LYRICS
With a little luck we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
With a little love we can lay it down
Can't you feel the town exploding?
Chorus
There is no end to what we can do together
There is no end
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you
And a little luck, we can clear it up
We can bring it in for a landing
With a little luck we can turn it on
There can be no misunderstanding
Chorus
With a little push, we could set it off
We can send it rocketing skywards
With a little love we could shake it up
Don't you feel the comet exploding?
With a little luck, with a little luck, with a little luck, etc
Repeat verse one
With a little love, we can set it off
We can send it rocketing skywards
With a little luck, we could shake it up
Oh yeah
Repeat verse one
Repeat verse three
Wow I need a little luck, I was diagnosed with cancer and I have surgery next week, and I am scared. This song reminds me of much better times, Please pray for me, Michele.
I hope all went well
I hope everything turns out well!!
🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏
Y'all are 11 years late. Either this person already got the surgery and recovered, or they died
Good luck my friend!
Music from the 70's was the greatest music, fun times & great memories
As a kid my Dad would play The Beatles and Wings albums . I haven't stopped listening. Pure classics. Thank you Dad. I close my eyes and were all back in the living room dancing and sing. Miss you
🙏 !
🙏🏻❤️ Special memories to treasure. I also raised my kids on the Beatles and Paul McCartney! My daughter & I saw Paul in concert together in 2014!❤️
Wings every time, more nuanced because it had the Linda touch 😏
❤
dad says hi petie, love ya son.
"There is no end to what we can do together!" Love this line! Underrated, amazing song!
It was a number-one hit in Canada at least.
We roses Azaas Fo
@@mosseisleyYTin USA too. Hit n1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Wish that paul play it someday, but idk. This song is an amazing example of smart songwriting.
I hear this music and am overwhelmed with nostalgia, sad and happy memories! All I can say is that I am so grateful for having grown up in the 70s!
I remember when this song came out...Had to wait for the radio to play it, or someone taped it😊
@@user-nl4qi5yc2e I have nothing but the warmest memories connected with this music, time and place! 😀
We were truly blessed to have our youths during this era.
This is what you call a good "pick me up" song. It's always perfect to listen to when you're starting your day. That's what makes a true '70s classic.
I'm 72 and have enjoyed his singing and songwriting for the entire time. God bless Paul.
Wings was a brilliant group, I have every album, Paul's pretty awesome, one of the greatest songwriter's of my life, him , John and George.
People in your age group, especially those several years older than you, had difficult experiences in the 1960's and 1970's and John, Paul, George and Ringo were always there! They will live forever in the eternal history of Rock and Roll.
Also, "If you take Rock and Roll music away you will have no music at all''.
Said by a young Korean war veteran in the middle 1950's.
P.S. ''They can send you to prison but they cannot get you killed in a war you don't believe in.'' Said by a (another) Korean war veteran in 1968-69.
2023 - Simply a beautiful arrangement. The synth sounds are luscious and peaceful at the same time. Lovely. I remember this song as a child when it came out, I could not get enough of it. Some things never change, I love this song. Thanks Wings!
The critics liked the synth arrangements on this song, calling them tasteful compared to a lot of other songs where synths were just thrown in because they were new and hip.
Especially at the very beginning. Has a celtish feel to it.
That synthesizer is 70s AF, and it’s AWESOME!!!!!!
@@jackieandrea Hmm? Never thought of that. Now, I noticed. Thanks!
Highly, highly underrated song. The line about the Willow turning his back on inclement weather gets me everytime. The Willow (trees) of course, are the most resilient of trees. A perfect analogy. For all of his accomplishments, fame, and fortune, I still don't think Paul Mccartney is appreciated as much as he should be. Thank God for Paul.
Yeah hes not that great. Hes written a LOT of rubbish
Paul is the greatest popular musician in rock... No one has got the hits he has on his back: with The Beatles, Wings and Solo artist...
Rubbish?! How uncultered can one get?!
Synthesizer. Wonderfull use of yhat. Perfect cy. And strings. Played and plucked gently. Just gies to shie you how wonderfull pauls ear is WOW. What a genious
There have been other great song
writers in the last century or so
but McCartney in terms of range
and sheer output really is unique !
