For me, this song is Exhibit A that Old Man Macca has still Got It. With all the rockers who have everything and want to tell you how miserable and deprived they are, here's Paul McCartney telling you how it really is: he knows he's the luckiest man in the world and he's gonna dance and scat all over the delightful memories of being a boy, being a Beatle, and being Paul McCartney at age 65. In trying to give a picture of what this song sounds like if you haven't heard it, I would say that he takes George Harrison's "When We Was Fab" and sets it to the exuberance of "Ballroom Dancing". It is pure fun, and when you listen you will find it impossible to resist singing along with the scat lyrics... | Bruce Beatlefan | June 18, 2007 |
Lyrics
That was me, in the scout camp, in the school play
Spade and bucket by the sea, that was me
That was me, playing conkers at the bus stop
On a blanket in the blue bells, that was me
The same me that stands here now
When I think that all this stuff
Can make a life that's pretty hard to take it in, that was me
Well that was me, royal iris, on the river
Mersy beat n' with the band, that was me
Yeah that was me, sweating cobwebs under contract
In the cellar, on TV, that was me
The same me that stands here now
If fate agreed that all of this
To make a lifetime, who am I to disagree, that was me
That was me, accapella at the alter
In the middle of the picture, that was me
That was me at the party, sweatin' cobwebs
In a cellar on TV ya that was me
The same me that stands here now
When I think that all this stuff
Can make a life that's pretty hard to take it in, that was me
That was me, ya, that was me!
Spade and bucket by the sea, that was me
That was me, playing conkers at the bus stop
On a blanket in the blue bells, that was me
The same me that stands here now
When I think that all this stuff
Can make a life that's pretty hard to take it in, that was me
Well that was me, royal iris, on the river
Mersy beat n' with the band, that was me
Yeah that was me, sweating cobwebs under contract
In the cellar, on TV, that was me
The same me that stands here now
If fate agreed that all of this
To make a lifetime, who am I to disagree, that was me
That was me, accapella at the alter
In the middle of the picture, that was me
That was me at the party, sweatin' cobwebs
In a cellar on TV ya that was me
The same me that stands here now
When I think that all this stuff
Can make a life that's pretty hard to take it in, that was me
That was me, ya, that was me!
