McCartney fans hail 'Mills' song

BBC Entertainment News

 

Fans of Sir Paul McCartney have been claiming a track on his latest album Memory Almost Full is about his break-up from ex-wife Heather Mills.

Mister Bellamy, the sixth track on the album, is an anagram of "Mills betray me" and fans on internet forums say it is about his divorce.

 

They cite lines including "I'm not coming down, no matter what you do".

 

Last year, Sir Paul, 65, said of characters on his songs: "I just make them up."

On Monday, it was revealed that Mills had been awarded £24.3m in her divorce settlement with Sir Paul.

 

Forum posts

 

Other lines in Mr Bellamy include: "No-one to tell me what to do, no-one to hold my hand."

 

One fan wrote on an internet forum: "Paul writes metaphorically.

"He can write a song about his relationship with Heather without actually saying the words Heather, wife, divorce or mistrust."

 

Another 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."

 

Speaking in a video clip on the Memory Almost Full website last year, Sir Paul 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."

 

He added: "I like giving characters names and just making them up and trying to make them fit."

 

Do you think Paul wrote Mister Bellamy about Heather or not?

The songs lyrics:

 

I'm not coming down

No matter what you

I like it up here without you

 

Go light, Mr. Bellamy

We'll have you down soon

 

No one to tell me what to do

No one to hold my hand

Bellamy's got a lot to do

And I hope that you'll understand

 

Nobody here to spoil the view

Interfere with my plans

Bellamy's got a job to do

And he's hoping you'll understand

 

Steady, Lads

and Easy Does It

Ooooh, don't frighten him!

Here we go...

 

I'm not coming down

No matter what say

I like it up here anyway

 

Sit tight, Mr. Bellamy

This shouldn't take long

 

In the delusionary state

No wonder he's been feeling strange of late

In the delusionary state

No wonder he's been feeling strange of late

 

Nobody here to spoil the view

Interfere with my plans

Bellamy's got a job to do

And he's hoping you'll understand

 

Steady, Lads

and Easy Does It

Don't frighten him!

Here we go...

Here we go...

 

I'm not coming down

No matter what you

I like it up here without you

 

(outro) Come down, come down to me (4X)
