I read an interview with McCartney in which he said Nigel (the producer) would tell him when a line in a song was "crap" or needed more work. Paul said that he doesn't have that too often--he recognizes that people tend to say "yes" to him to please him--and it shows in the songs. I listened to DRIVING RAIN again this weekend and in just about every song, there are lines that made me wince, if not cringe. There just aren't any of those on C&C--nothing more than a smirk at "take it on the chin" or "nanny bakes fairy cakes" lines that could MAYBE have been improved.
