Magneto and Titanium Man Lyrics

Well I Was Talking Last Night
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
We Were Talking About You, Babe,
Oo --- They Said ---

You Were Involved In A Robbery
That Was Due To Happen
At A Quarter To Three
In The Main Street.

I Didn't Believe Them
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
But When The Crimson Dynamo
Finally Assured Me, Well, I Knew

You Were Involved In A Robbery
That Was Due To Happen
At A Quarter To Three
In The Main Street.

So We Went Out
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
And The Crimson Dynamo
Came Along For The Ride

We Went To Town With The Library
And We Swung All Over That
Long Tall Bank In The Main Street

Well There She Were And To My Despair
She's A Five-Star Criminal
Breaking The Code

Magneto Said "Now The Time Come
To Gather Our Forces And Run!!!"
Oh No . . . . . .
This Can't Be So . . . . . .

And Then It Occurred To Me!

You Couldn't Be Bad
Magneto Was Mad!
Titanium Too!
And The Crimson Dynamo
Just Couldn't Cut It No More
You Were The Law . . . . . .

Cover art for Magneto and Titanium Man lyrics by Paul McCartney

Paul was spending some time with his son James. James was playing with his toys and explained to Paul the special powers of his favorite superheroes. It doesn't take much to spark Paul's super lucid imagination and iconic wordsmith skills into action. Paul is very close to all his children.

one of those songs you just can't get sick of no matter how many times you listen to it

Cover art for Magneto and Titanium Man lyrics by Paul McCartney

"We went to town, IN OUR LIVERY (as in "costumes") And we SWARMED all over That long, tall bank In the main street..."

At least that's how I hear it.

And, being a major Marvel Comics fan, I think the narrator of the tune is talking to either Rogue, or Mystique.

Great song. Comic book characters meet rock and roll. How many other "comic book" songs can you name?

The Comic Book lover in me sceams in delight at this song. Look at my screen ID: what do you think?

A catchy diddy-from Wings Over America. Talking Last Night planning sting You Were Involved In A Robbery learning about the suspect- So We Went Out to town -good guys to the rescue --catch her redhanded but -You Were The Law -can't bust her

Song Meaning

Actually, Magneto, Titanium Man and the Crimson Dynamo are bad guys. So, no, "So We Went Out" is not about the good guys to the rescue, it's about the bad guys trying to convince Paul that his woman is a bad person, but she's not, she's one of the good guys.

And this was from Venus and Mars, not Wings Over America. That was just the live version.

An okayish song, but it makes little sense from a lyrical perspective. Just another reminder that Paul McCartney did a lot of drugs.

Meaningless! This song like many of Paul's will be forgotten and will never stand up to the test of time. The only reason I could think of that might make someone notice this song in the future would be the fact that Paul was a former Beatles member; but you wouldn't of believed it by listening to this song.
