Neutral Agreement Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No care in the world
The days all went by slow
You'd never grow old
Dinner time by five
Your parents they had time
To talk about your day
And night would fade away
Times they'll always change
Life will always change
The TV on by nine
Back then you had the time
To kick back on the couch
And never leave the house
Your mom and dad were fine
No arguments, just time
To talk about your life
And all the pain and strife
Times they'll always change
Life will always change
Linda McCartney where are you?
Your pictures remind me
Linda McCartney where are you?
Your pictures remind me
Linda McCartney where are you?
Your pictures remind me
Linda McCartney where are you?
The dance starts at ten
Your parents had a van
They took your brother too
You thought he'd never know
The girl of my dreams
Tall blonde and sweet
I'd love her all my life
Until the day i die
Times they'll always change
Life will always change
Linda McCartney where are you?
Your pictures remind me
Linda McCartney where are you?
Your pictures remind me
Linda McCartney where are you?
Your pictures remind me
Linda McCartney where are you?
The lyrics to Neutral Agreement's song Linda McCartney depict a nostalgic recollection of childhood and teenage years filled with simplicity, innocence, and family time. The opening lines "Remember when you were eight, No care in the world" immediately set a tone of bittersweet remembrance for times long past. The verses that follow describe family dinners, watching TV with parents, and the absence of arguments. The chorus repeatedly asks "Linda McCartney where are you?", comparing memories to the pictures of Linda - a reference to the photographer and wife of Paul McCartney. The lyrics capture a sense of longing for a simpler time, as the singer comes to terms with the inevitability of change in life.
The theme of change is revisited throughout the song, with lines such as "Times they'll always change, Life will always change". The final verse takes us to the dance where the singer falls in love for the first time with a tall blonde girl, an event that marks a significant but transient change in his life. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, underlining the idea that even as we move on in life, memories of the past continue to hold a special place in our hearts.
