fun fact: Paul McCartney's birth name is James

lyrics

LYRICS

The singer of the boy band blew his mind out in a car
And all the major label heads could say
Was “Find another just like him, we cannot lose a star”
So they got a replacement lad to walk like this and stand like that
Then they got rid of the body straight away

And the ghost of James McCartney can’t make a single sound
And the ghost of James McCartney is dying to be found

The new replacement singer still played left-handed guitar
And made convincing faces for the fans
But something got real messy when he tried to write a song
So in came six or seven men to make it sound like it had been
But all ghostwriters are haunted in their plans

‘Cause the ghost of James McCartney can’t write a single word
And the ghost of James McCartney is dying to be heard

Today it’s been three times as long as when he was alive
And all the major label heads can say
Is “Boys, we’re in here way too deep, we cannot drop the lie”
So still that same replacement man’s imprisoned by this desperate scam
And he wonders if there’s any other way

But the ghost of James McCartney can’t say a single word
And the ghost of James McCartney is dying to be heard
And the ghost of James McCartney can’t make a single sound
And the ghost of James McCartney is dying to be found
