Love Me Do, the first song we recorded, John was supposed to sing the lead, but they changed their minds and asked me to sing lead because they wanted John to play harmonica.

More quotes by Paul McCartney
I think globally and act locally.
Paul McCartney
I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.
Paul McCartney
My thing is about following the accidental, more than trying to paint an accurate bowl of apples. I enjoy most following the paint. It leads me somewhere else. I think I enjoy just letting the magic unfold and letting the spirit of the paint tell me where we're going.
Paul McCartney
I knew the words to 25 rock songs, so I got in the group. Long Tall Sally and Tutti-Frutti, that got me in. That was my audition.
Paul McCartney
I'm trying to do it honestly and genuinely if some of it's not working to your taste, what can I say?
Paul McCartney
We got into music to avoid a job, and get lots of girls.
Paul McCartney
Somewhere down the line everyone must pay for their misdeeds.
Paul McCartney
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun...
Paul McCartney
All at once we see things in our skies, and we both realize it together. Well you know they were wrong, get on the right thing.
Paul McCartney
You're always looking at last year, or 10 years ago, or your school days, or your teenage years, your formative years. Because that's exactly what they are, they're your formative years.
Paul McCartney
When we were kids we always used to say, ‘Okay, whoever dies first, get a message through.’ When John died, I thought, ‘Well, maybe we’ll get a message,’ because I know he knew the deal. I haven’t had a message from John.
Paul McCartney
But you know, as a kid I would have thought of a vegetarian as a wimp.
Paul McCartney
I got my first guitar when I was 15, and I just used to fool about with it, more or less, as time went by, though, I got more interested.
Paul McCartney
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds actually wasn't meant to say LSD It was a drawing that John's son brought home from school Lucy was a kid in his school.
Paul McCartney
I do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.
Paul McCartney
We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.
Paul McCartney
If anyone wants to save the planet, all they have to do is just stop eating meat. That's the single most important thing you could do. It's staggering when you think about it. Vegetarianism takes care of so many things in one shot: ecology, famine, cruelty.
Paul McCartney
It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard 'Heartbreak Hotel' I thought, this is it.
Paul McCartney
Every love song I write is for Linda.
Paul McCartney
Be cool and you'll be alright. That's rock & roll religion.
Paul McCartney
