[Chorus]
At the end of the end, it's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And this wasn't bad, so a much better place
Would have to be special
No need to be sad

[Verse 1]
On the day that I die, I'd like jokes to be told
And stories of old to be rolled out like carpets
That children have played on
And laid on while listening to stories of old

[Chorus]
At the end of the end, it's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place would have to be special
No reason to cry

[Verse 2]
On the day that I die, I'd like bells to be rung
And songs that were sung to be hung out like blankets
That lovers have played on
And laid on while listening to songs that were sung

[Chorus]
At the end of the end, it's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place would have to be special
No reason to cry
No need to be sad
At the end of the end

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.
