    Hell on wheels

    I have heard two radio stations this week, play 'hell on wheels' by Paul McCartney, and then state that the song is named after his and Linda's Land Rover. Had a quick search through aulro but it doesn't seem to be mentioned....interesting bit of trivia anyway....

    But do you know the words?

    "Helen Wheels"

    Said farewell to my last hotel it never was much kind of abode
    Glasgow town never brought me down when i was heading out on the road
    Carlisle city never looked so pretty, and the kendal freeway is fast
    Slow down driver, wanna stay alive, i wanna make this journey last

    Helen (helen) hell on wheels
    Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
    Helen (helen) hell on wheels
    And they never gonna take her away

    M6 south down liverpool, where they play the west coast sound
    Sailor sam, he came from birmingham, but he never will be found
    Doin' fine when a london sign, grees me like a long lost friend
    Mister motor won't you check her out, she's gotta take me back again

    Helen (helen) hell on wheels
    Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
    Helen (helen) hell on wheels
    And they never gonna take her away

    Got no time for a rum and lime, i wanna get my right foot down;
    Shake some dust off of this old bus, i gotta get her out of town
    Spend the day upon the motorway, where the carburettors blast;
    Slow down driver, wanna stay alive, i wanna make this journey last

    Helen (helen) hell on wheels
    Ain't nobody else gonna know the way she feels
    Helen (helen) hell on wheels
    And they never gonna take her away

    Say bye-bye....

    He seems to have lost his higher notes along the way, which isn't surprising at his age, but he's still a legend.

    Of course he's a legend, he was a Beatle. I still shiver when I listen to Oh Darling!. and most of my music pleasure has died along with my hearing. However, there is no way I'll go to see him. He is way too up himself. He needed John's acerbic disdain for the system to keep him in check, in my view. But, hey, that's just me. I fully understand his popularity, I just don't share in it.

    I wish George was still alive. Him, I'd give a lot to have seen.
