paul mccartney will be 64 this sunday. poor old bastard. :D

i can't help but find humour in this lyric from when i'm sixty-four:

"give me your answer, fill in a form" - divorce papers, maybe?? :p sorry, paul. cheers, mate!!
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self

    I think he'll be ok. Hell, he's probably laughing about it himself. That's one good thing about age, you develop a sick sense of humor. :)

    That's wierd, I was just listening to Sgt. Pepper's and thinking that Paul must be getting close to 64 when this song came on. Didn't know he was that close though!

    I bet it's weird for him to think back to how far off 64 probably felt when he wrote the song.

    Happy Birthday, Paul.

    Not only will Paul be 64, but it appears as though his woman will not be standing near him ...

    When I get older losing my hair,
    Many years from now.
    Will you still be sending me a valentine
    Birthday greetings bottle of wine.

    If I'd been out till quarter to three
    Would you lock the door,
    Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
    When I'm sixty-four.

    You'll be older too,
    And if you say the word,
    I could stay with you.

    I could be handy, mending a fuse
    When your lights have gone.
    You can knit a sweater by the fireside
    Sunday mornings go for a ride,

    Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
    Who could ask for more.
    Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
    When I'm sixty-four.

    Every summer we can rent a cottage,
    In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
    We shall scrimp and save
    Grandchildren on your knee
    Vera ,Chuck & Dave

    Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
    Stating point of view
    Indicate precisely what you mean to say
    Yours sincerely, wasting away

    Give me your answer, fill in a form
    Mine for evermore
    Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
    When I'm sixty-four.
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.
