Off the Ground

	The title track "Off The Ground" convincingly stirs up fondly remembered images of long-haired dudes flashing peace signs and chicks with long summer dresses and love beads dancing barefoot in the sun. I'm pretty sure that McCartney wanted to create that sort of feeling with the remaining songs, but none of the others succeed at this level. One reason for this song's success (for me) is the prominent presence of Lovely Linda embellishing this song with her "la la la la la la's". I mean, how Woodstock can you get? Linda McCartney was one of the very few famous women who never seemed to lose that beautiful innocent hippy-chick sweetness that guys my age find so irresistable. What is Melanie Safka doing these days?	Bruce Beatlefan	June 28, 2007

Lyrics

There Must Have Been A Lot Of Heartache
For You To Sink So Low.
You Must Have Had A Ton Of Pressure.
Only Answer If The Answer's No.

I Need Loving, You Need Loving Too.
Doesn't Take A Lot To Get Off The Ground.

There Must Have Been A Lot Of Magic
When The World Was Born.
Let Me Be The One You Wish For,
One You Call For When You're All Alone.

I Need Loving, You Need Loving Too.
Wouldn't Take A Lot To Get Off The Ground.

Off The Ground, Off The Ground.
Fly Around, Fly Around.
Hear The Sound, Hear The Sound.
Off The Ground, Off The Ground.

Though It Takes A Lot Of Power
To Make A Big Tree Grow.
It Doesn't Need A Pot Of Knowledge.
For A Seed Knows What A Seed Must Know.

You Need Loving, I Need Loving Too.
Doesn't Take A Lot To Get Off The Ground.

Off The Ground, Off The Ground.
Fly Around, Fly Around.
Hear The Sounnd, Hear The Sound.
Off The Ground, Off The Ground.

Hear The Sound, Hear The Sound.
Off The Groound, Off The Ground.
Yeah Yeah, Off The Ground.
