Too Many People Lyrics

Lyric discussion by TAFAREL 

Cover art for Too Many People lyrics by Paul McCartney

Well, It is quite obvious that Paul referred to John this entire song. "too many people never sleeping late" may refer to the laziness of John and "too many reaching for a piece of cake" may refer to the easy life Lennon wanted to live from then on. " I found my love awake and wainting to be" obviously refer to Linda Eastmas who was from that point one Paul´s partner.

'I find my love awake and waiting to be(made love to),now what can be done for you, she's waiting for me' I heard this was a referrence to the fact that on one occasion John found himself alone with Linda and apparently made a pass at her (tried it on) which she rejected. John left and when Paul returned she told him what had happened. So it's Paul saying 'yar boo sucks' she chose me over you!

Interesting perpective...sheds new light, thanks! Took a listen agian and I can see that, sweet! "Yar boo..." too funny!
