Well, no, that's not true, they're just photographs of hairstyles, but all the people who come and go, stop and say hello. There is a bank on the corner, so we made up the part about the banker in his motor car. It's part fact, part nostalgia, for a place, which is a great place, with its blue suburban skies, as we remember it, and it's still there. We put in a joke or two, 'fish and finger pie'. The women would never dare say that, except to themselves. Most people wouldn't hear it, but 'finger pie' is just a nice little joke for the Liverpool lads who like a bit of a smut." (Paul McCartney)