The Music was already there - he
was the channel which God used
to deliver it to us.
I Love Wings. Rip for linda and denny...
One of my favorite McCartney songs
This and Silly Love Songs
Paul was without question, the most versatile of The Beatles; they were all the best in their own right, and much more could be said.❤❤❤❤
The "GOAT" of The Musical 20th Century!!!
Paul was the pop & John was the edge in the Band
When I see pictures of Paul, and, Linda, I smile, she was wonderful for him, and, he for her...
And both of them were AWESOME musicians
La esposa de Paul era Lunda...
La esposa de John Lennon era Fellota !
@@stevebinninger915 well no she was not
From the moment they met they only spent one night apart,
Yeah...they are a good pair
My very favorite McCartney vocal of all times. What an amazing song. A classic!
WE CAN DO IT JUST ME AND ME ???OR YOU AND I I THINK YOU AND ME HEE HEE
back to the egg ----My favorite Mcartney vocal
So true - it’s just brilliant!
My favorite❤
I'm 250 years old. I've loved Paul since the 1870's
150 is more accurate ☝️😉
Paul’s music is literally timeless, apparently.
YAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Same here
250? .., yeah , right!
Paul McCartney is the BEST. His music never gets old
Well hes not the best. And he had a lot of help. He writes pop songs. Some of them are very good. And there's others.
The thing that I remember most vividly about this song when it came out was it was the only ray of optimism on the charts. In the era of such songs as "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" and "You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore", this song was a breath of "positive" air. Thank you Mr. McCartney for keeping it upbeat.
I was about 14 when this came out. Eagerly anticipated by me. I saved all my paper-round money to buy it. I still have it now and I’m 60. You have to consider that this album came in the wave of Punk bands cropping up here there and everywhere (see what I did there!). Every track on this album is just gorgeous in its own right. Their three vocals are just perfect.
70s/80s kid falling in love with this song all over again. The only thing that comes to my mind- innocence!
I was a kiddie too. RIP Dennie!
A song for every generation.. Timeless!
Can't get the song out of my head now . Always makes me feel good.. . very uplifting. "There is no end to what we can do together "
I surely do agree...I like the turn corner sound when the music sounds like it was a thinking moment......
There’s is no end
Beautifully ,composed song. I still play it 50 years later. 🎉❤ joy 😊
Pure JOY! Family and love love love!!!
Absolutely beautiful masterpiece, one of the best songs of all time, legendary music from Paul McCartney, top of the line solid gold standard of excellence for over 50 years
With love
Agree, one of the best of all time
YEAH!!!!
Yes 💯
A perfect little orchestra of drums, guitar and synths. 🎶❤️
Right on. And Mac's vocals complement the music perfectly. He doesnt have a great voice but he knows how to use it.
His voice on the end of this is one of the best blues vocals I have ever heard, it is worthy of far more that it gets out there.
I was glad to see a few people here who also thought so, truly soulfull
Ron Wylie wings is underrated imo
What can I say, when Paul is a musical maestro with hits after hits, truly remarkable, my favourite Beatle
Right Ron, i used to sing it also but
Very soulful Ron and now sing
An excellent song from a stunning album.
Paul always seemed the antithesis of John with his lyrics. I love them both. Oil and water made gold!
Oil + water = gold...I like that chemistry!
Salad dressing.
@@blackmaleb Alchemcy,
Exactly it was a wonderful combination ...
paul was laid back and John was in your face...
What a pure, beautiful voice.
the last 55 seconds--the part they always cut out--gives goosebumps.
Ted877, you are so right about the last 55 seconds! Let us give thanks to the great Sir Paul McCartney for not only these 55 seconds, but hours and hours , days and days, and years and years, of creativity from 1960 to the present!
The radio edit cuts the guts out of the song...over 2 minutes, mostly between the 3:00-5:00 marks. My brother had the LP, so that's what I grew up on.
Promotional copies of the album came with a hot water bottle I believe.....
Amen, Ted! That last 55, the vocal by Paul, just turns me inside out! Gives me chills. My favorite McCartney vocal of all times. I LOVE this song!
I'd HATE it when the short version ended. They cut the best part!
