Here are the origins of "Let It Be" "Lovely Rita" "Yesterday" and "Mull of Kintyre" as well as McCartney's literary influences including Shakespeare Lewis Carroll and Alan Durband his secondary school English teacher. With images from McCartney's personal archives-handwritten texts paintings and photographs hundreds previously unseen- The Lyrics spanning sixty-four years is the definitive literary and visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
