Fans analyse Macca lyrics for Heather references
Paul McCartney’s fans believe they have spotted references to Heather Mills on the singer’s latest album, it emerged today.
The track 'Mister Bellamy' is an anagram of Mills Betray Me, and many think it’s about the breakdown of their marriage.
The sixth track on the 'Memory Almost Full' album includes the lines: “I’m not coming down, no matter what you do” and “No one to tell me what to do, no one to hold my hand.”
Fans on an internet forum believe the song is about McCartney's former wife Linda.
One wrote: “Macca wouldn’t be so blunt as to write a song specifically about someone (or a situation) and then say so, but you’d have to be a fool not to understand that he does write these songs.”
Another added: “He may not have consciously written about her, but the words certainly seem to apply.”
“Paul writes metaphorically. He can write a song about his relationship with Heather without actually saying the words Heather, wife, divorce or mistrust,” said another contributor to the online forum.
Speaking on his website to promote the album, McCartney, 65, commented on the ’Mister Bellamy’ track.
He said: “Who is Mr Bellamy? Well, I never know who these people are. Who is Chuck and Dave from ’When I’m 64’? Who is Eleanor Rigby? Who is Desmond and Molly from ’Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da’? I don’t know, I just make them up.”
The former Beatle recently finalised his divorce with Heather Mills, in a settlement which will reportedly cost him €30m.