Love it,...I remember as a 6th grader listening to Casey kasems count down every week just waiting for this song,.....then cranking the radio
Yes a great song, I remember in 1978, when I was 12,Paul McCartney a great singer
i was 11 and in 6th grade.Great times!
I was 12 too. Really good memories of that time thanks to songs like this.
Paul is our greatest!
Music genius of our times...
Been with Paul and the Beatles since 1964, never a dull song,
Lol!
Paul McCartney is a great singer I remember in 1978, when I was 12,I'm 55now still love the song.
Right On, LP!
You're awesome Ms. Lisa and Paul McCartney
I was 13.still love it as well💖
@@wesleylail9192 yes, and have a great night 😁
@@wesleylail9192 Right On!
Simpler times.
Better times.
💔
exactly...... much simpler
The "Good Old Days" weren't always good, and tomorrow's not as bad as it seems ...... BILLY JOEL, 1983
Amazing keyboard work, Linda Eastman McCartney...rest in heavenly peace.
Linda and Paul were absolutely brilliant ❤
Denny Laine too
And denny
Why is it that whenever I listen to this song my heart feels so joyful? Thank you Sir Paul for everything!!
Paul had the perfect raspy voice on this track. And I love this album cover for some reason. Linda looks like she's happy in this pic.
LONDONTOWN!!! 😌
@@danroybal3975 OK you're from London. And? Best parts of London are Hampstead, West Hampstead and Madia Vale. All too expensive for mere mortals. Nearest folk can get tae live in London is Luton; the ugliest town needs flattening to create a car park serving London. Great.
@@theflowerofscotland9737 a little bitter mate…what about Epping? Nice town, forest etc. and on the Central line!
@@paulrodriguez3795 Cyberstalker alert! The nut who hits back at everyone who says anything about an establishment figure for 25 years, manipulates the press and has an expensive, worldwide PR machine. I'm sure Paul McCartney is truly greatful for his wee cyberstalker defender, "mate". Boy, are you finished. P.s you're not clever, you're a nut committing an offence of Cyberstalking and I'm filling the form in now citing: "collecting information".
@@theflowerofscotland9737 wow you got me! How are you that intelligent?? I really thought you needed just a wee bit of travel instruction but who knew you were just that much more intellectually superior? I didn’t sorry mr man 😉
4:07 that sounds just like the leitmotif of a certain cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome.
That's thomas alright! :D
@@Mojave6005 and you, sir, are correct.
His name is Thomas! And he’s a really useful engine!
@@Offcialjacobpacewells bingo!
the unintentional foreshadowing that one of the Beatles would go on to narrate the series
This 45 brings back some great memories of the time when it was new on the radio. The moody synth break was like nothing else you'd normally hear at the time and still sounds very cool and fresh. Love this song.....
I love this song. It was playing at the gas station of all places today on my way to meeting up with old friends. Super awesome and the sun is shining
This song came out in spring/ summer 1978. I was in the USAF, military police , stationed in Plattsburgh, NY. This song brings back wonderful memories. It is September 2023 and I am still listening.
Hi
Thats now a industrial park !
In this Cold December this song warms me.
Yes I agree a great song Paul McCartney a awesome singer
Always think of my dad when I hear Paul McCartney songs. Good vibes, have a great day all.
Had this album on vinyl when it first came out. I'm a lifelong Beatlefreak and set firmly in the McCartney camp. Hours of listening pleasure was London Town for me.
My graduation day June 1978. I remember shortly after I bought Wings Greatest Hits on 8-track. Great memories I will cherish the rest of my days. Thanks Paul!
Hey, I graduared in 78 too!!
@@mikeruzza1463 Same here!
The best artist ever hands down 👇 much respect to Paul and all his accomplishments... Paul rock's and Paul stop's with you. From Oklahoma ❤️
Michael Jackson is the best artist ever then Elvis I guess Paul can be third
Great tune!! Makes you feel good!! You know it is when it reaches down and grabs your soul.
Never waste a good tune 😊 Just start jamming when the song is over.
Yesterday I was in front of that bridge with my family and to myself I sang this song, then I was at Abbey Road!
with a little luck ... I hope to go back to London!
I'm jealous.
If I could go back and live any decade in my life over again, it would without question be the 70's ..
