Fixing A Hole

(Paul McCartney – John Lennon and Paul McCartney)

Albums in which the song is present

1967 - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

PAUL 1967: 'It's really about the fans who hang around outside your door day and night.
'See the people standing there/ They worry me, and never win/ And wonder why they don't get in my door.' If they only knew the best way to get in is not to do that, because obviously anyone who is going to be straight and be like a real friend is going to get in… but they simply stand there and give off the impression, 'Dont let us in.' I actually do enjoy having them in.
I used to do it more, but I don't as much now because I invited one in once and the next day she was in The Daily Mirror with her mother saying we were going to get married.'

JOHN 1980: 'That's Paul… again writing a good lyric.'

PAUL 1984: 'Yeah, I wrote that.
I liked that one.
Strange story, though.
The night we went to record that, a guy turned up at my house who announced himself as Jesus.
So I took him to the session.
You know – couldn't harm, I thought.
Introduced Jesus to the guys.
Quite reasonable about it.
But that was it.
Last we ever saw of Jesus.'

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go

I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go

And it really doesn't matter if
I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong
See the people standing there
Who disagree and never win
And wonder why they don't get in my door

I'm painting my room in the colourful way
And when my mind is wandering
There I will go
Ooh ooh ooh ah ah
Hey, hey, hey, hey

And it really doesn't matter if
I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong
Silly people run around
They worry me and never ask me
Why they don't get past my door

I'm taking the time for a number of things
That weren't important yesterday
And I still go
Ooh ooh ooh ah ah

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
Stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go oh
Where it will go oh

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go (fade out)
