McCartney, Paul - Tug Of War Lyrics






It's A Tug Of War
What With One Thing And Another
It's A Tug Of War
We Expected More
But With One Thing And Another
We Were Trying To Outdo Each Other
In A Tug Of War

In Another World
In Another World We Could
Stand On Top Of The Mountain
With Our Flag Unfurled
In A Time To Come
In A Time To Come We Will Be
Dancing To The Beat Played
On A Different Drum

It's A Tug Of War
Though I Know I Mustn't Grumble
It S A Tug Of War
But I Can't Let Go
If I Do You'll Take A Tumble
And The Whole Thing Is Going To Crumble
It's A Tug Of War

Pushing Pushing, Pulling Puliing
Pushing And Pulling

In Years To Come They May Discover
What The Air We Breathe And The Life We Lead
Are All About
But It Won't Be Soon Enough
Soon Enough For Me
No It Won't Be Soon Enough
Soon Enough For Me

In Another World We Couid
Stand On Top Of The Mountain
With Our Flag Unfurled
In A Time To Come We Willbe
Dancing To The Beat Played
On A Different Drum

We Will Be Dancing To The Beat
Played On A Different Drum
We Will Be Dancing To The Beat
Played On A Different Drum

It's A Tug Of War, A Tug Of War
A Tug Of War
What With One Thing And Another
It's A Tug Of War
We Expected More
But With One Thing And Another
In A Tug Of War

Pushing Pushing, Pulling Pulling
Pushing And Pulling

  1. J.... T....

    No matter how many times I see this, when Linda fades away at the end I almost get the chills

  2. L.... D....

    Who is the wierd looking dude behind him?

  3. s.... ....

    "It won't be soon enough for me"

  4. A.... P....

    💞😢😢💞💞💞💞

  5. J.... ....

    Another song directed at John Lennon?

    J.... ....

    well Paul says that from the whole album only one song - Here Today - is a song directed to John but oh. i don't buy it if I'm being honest. he was surely influenced by John's death. and maybe he didn't think like "ok I'm gonna write an entire album about him" but subconsciously it happened 100%. and also I don't think Paul feels comfortable with saying that A HELLA LOT of his songs are about John. like, A LOT. so of course he just doesn't reveal that to us

  6. D.... H....

    This guy is quite talented?....I think he has a future......

  7. A.... W....

    Beauty of a masterpiece timeless classic.

  8. T.... Q....

    This song sums up the relationship between me and my ex....and by remarkable coincidence the day she was born Hello Goodbye was No1....
    You say yes
    I say no
    You high
    I say low
    You say black
    I say white.....,
    It’s over now !!!

  9. j.... o....

  11. L.... B....

    Got to be george martin there

  12. �.... �....

    Это перетягивание каната,
    Но так случилось,
    Это перетягивание каната.
    Мы ожидали большего
    Но так случилось
    Мы пытались превзойти друг друга
    В перетягивании каната.

    В другом мире,
    В другом мире мы могли бы
    Встать на вершине горы
    И развернуть наш флаг.
    Придёт время,
    Придёт время,
    Мы будем танцевать под удары
    Совсем другого барабана.

    Это перетягивание каната,
    Хотя я знаю, что я не должен ворчать,
    Это перетягивание каната,
    Но я не могу отпустить,
    Если я сделаю это, ты упадёшь,
    И тогда всё порушится
    Это перетягивание каната.

    Придут годы, и, возможно, откроется,
    Чем мы дышим
    И какую жизнь ведём.
    Но случится это не скоро,
    По крайней мере, для меня.

    Это перетягивание каната,
    Но так случилось,
    Это перетягивание каната.
    Мы ожидали большего
    Но так случилось
    Мы пытались победить друг друга
    В перетягивании каната.

  13. P.... E....

    Paul has noted in an interview that this was in fact written after John's passing to tell John he loved him.

    As a huge Macca fan i must say this is in my top 3 songs by him.....

