAT
ON THE BACK OF THE DOOR.

STROLL ON BABY, STEP RIGHT IN.
HELP YOURSELF TO A HANDFUL OF EV'RYTHING IN SIGHT,
LET THE PARTY BEGIN.
STROLL ON BABY, STEP RIGHT IN.
HELP YOURSELF TO A HANDFUL OF EV'RYTHING IN SIGHT,
LET THE PARTY BEGIN.

OH, I LOVE YOUR COAT, SAID SHE.
(oh, I love your coat, said she)
HE SAID, WELL, THANK YOU.
(he said, well, thank you)
IN YOUR NOTE YOU SAID YOU HAD,
(in your note you said you had)
NO ONE TO TOUCH YOU.
(no one to touch you)
SO SHALL I GO THROUGH?
(so shall I go, so shall I go)
(so shall I go, so shall I go)

WHY, YES, SHE SAID, YOU CAN GO ON AHEAD
SHE TOOK OUT THE KEY
AND SHE LOCKED HIM INTO THE BEDROOM.
OH, OH, OH.

NOW I AM ALONE, SAID SHE,
SHE TOOK A CAN OF REALLY RED PAINT,
AND SHE SPRAYED UP AND DOWN ON THE LONG LEATHER COAT,
ON THE BLOODY RED FLOOR.

SO LONG, BABY, I TOOK YOU IN
JUST TO SHOW YOU THAT YOUR LONG LEATHER COAT
IS REALLY NOTHING BUT A HANDFUL OF SKIN.
STROLL ON, BABY, STEP RIGHT IN.
HELP YOURSELF TO A HANDFUL OF EV'RYTHING IN SIGHT,
LET THE PARTY BEGIN!

LET THE PARTY BEGIN! HO!

OO-OO-OO-OO,
OO-OO-OO.

WELL, LET THE PARTY, THE PARTY BEGIN.

 

I think he's saying that all his unfortunate events in recent history are troubling his mind, body and soul -maybe the worst events since the Fabs' break-up, John's and Linda's deaths.

 

Say you don't love him...My salamander
Why do you need him? Oh no don't answer
Oh no, I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart

...Im getting closer, My salamander
When will we be there? Oh no don't answer...lol


-Getting Closer (1979)

now, that is clever and funny
