Lyrics

Tell me is she everything I see
Or is she really not the one for me?
We know, and though some may disagree
But do they know the way we wanna be?

And do I still believe in stories I've been told?
Are all the things she brings me worth their weight in gold?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, pure gold
Oh yeah, oh yeah, pure gold

Building something, one thing made to last
And holding something special from the past

And do I still believe in stories we've been told?
Are all the things she brings me worth her weight in gold?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, pure gold, gotta believe me
Oh yeah, oh yeah, pure gold

And do I still believe in stories I've been told?
Are all the things she brings me worth their weight in gold?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, pure gold
Oh yeah, oh yeah, pure gold, come on over here, babe
Oh yeah, pure gold, pure gold, pure gold, pure gold

Everything she brings me is
Everything she brings me is pure gold
Everything she brings me is pure gold
Pure gold

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.
