I've heard that Paul wrote about himself at the time, even though many people think it's about Bob Dylan. He was struggling to express himself creatively (which is amazing given his extraordinary output of that era). But he felt he had to struggle to say what he wanted, he felt like an old, defeated, yet unbowed boxer.
It's my favourite S&G tune of all.
I used to play this album in the 1980s on vinyl, three or four times a night, probably every day of my life from about 9 through to 16, with those huge 70s' headphones on because it drove my parents bonkers
