As much as I love "Soily," I'd highly doubt Paul would perform it because he's probably embarrassed about the lyrics. Recall the recent interview where he expressed embarrassment over the lyrics in "Rock Show". Imagine how he feels about "Soily"!
And I think they are some really cool lyrics! Hard to figure out what embarrasses him and what doesn't. What is so stunning about the lyrics to Lovely Rita? I think Paul is very proud of the invented people in his songs, like Rita and Eleanor Rigby.
There's tishloads of people in Soily too. The cat in satin trousers, Indians...farmers....priests....countrymen...etc
And forget about the Tommy gun

Eh, never understood what the fuss is about this one...sorry to disagree. There are so many more worthy songs for Paul to sing!

Some years ago I remember an interview in which Paul was asked about one of the stranger lines in Soily and said, "That must've been drug-induced."

People like myself like it because it really rocks, just watch Rockshow movie. As for worthy songs, he plays songs like "All Together Now" and "Benefit For Mr. Kite" which are not exactly songs people were dying to hear live so why not "Soily". Yes, there are other solo songs I would rather hear him play but IMO 'Soily" would be a great ending for the 1rst encore.

He could shave out the so called embarrassing lyrics just like he did with Rockshow when he performed that one live in recent years...I like the song, but always thought it was just a tad too long...so this could be the perfect remedy

I like Soily. Not sure McCartney will revisit this one. Maybe!

For years I used to wonder who "doctor dog" was.

If he does somehow revive "Soily" in concert, I'd rather he didn't shorten it in any way. I love the fact he brought back "Rock Show" a few years back, but I was slightly disappointed that he didn't do the whole thing.

I still remember vividly walking away down Wembley Way following the final show of the 75/76 world tour with my ears ringing such was the volume of the final encore, Soily. In fact I made it back to Liverpool street station and my ears were still throbbing. That number was so LOUD.

And Hitler's son! As far as Paul's fictional characters go, that ain't exactly Vera Chuck and Dave stuff...

We know for a fact he's "peeled" because Mike McCartney said they both were in his book "The Macs!"

I'm a little circum...spect about the whole thing...

I'd never heard this before. What a strange song. What does it all mean?