  20. A.... M....

    Linda is soooo cute

  21. D.... A....

    Today I was learning of the revolution on my school ,because of this big test we have to do or els we won’t be Abel to graduate something like that. And I just start whispering ‘’ it’s a tug of warrr in another world we can... every one was like who’s simpering that. And I just couldn’t wait to go home so I would listen to this wonderful song.

  22. F.... V....

    3:52 so sad and yet beautiful at the same time

  23. P.... G....

    Paul said He wrote this song as a good bye to John.

  24. M.... K....

    Tug the war is a great album with amazing hits “Take it away” and “Ebony and ivory”

  25. g.... ....

    Masterpiece of music. It's hard to believe that he has never done this song live.

  26. R.... R....

    to the lovely Linda - I only met you for one minute but that's all it took to learn why Paul loved you so much

  27. F.... D....

    masterpiece

  28. n.... a....

    Uma das mais belas composições do Paul... Linda!!!

  29. P.... S....

    One of Paul’s greatest songs. A classic.

  30. d.... b....

    Another great song love it

  31. J.... P....

    just i want to say ........PAUL IS THE BEST

  32. L.... W....

    One of my favourite songs.

  33. M.... J....

    It's a great song and video and nice to see Linda here man were do these years go ? . its nearly 20 years since she died its such a shame she was a lovely lady yet much criticized why I don't now . she was a good photographer her voice was ok on the wings records . she cared about animals promoted healthy eating and was a great mum and wife . why she was picked on is unbelievable god bless her I say !!

    M.... J....

    @ManUtdMrs Yeah, but I can't think of her name right now. He was married to her before the Beatles were popular. She resented the rock lifestyle and the marriage was falling apart before he met Linda.

    M.... J....

    He was in a serious relationship with Jane Asher but never married anyone before Linda ?@Douglas Hall

    M.... J....

    Maybe that's it. I could be wrong but I thought they were married. I know he was with someone when he met Linda.

    M.... J....

    I think personally on why Linda was so badly criticised, is that there were a lot of jealousy. Linda and Paul were well matched, and I think Paul has not got over the loss of of is bride, and who can blame him?

    M.... J....

    @Douglas Hall He never married anyone before Linda. He was engaged to Jane Asher and she broke it off after he cheated on her several times.

  34. �.... �....

    Любимая песня!)

  35. R.... R....

    All-time classic. If it was released as the first single it could have been a worldwide number one smash!

  36. M.... O....

    Linda was gorgeous in this video. Why oh why did people pick on her? And she was a dedicated mom. 

    M.... O....

    MrT Oldies
    After 3 years you get a reply - lol.
    Linda was and still is, Pauls greatest love in his life...and that is all that matters. The nay-sayers can go fuck themselves.
    Love the song.

    M.... O....

    I guess it was funny to hear her sing she was so bad. But she was fantastic in all other respects and she never claimed to be a good singer, I think Paul pushed her into it.

    M.... O....

    Had something to do with wives joining the band !

    M.... O....

    some people are just cunts thats why

  37. M.... O....

    Sounds like a disguised ode to John Lennon when you think about the lyrics. "We were trying to outdo each other...." and so on. Most brilliant song since "Yesterday." 

    M.... O....

    hola de que a;nio e esta cancion

    M.... O....

    Absolutely.....i think you are spot on....

    M.... O....

    Yes, it was:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u97_inloBmY

    M.... O....

    MrT Oldies m very much his competition with John, two alphas whose competition partly broke up group. John toned down and garbled by drugs and yoko, George resented Paul, fearing to blame John for being MIA, his first idol ,and Macca dragging last brilliant albums out of the group those last three years, but all hated Paul for working them too hard and finally breaking up.

    M.... O....

    I think the winner is the last man standing

  38. F.... S....

    EU AMO DEMAIS,ESTA MUSICA.MEUS PARABÉNS,PAUL MC C.

  39. F.... S....

    I LOVE VERY MUCH,THIS MUSIC.MY CONGRATULATIONS,PAUL MC C.

  40. E.... W....

    Yet it is the song with his deepest feelings Though he tries to muffle his emotion, it is there. It is a message for so many of us to consider people while we have them still around, whatever the situations and circumstances. One day it may be too late.
