It's a song saying, 'If you were here today you'd probably say what I'm doing is a load of crap, but you wouldn't mean it, 'cos you're like me really, I know.' It's one of those 'Come out from behind yer glasses, John, and look at me' kind of things. And it was kind of a love song really, not to John, but about John and my relationship with him." (Paul McCartney, July 1989)
