Paul McCartney ha revelado la lista de las 154 canciones que aparecen en su próximo libro The Lyrics. La selección, que abarca toda la carrera, también incluye la letra de una canción de los Beatles no grabada, «Tell Me Who He Is». Durante la redacción del libro, se descubrió la letra escrita a mano en uno de los cuadernos de McCartney, que se cree que data de principios de la década de 1960. Vea a continuación la lista completa de canciones que aparecerán.
Las letras: 1956 to the Present, que consta de dos volúmenes, se lanza el 2 de noviembre. McCartney explica la premisa del libro: «Más veces de las que puedo contar, me han preguntado si escribiría una autobiografía, pero nunca ha llegado el momento. Lo único que siempre he conseguido hacer, ya sea en casa o en la carretera, es escribir nuevas canciones. Sé que a algunas personas, cuando llegan a cierta edad, les gusta acudir a un diario para recordar los acontecimientos cotidianos del pasado, pero yo no tengo esos cuadernos. Lo que sí tengo son mis canciones, cientos de ellas, que he aprendido que sirven para lo mismo. Y estas canciones abarcan toda mi vida».
