Originally released in 1982 on Tug of War and then 1984 on Give My Regards To Broad Street
Tug of War is the third solo studio album by English musician Paul McCartney, released in April 1982. It was McCartney's first album released after the dissolution of Wings the previous year. Overall, it was his 11th album since the break up of the Beatles. It was also McCartney's first album after the murder of former songwriting partner John Lennon.[1] The album was produced by former Beatles producer George Martin and was a number one hit in many countries, selling over one million copies in the United States in the year of its release.[2] Some critics hailed it as a return to form for McCartney. The cover is an abstract oil painting by the artist Brian Clarke, a frequent McCartney collaborator, incorporating an over-painted transparency of a portrait of Paul taken by Linda McCartney.[3][4] Its remastered deluxe edition received a nomination for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
Following the release of the solo album McCartney II, Wings regrouped in July and October 1980 to rehearse several songs which later appeared on Tug of War and Pipes of Peace. Feeling the need for direction, McCartney called upon his old producer, George Martin,[5] to begin recording a song written for the animated Rupert Bear character (to which McCartney acquired the film rights in 1970),[6] entitled "We All Stand Together", among others. The productive sessions continued until 9 December, the morning McCartney woke up to discover his old songwriting partner and fellow ex-Beatle, John Lennon, had been shot and killed the night before in New York City. Abandoning that day's session part-way through (where he and Denny Laine were recording future B-side "Rainclouds"), both Martin and McCartney felt it was best to leave the project for the time being and start anew once they were ready.

In February 1981, two months after Lennon's death, McCartney resumed the sessions, recording that month with Stevie Wonder, Stanley Clarke, Carl Perkins and Ringo Starr and laying down several songs in the process. The sessions were held at AIR Studios in Montserrat, in the Caribbean, and lasted from 3 February to 2 March, ending with "Ebony and Ivory" and "What's That You're Doing",[7] two songs featuring Stevie Wonder.[8] 10cc guitarist Eric Stewart also became a frequent collaborator of McCartney's during this period.[9] Further sessions that summer were undertaken at Martin's AIR studios at Oxford Street, London. The sessions were so productive that several of its tracks were held over for McCartney's next album, Pipes of Peace, which followed in 1983. The rest of 1981 was spent in a quiet fashion, with McCartney and Martin touching up the album and perfecting it


Wanderlust
Paul McCartney
Light out wanderlust
Head us out to sea
Captain says there'll be a bust
This one's not for me
Take us from the dark
Out where we can see
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not to be
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
Oh, where did I go wrong, my love?
What petty crime was I found guilty of?
What better time to find a brand new day?
Oh, wanderlust away
Light out wanderlust
Help us to be free
Light out wanderlust
Do it just for me
Wanderlust
Captain's out to make his mark
This one's not to be
Light out wanderlust
(Oh, where did I go wrong, my love?)
Head us out to sea
(What petty crime was I found guilty of?)
Captain says there'll be a bust
(What better time to find a brand new day?)
This one's not for me
(Oh, wanderlust away)
Dropping a line
Maybe this time
It's wanderlust for me.
