McCartney has often said that there was a rivalry between him and Lennon, they would try and out do the other which we have all benefited from in songs that are still some of the best stuff 60 years later. There was (as well documented) a lot of acrimony between all four Beatles especially Paul and John, and they were still trying hard to out do each other after the break-up eg: Lennon's "How do you sleep" and McCartney's "Jet". Pundits like to blame Yoko for the break-up, maybe she was part of it but there must have been lots of other stuff like affairs with other bandmates wives, The feeling of invasion by Yoko during recording sessions etc. Don't forget Ringo was first to leave the band during the recording of the white album. There's lots we don't know and may never know. I hate "Let it be" due to the depressing way they were depicted in the original film and the awful recording techniques used with several producers used, excluding George Martin but including Phil Specter. Shambles! It's a shame as there are some great songs on the album.     

I'm glad you got the innuendo, to me it started as a break-up song using car parts as a metaphor, but after the second verse it got to be like hard work trying to be dirty yet clean?
Thanks, check your inbox....     

I think you've described yourself to the tee! Some are born great, others have greatness thrust upon them. You come into the first category, a natural leader yet too humble to expect the rank and file to follow you. Keep doing what you're doing with these word pictures.     

Well said Brian. Just shows how bad lockdown actually was, time slowed down or seemed to... I hope what Brian said is a help to Mojo?     

Can't you bring it closer Graham?     

Jim your guitar playing has improved and your singing is on the nail as is the song. well done buddy.     

A great song in your laid back style. Lovely melody and performed well. It took me to the second verse to realise you were talking about your guitar. I'll try it out later tonight.     

Looking forward to hearing it. I've done some modifications and it's now a line dancing song!

When I wrote the first line the contenders were... Argentina, Afghanistan and Kentucky, I didn't know how the song would develop  at that time. I think Mexico was a good fit?     

Jeff, I've actually been there and it's lovely, I picked there because of the border and programmes like "queen of the south" that make it sound so dangerous!
Thanks for trying it out, I've tried it at the speed I wrote it and it's just not right, so I'll start again a little slower. I'd like to hear how you've done it if possible?     

Pete, those Mexican muggers are all heart?

Jim, sometimes it's how I feel when everything goes wrong. The best bit of luck I ever had was marrying Ann.     

Not just June but June 2 years ago!
BTW, Welcome to Chordie     

Jim, you put a hanky or piece of cloth near the bridge of an electric guitar, weave it between the strings so that it deadens the ring of the strings. I don't know if it would work on an acoustic guitar.
