Joyride

From the booklet of the greatest hits compilation Don't bore us...: Per: The fourth #1 in America. It all started with a message my girlfriend left on the piano: "Hello, you fool - I love you" Sounds like a chorus, I thought. Got the title from an interview with Paul McCartney, where he said that writing songs with John Lennon was a long joyride.
