Average song rating Although the Live At Glasgow-version is valued the better among fans, I don't mind this album version at all. The drumming is standard, as is through the complete album. Paul just isn't a very good drummer. He can keep pace, but that s about it. It's not really fluent. The rhythm is usually saved by Paul excellent bass and that's the point with this song as well. I don't think the brass is played with real instruments, but they make a great addition to the song. Vocals are pretty good as well: Paul would wish he could like that nowadays. Certainly not a one take song and it was well worked out: there's known rehearsals of this song with Wings. As stated, the song was a great live song as well. Bobber June 11, 2012
Average song rating The irresistable Paul McCartney hook strikes again. The 'Live from Glasgow' version of this song is, these days, by far the more the familiar and it is quite a strange experience to again hear the original, which sounds like it was programmed rather than actually performed.

Lyrics

You want a love to last forever,
One that will never fade away.
I want to help you with your problem,
Stick around, I say.

Coming up, ooh,
Coming up, yeah, yeah,
Coming up, like a flower,
Coming up, I say.

You want a friend you can rely on,
One who will never fade away.
And if you're searching for an answer,
Stick around, I say.

Coming up, ooh,
Coming up,
Coming up, like a flower,
Coming up, yeah.

You want some peace and understanding,
So ev'rybody can be free.
I know that we can get together,
We can make it, stick with me.

It's coming up, ooh
Coming up, see?
Coming up, like a flower,
Coming up for you and me

Coming up,
Coming up.

Coming up,
Coming up, I say.
Coming up, like a flower,
Coming up.
Feel it in my bones, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh.

You want a better kind of future,
One that ev'ryone can share.
You're not alone, we all could use it,
Stick around, we're nearly there.

It's coming up, ooh,
Coming up, ev'rywhere,
Coming up, like a flower,
Coming up for us all to share,
Coming up, yeah,
Coming up,
Well, coming up like a flower.
Coming up.
