Tiny Bubble Lyrics

If you're part of my love
Don't leave home tonight
While we're sleeping we can learn to see that
All the world's a tiny bubble
Floating inside
Those of us who notice are
Expected to hide
All the world's a tiny bubble
Floating inside, the truth

When I look in your eyes
I can see the sky
Shining down upon the perfect garden
All the world's a tiny bubble
Floating inside
Those of us who notice are
Expected to hide
All the world's a tiny bubble
Floating inside the truth

You can't imagine just what I've been going through
I wouldn't wish it on a soul much less on you
I well remember when my heart was free
My soul could laugh, so could we

If you're part of my love
Don't leave home tonight
While we're sleeping we can learn to see that
All the world's a tiny bubble
Floating inside
Those of us who notice are
Expected to hide
All the world's a tiny bubble
Floating inside, the truth

You can't imagine just what I've been going through
I wouldn't wish it on a soul much less on you
I well remember when my soul was free
My heart could sing, so could we

If you're part of my love
You won't leave home tonight
While we're sleeping we can learn to see that
All the world's a tiny bubble
Floating inside
All the world's a tiny bubble
Floating inside

All the world's a tiny bubble
Repeat to end

Cover art for Tiny Bubble lyrics by Paul McCartney

This is "Piggies" with different lyrics and tweaked a little bit. Maybe I'm hearing things, but I think he went into George's song. It reminds me of when George got sued for plagiarism when the tune was subconciously in his mind from an earlier famous song "He's so fine". To be honest, I don't know if it should have been counted as plagiarism, but his defense of subconcious (sp.) influence seems to have affected Paul McCartney. Just kidding, I just think they sound alike, that's all..

Good ear MHSL82! I knew there was something about the tune that annoyed me but I couldn't put my finger on it. Yes, there is a resemblance.

As to the song? This being off of the 'Driving Rain' collection ....

Like most songs in this ensemble it sounds underproduced and half finished. The lyrics sound like they might actually take us somewhere, but do not. The philosophy of the meaning misses its mark ending up sounding a bit insipid. Paul is good at that all too frequently. It's nothing that a more studious attempt at lyric writing wouldn't fix. Considering his circumstances - in mourning for Linda, his new love Heather, and maybe a dollop of studio time pressure - caused this patchwork presentation.

Musically it also sounds like he is only going through the motions. Paul has enough tune--smithing skill to coast better than most. There isn't anything to groove on here except the chorus is yet another meme that you will have trouble shaking afterwards - and you WILL wish you hadn't heard it in the first place.

Ultimately - one derives nothing tangible here.