Walking home from school for lunch and watch Pipkins Hartley Hare, Pig, Topov, Octavia and get back before bell.
Nah..the 60's had the best music
and relive cultural highlights like those gigantic collars, awful earthy tones for decor and drive the legendary lemons of the 1970s.
My records still work in 2024. No need to return.
There were so many hits in the 1978-1981 range with that lovely mix of synths and electric piano by Wings, Steely Dan, Ambrosia, Gary Wright, Supertramp, Sniff n’ The Tears, etc and it all takes me back to being 10-12 years old in the back of my parents car fighting with my sister
Love this song. Love this album. I am a huge fan of James Paul McCartney
I'm a fan of James McCartney. Back to the Egg 🥚. 🏴 Let us go!
Te quiero Paul!!! Tu música siempre en mi vida...no sé qué sería de mi sin tus canciones.
Lo mismo para mi
I discovered this song while i was taking down my cats Lost Cat posters. Such a good feeling. And this song was the icing on the cake. Found him after 15 days, 18 hours on Thanksgiving 2023 at 2am. The next night, i went out taking all the posters and flyers down when this came on the radio. Thank you Cool 101.7
Sadly, there _is_ an end, and it came for Denny Laine yesterday (5 December 2023). He's the leftmost one on the _London Town_ album cover above. He died of interstitial lung disease. Laine was also a founding member of the Moody Blues. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his work with that band in 2018, and he also gets a songwriting credit - alongside Paul McCartney, of course - for _With A Little Luck._
It is always sad when an artist dies...
''NOTHING BEAUTIFULL IN THIS WORLD IS EVER REALLY LOST, ALL THINGS BELOVED LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER!'' Said By A Native American Elder.
Yes Denny Laine the haunting lead vocal on Go Now by the Moody Blues, but left after their first album. RIP. 😢
What I love about this song is so much positively...always cheered me up... The ending is Brilliant ❤️
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Imelda🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
Yes!
En effet quelle fraicheur de jeu, quelle attitude positive.
J'ai toujours aimé la contribution de Denny Laine aux Wings, sa voix, ses rythmiques acoustiques comme sur Mull of Kintyre Children children, Don't let it bring you down..
Café on the left Bankest si puissant si rock...
London town est une pièce majeure, un album qui marqua l'année 78, une empreinte à ma jeunesse. Love !
Love always wins. Beautiful song, Sir Paul McCartney.
He has written and performed some amazing music throughout our lifetime that will be played for eternity 🙏
Thank you so much, sir Paul
I love everything about Paul McCartney
This song is so😍 cool 👌 it relaxes my weary mind one of Paul's most amazing greatest compositions of all time ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow! That's so sweet of you to have said about "Paul", Katy🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Well thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
love this song.
Sir PAUL IS Amazing man
@katy Martin... The same exact thought I was thinking. So relaxing, and that last minute of the song always sends chills down my spine!
Yes I agree a great song, and Singer
Three kinds of people in the world:
1. True genuises in their own right
2. People who recognize and appreciate that genius
3. Everyone else.
Absolutamente buenísimo, que buenos y gratos recuerdos de aquellas inolvidables décadas musicales. Fueron las bellas épocas.
RIP Ms. Linda Eastman & Mr. Denny Lane. You'll be back one day!!! GUARANTEED!!! Thank you, Sir Paul for your historic contribution to the world of music.
Released a little over a month after Baker's Street, both have that great synth sound I love.
A great era of music
This was my favourite song to listen to in headphones while walking up early mornings before school.
One of my favorite Paul McCartney and Wings songs. Just beautiful how it blends together. The Rhodes and synthesizers in harmony. 🎵🎵🎹🎹🎹
This is THE masterpiece of of the 70's Synth Era.
It's a lovely song. You may also like "Follow you Follow me" by Genesis. Same year 1978
It's not the best of the era.
are we not going to talk about how 4:07 to 4:10 sounds like thomas's theme from thomas and friends season 1
Great Talent, Great Music! Sir, Paul McCartney!
Why do we have to get old.
I just want to stay in the 60s 70s and 80s.
I'm with you
With a little luck WE will😊
@@Richard-zi3dy fingers crossed richard🤣
I listen to this song every time I feel down, and it lifts me right back up again.
