New Paul McCartney album

2005-Apr-17: Sir Paul's New Album, Timelines
The British press reports today that Sir Paul's new album, with the tentative title Timelines, is scheduled to be released on August 20. Sir Paul wrote two of the songs on the album as a tribute to Linda and one, entitled Comfort of Love, he wrote in memory of John Lennon. Another tune on the album, Hometown Papers, Sir Paul co-wrote with Heather as a musical revenge on Heather's critics in the media. These lyrics were printed in the Daily Mail:

Oh it had to be true,
because I read it in the news of my hometown papers.

He was wearing red,
when in the photo,
it was clearly blue,
'cause I saw it in the photo news,
of my hometown papers...

Said she was a gold digger,
Said that I was a fool,
Said I was rich, crazy, lonely,
She was beautiful, but crude,
I wasn't so surprised,
because that's the kind of s*** they print,
in the hometown papers,
Hometown news

A close family friend is quoted in the press as saying:

"Paul is so angry about what people have been saying about Heather. Writing is his way of expressing himself so it is no surprise that he has composed this song. Heather has been upset by a lot of the criticism about their relationship. It has really dragged her down, and he can't stand to see her so low. Paul has written the song for his new album. This is particularly written about the British newspapers because they don't get anything like the same sort of criticism in the American newspapers. There, the journalists still seem to be in awe of him as an ex-Beatle and Heather is taken seriously. Paul has written the song for his new album. He is presently deciding whether to definitely put it on as he knows this will stoke up even more problems with the press....It isn't often he'll be as open as this. He can't believe the treatment meted out to his wife."

Sir Paul's new album will also contain a track called Bushie-Tushie Jelly Jam, a critique of President George Bush's refusal to sign the treaty to ban landmines.

Sounds like an interesting song by Paul, but I liked it better when Michael Jackson wrote it.


Speculate to break the one you hate
Circulate the lie you confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate
As the hounding media in hysteria
Who’s the next for you to resurrect
Jfk exposed the cia
Truth be told the grassy knoll
As the blackmail story in all your glory

It’s slander
You say it’s not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You’d crucify the lord
And you don’t have to read it, read it
And you don’t have to eat it, eat it
To buy it is to feed it, feed it
So why do we keep foolin’ ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual, actual
They say he’s homosexual

In the hood
Frame him if you could
Shoot to kill
To blame him if you will
If he dies sympathize
Such false witnesses
Damn self righteousness
In the black
Stab me in the back
In the face
To lie and shame the race
Heroine and marilyn
As the headline stories of
All your glory

It’s slander
With the words you use
You’re a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And you don’t go and buy it, buy it
And they won’t glorify it, ’fy it
To read it sanctifies it, ’fies it
Then why do we keep foolin’ ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual
Everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual, actual
She’s blonde and she’s bisexual

Scandal
With the words you use
You’re a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And you don’t go and buy it, buy it
And they won’t glorify it, ’fy it
To read it sanctifies it, ’fies it
Why do we keep foolin’ ourselves
Slander
You say it’s not a sin
But with your pen you torture men
Then why do we keep foolin’ ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual
See, but everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Don’t make it factual, actual

You’re so damn disrespectable
