Mr. Bellamy
Paul McCartney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not coming down
No matter what you do
I like it up here without you

Go light, Mr. Bellamy
We'll have you down soon

No one to tell me what to do
No one to hold my hand
Bellamy's got a lot to do
And I hope that you'll understand

Nobody here to spoil the view
Interfere with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do
And he's hoping you'll understand

Steady lads
And easy does it
Ooh, don't frighten him!
Here we go...

I'm not coming down
No matter what you say
I like it up here anyway

Sit tight, Mr. Bellamy
This shouldn't take long

In the delusionary state (Easy)
No wonder he's been feeling strange of late (Easy)

Nobody here to spoil the view
Interfere with my plans
Bellamy's got a job to do
And he's hoping you'll understand

Steady lads
Easy does it
Don't frighten him!
Here we go...
Here we go...

I'm not coming down
No matter what you do
I like it up here without you

Come down, come down, come down, come down to me
Come down, come down, come down, come down to me




Come down, come down, come down, come down to me
Come down

Overall Meaning

The song "Mr. Bellamy" by Paul McCartney is an interesting reflection on the benefits of being alone and the freedom it provides. The singer of the song, who has climbed to a high place where they are out of reach, declares that they are not coming down because they like it up there without anyone else. The recurring phrase "Bellamy's got a job to do, and he's hoping you'll understand" suggests that the singer is using the alias of Mr. Bellamy to distance themselves from the people who might be trying to get them to come down. They are not interested in being told what to do or having anyone hold their hand. They are happy to be alone and free.
