Paul McCartney - Richard Cory (Wings Over America)
Richard Cory
by Paul Simon
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of this whole town,
With political connections to spread his wealth around.
Born into society, a banker's only child,
He had everything a man could want: power, grace, and style.
But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.
The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes:
Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show.
And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht!
Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got.
But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.
He freely gave to charity, he had the common touch,
And they were grateful for his patronage and thanked him very much,
So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening headlines read:
"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head."
But I work in his factory
And I curse the life I'm living
And I curse my poverty
And I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be,
Oh, I wish that I could be
Richard Cory.

| The video also has an eerie sense of immediacy to it as well....it has been preserved quite well that it seems like it is today, even though he is an old man now. I remember hearing this song in August of 1980 and watching it now makes that time come back to me in an almost over-powering way....same emotions and feelings from that time. I get the same feeling whenever I hear his "Tug of War" as well. I'm not a huge McCartney fan but these 2 songs really evoke deep feelings within my soul. |

| I doubt he hated it, he obviously thought about it enough to think that Paul was genuinely sad about something singing it. |

| This isn't exactly Paul's best song, or my favourite song of his, but watching this video I can't help but think just how amazing he is. |

| this song is very profound - it's just about telling your kids & loved ones to be careful, warning them about the dangers in the world...
because we need love from our loved ones. |

| I never forget this song. "Like a garden need the flowers, like a castle need the tower, i need love"... Our lifes are waterfalls for happyness or for sadness.
SAVE SIR. PAUL McCARTENEY |