What I wouldn’t give have the world like we had when this was a hit.
What can I say about Paul McCartney. ❤️ Genius. Talented singer- songwriter. He can do no wrong. Oh boy. I had the biggest crush on him when I was 14!! That was in the 1970's. ☺️☺️☺️😎😎 Best childhood ever!!!
I still have the biggest crush on him in my 40’s 😂
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
This song hit the charts when I was in middle school, getting bullied every day. It fills my heart with love and gratitude that I made it through and ah, life is grand and beautiful despite all the pain.
Bless You.

Those were the days. 👍👍
Funny... from the Sunburn movie soundtrack with Farrah 'Charlie's Angels' starring in.
I was 20... loved several tracks on this LP.
This is one of my earliest memories of music as a child. I was 4 years old when this came out, and it takes me back to going to the drive-in movie with my family. Can't tell you what movies was playing, but I remember this song.
I was fourteen. You missed Grease, Superman and Halloween. But you didn't miss this great song.
One of the best songs of all time
What can I say all your songs are good God bless you Paul McCartney for ever
One of the coolest most creative & talented songwriter,musician,singer,
arranger,producer to ever play,perform & record music..thanks for posting
Always thought this was one of Maccas best vocal performances ever, such an atmospheric feel good song too...
My sister always used to say this song makes her feel melancholy or sad, as it was a time we were reunited after many years. She passed away almost a year ago. Now it's me who feels the melancholia.
🙏🙏 🙏
Sorry for your loss. I get what she was saying though.
thank god for the long version.

Just great. I thank older brother's for inheriting their musical tastes. I'm a big fan of Paul McCartney since The Beatles...
This song will always remind me of being 15, in boarding school, packing up at the end of the year, all of my friends, some of whom are gone now, coming by to say bye & give me keepsakes, sign my yearbook, all the sweet things.
I am 2 yrs older...I hope your life has been a good one!!!those days were the best!!!
I absolutely love this song by Paul McCartney And Wings from 1978

私はこの頃のたくさんの曲（ポール以外の曲も含めて）が､今の曲より好きです。あの時代に生きていて幸せでした✨😭12歳で出会って47年間､そしてこれからもずっとポールが大好きです💖Paul McCartney､心からありがとう💐
Really reminds me of the 70s with my dad, going to school, everything we did in the family. I miss those days
RIP Denny Laine who had a terrific song (Deliver Your Children) from this album.
Interesting partnership McCartney and Laine enjoyed for so long in the 70's.
I love Sunday morning with my coffee and Wings blasting in my ears. Thanks for all the great music Paul ☺️
Just want to go back to this great era and live it all over again!!! This song just evokes so many wonderful memories . Wings certainly delivered such superb ,positive ,thought provoking music.

Love simple and silly songs by Sir Paul, all about love and friendship, always bright and happy!
This got so much play in 78, I got sick of it. Since then, it hasn't been played a ton and I'm very nostalgic for it. It's a period piece and reminds me of what 78 was like, especially the long version
This was one of my very first childhood 45s. At 9 years old, I used my allowance to buy the record, rushed home from Tower Records on my bicycle, clipped in the little yellow adapter, and listened to it over & over & over again. 45 years later, and I still listen to it over & over & over again.😊
Such memories. Listening in 2024
Sir Paul McCARTNEY, you are the best of the best ! thank you so much for all your lovely songs ! I wish you long happy life !
Sir Paul McCartney’s music helps me stay optimistic and helps me to look at the positive side of life🎉
Paul's lyrics are sophisticated and poetic. John's are more raw and straightforward, but I love them both. Their harmonies were incredible. Bet they missed singing together after the break up
"More raw and straightforward," eh? *"Why don't we do it in the road?"* - Yep, I reckon you're right!
Paul was the poet & the Pop of the Beatles & John was the Edge, they worked so seemingly Together
Lennon era el poeta maldito
Love the 🎹 solo around 4:00
Thomas the Tank Engine
heard this on my local radio station, it's a good song and I INSTANTLY knew Paul made it. He just has a way with being able to be recognized no matter what song style it was
The song was released in 1978; my eldest son was 2 years old, and he's now 47. It was a long time ago, but I've never forgot the words.
