he did not lift anything, did i say that he did?
I said he wrote the tune before he wrote the words. I said"so it seems MacColl fitted words to tunes when he wrote songs, which may be useful info for aspiring songwriters, this was apparently what MacCartney did for the beautiful song Yesterday."
I never said PAUL MAC wrote words to traditional tunes, or that he lifted tunes from anyone else, read my post again , if its not clear go to specsavers.
