“That looks a bit frightening. I’d be worried if I were that cashier. It looks as though Topper is about to hit her on the head, just as she’s opening the cash-till.” -Paul
Apparently, halfway through one particular rehearsal, Mick preceded the next song on the list by yelling his customary '1, 2, 3, 4..' while the bassist was still taking a drag on his cigarette... When the band made it to the end of the song, everybody stopped on time except Paul, who hit two extra notes.
Joe: Why did you finish two bonks after everybody else?
Paul: Because I fuckin' started two fuckin' bonks after every fucker else!
When you get a great idea for a lyric, just push people out of the way, throw yourself on the floor, and write it down, because it only makes sense in the moment.
