But you know I became intrigued by the fact that many lyrics sites transcribe the words as you said-- "Love is luck." So I went back and listened to the original Beatles version, as well as more recent McCartney acoustic performances of the song. On the original I still think the lyrics as sung match what they have on Beatles.com. But on some of Paul's solo performances it really does sound like he's changing things subtly:<br /><br />Me I'm just <b>a lucky guy</b><br />Love to hear you say that love is love<br />And though <b>it </b>may be blind, <br />Love is here to stay and that's enough...<br /><br />I suppose "Love is luck" makes sense, but I don't think it would sound as good when sung, so that's why I am pretty sure what he's been saying is love is love-- whatever that means :)<br /><br />As you know, McCartney likes sounds and the lyrics need not always make sense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15313399142702413436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543355.post-24994387047791561272016-08-07T00:10:31.917-04:002016-08-07T00:10:31.917-04:00Hi there Mark,
I hope you're doing well.
Alw...Hi there Mark,<br /><br />I hope you're doing well.<br /><br />Always enjoy a Beatle/Paul McCartney-related post, so thanks for bringing this to my attention. Hate to break it you to though-- you still haven't got the lyric quite right-- correct lyric is:<br /><br />Me I'm just the lucky kind,<br />Love to hear you say that love is love.<br />And though we may be blind, love is here to stay.<br />And that's enough...<br /><br />But you know, even Paul McCartney's own website (https://www.paulmccartney.com/albums/songs/things-we-said-today) gets it wrong on part of the lyrics for this song-- instead of "Me I'm just the lucky kind" it has "Me I'm just a lucky guy"! Bad!<br /><br />This has always been for me a favorite. Maybe I'll record a quick version of it for you and post in reply soon :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Alex<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15313399142702413436noreply@blogger.com
