Lyrics
Doctor Tom is getting on
All he does is sign his name
I get things, my brainbox sings
But I’ll go down again
Play with fire, getting higher
Higher than a nine foot flame
My soul is spent and so’s the rent
But I’ll go down again
Wino Junko can’t say no
Wino Junko, eyes aglow
Pill freak spring a leak
You can’t say no till you go down again
This and that you crazy cat
Flying sideways once again
I’m in a spin, it makes me grin
But I’ll go down again
Wino Junko can’t say no
Wino Junko, eyes aglow
Pill freak spring a leak
You can’t say no till you go down again
Wino Junko can’t say no
Wino Junko, eyes aglow
Pill freak spring a leak
You can’t say no till you go down again
Till you go down (you go down) again
Till you go down again
Till you go down
Take what I need until I bleed
People will say I’ve gone insane
Ain’t scared to die, it’s such a high
Till I go down again
Wino Junko can’t say no
Wino Junko eyes aglow
Pill freak spring a leak
You can’t say no till you go down again
Wino Junko can’t say no
Wino Junko eyes aglow
Pill freak, spring a leak
You can’t say no till you go down again
Till you go down (you go down) again
Till you go down again
Wino Junko. Wino Junko

Paul McCartney: Music Is Ideas. The Stories Behind the Songs (Vol. 1) 1970-1989
With 25 albums of pop music, 5 of classical – a total of around 500 songs – released over the course of more than half a century, Paul McCartney's career, on his own and with Wings, boasts an incredible catalogue that's always striving to free itself from the shadow of The Beatles. The stories behind the songs, demos and studio recordings, unreleased tracks, recording dates, musicians, live performances and tours, covers, events: Music Is Ideas Volume 1 traces McCartney's post-Beatles output from 1970 to 1989 in the form of 346 song sheets, filled with details of the recordings and stories behind the sessions. Accompanied by photos, and drawing on interviews and contemporary reviews, this reference book draws the portrait of a musical craftsman who has elevated popular song to an art-form.

One of my favorite songs from this album. I was surprised to see that Paul didn't write it. I also love Medicine Jar!
LOved Paul & Wings, but Wino Junko stands out for me
