File:Paul McCartney I Dont' Want to Confess ( Unreleased Song)

Very rare and unreleased demo

In the late '80s, Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello wrote a handful of songs that resulted in the biggest hits both of them had had in years.

Lyrics Did you have to confess Why'd you drag up that old mess Did you have to be so indiscreet What happened to keeping them guessing Why shout our deepest secrets To the tide comes rolling back again And cast in the direction of the sky

All I ever see is people who can't wait to say their piece So they issue their unmerciful release And you're the latest name to grace that celebrated list You think they'd make love letters won't be missed They're worth their weight in gold You and that small black dress Won't have to look so old Now the story is sold

I don't want to confess Why'd you have to share these things with everyone I don't want to confess Everybody knows by now the word is out But after you've gone I won't need to I won't have to I don't want to confess

I don't want to confess Why'd you drag up that old mess Did you have to be so indiscreet I'm determined to keep them guessing
