Will you still need me when I’m Sixty Four – Paul McCartney Hits the Age

Paul McCartney is turning 64 years old next week and I thought it a good time to reflect upon his life in relation to his song “When I’m Sixty Four”, which appears on one of the most famous and influential albums ever recorded, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The song was recorded in December,1966 and was before he met his first wife Linda Eastman. Paul was ending his five year relationship with Jane Asher at the time of writing and recording the track.

When I get older losing my hair, many years from now
Is Paul part of the Grecian formula age?? His hair is not as neat as I once was

Will you still be sending me a valentine, Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
No valentine from me or Yoko and what wine goes with your vegetarian meal?

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.
Question for Jane, Linda and ex Mrs. McCartney – Heather Mills

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
Living in castles must have been a drag

Sunday mornings go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
What “weed” are we talking about Paul? Remember Japan – the drug bust and prison?!

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
This Isle is located off the south coast of England and famous for their yearly music festival which has had Dylan, Hendrix and The Who produce recordings from their visits.

We shall scrimp and save
No need Paul, you a bloody rich except for Michael Jackson owning your own songs

Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck & Dave
Paul is a grandfather to Stella’s son Miller, not sure about any others

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Paul wants fan mail – anything. He needs to know if he is still relevant. Personally, John was my favorite

Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Match.com, maybe Paul is searching for the next Mrs McCartney Number #3

Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL
