Sieben Jahrzehnte umspannend – von seiner frühen Liverpooler-Zeit über das historische Jahrzehnt der Beatles bis hin zu Wings und seiner langen Solokarriere – hat Paul McCartneys
Lyrics die Art, wie Künstler über Musik schreiben, revolutioniert, indem es die endgültigen Texte von 161 Songs mit intimen autobiografischen Kommentaren zu McCartneys Leben und seiner Musik verknüpft.
Alphabetisch geordnet, zeigen diese berühmten Kommentare die jeweiligen Umstände, unter denen die Songs geschrieben wurden, wie sie entstanden sind, und die bemerkenswerten, aber oft wunderbar einfachen Menschen und Orte, die sie inspiriert haben. Dutzende von Vignetten lassen das Liverpool der Arbeiterklasse von McCartneys Jugend wiederauferstehen, in der Lieferjungen Pakete auf den Docks auslieferten und Besuche bei älteren Damen in der Nachbarschaft "Eleanor Rigby" inspirierten. McCartney stellt uns auch seine frühen literarischen Einflüsse vor, darunter Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll und Allen Ginsberg, aber auch Alan Durband, seinen geliebten Highschool-Englischlehrer, und seine Mutter Mary, die verstarb, als er gerade vierzehn Jahre alt war.
Doch die beiden stärksten Präsenzen in
Lyrics sind McCartneys Songwriter-Partner John Lennon und sein "Golden Earth Girl", Linda.
