I would say to my father - let's get lost. But you could never seem to be able to get really lost. All signs would eventually lead back to New York or wherever we were staying! Then, when I moved to England to be with Paul, we would put Martha in the back of the car and drive out of London. As soon as we were on the open road I'd say, 'Let's get lost' and we'd keep driving without looking at any signs. Hence the line in the song, 'Two of us going nowhere'. Paul wrote Two Of Us on one of those days out. It's about us. We just pulled off in a wood somewhere and parked the car. I went off walking while Paul sat in the car and started writing. He also mentions the postcards because we used to send a lot of postcards to each other." Linda McCartney A Hard Day's Write, Steve Turner [ Reply ]

SweTex wrote: I got that from a book I found on Amazon called " My life in nylons and suspenders" written by Sir Derek Clive and that particular story's in the fourth chapter. I'm assuming you wouldn't want to call Sir Derek a liar. He used to be a very respected European director, free form artist, art collector and militant atheist. He tragically died in 1989 from a spider bite. [ Reply ]

He met the brittish director and art collector Sir Derek Clive in a bar one night, and Clive asked him to write a tune for the movie he was filming at the moment, called "The mirror never talks back, or does it?". Ringo went up to his room and wrote the melody using George's guitar but when he presented it to Paul and John they turned it down. Ringo has always claimed they stole the tune and just added the words to it. The film completely flopped, btw. Now did this happen before or after monkeys flew out of Ringo's ass? [ Reply ]
