Bad was a 1987 hit recording by American singer Michael Jackson. The song was the second of five Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit singles from the album Bad, and was his seventh number-one single overall. Michael Jackson stated: "'Bad' is a song about the street. It's about this kid ... who gets to go away to a private school. He comes back to the old neighborhood and his old friends start giving him trouble. He sings, 'I'm bad, you're bad, who's bad, who's the best?' He's saying when you're strong and good, then you're bad. Read more on Last.fm.

[Intro]
Evening marks the close of day
Skies of blue begin to grey
Crimson hues are fading in the west
Evening ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be
Memories of those I love the best

[Chorus 1]
When shadows fall and trees whisper, day is ending
My thoughts are ever wending home
When crickets call, my heart is forever yearning
Once more to be returning home

[Chorus 2]
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peeping, one by one
Night covers all, and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me home
Take me home

[Chorus 2]
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peeping, one by one
Night covers all, and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me home

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
