Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five Lyrics

Lyric discussion by joeveto 

Cover art for Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five lyrics by Paul McCartney

I think it's about Linda. Not John. Think about Linda's activism:

She May Be Right She May Be Fine She May Get Love But She Won't Get Mine 'Cos I Got You Oh I Oh I Well I Just Can't Enough Of That Sweet Stuff My Little Lady Gets Behind

There are others (more probably many others: his career, the band, etc.) that compete for Paul's attention/affection for Linda

but Paul only wants her...She interests him, and so do her interests:

She may get love, but she won't get mine, 'Cos I got you...well I just can't get enough of that sweet stuff my lady gets behind.
