How many songs has Paul written?

Were there other names he composed under? (Pseudonyms) Perhaps there's other songs listed under other names.
I should really Google and check but off the top of my head I think he wrote a song called Woman, for Peter & Gordon, under the name 'Bernard Webb'.
I just checked under Bernard Webb (Internet search indicated Bernard Webb is pseudonym he used) and nothing was listed... but "World without Love" and "Woman" are listed under McCartney. 835 songs is quite an accomplishment though, and nothing to sneeze at! I looked up some other famous composers, the greatest songwriters of all time, and Paul compares very highly: (Composer with number of songs registered in the ASCAP) Richard Rodgers 1009 Paul McCartney 835 (includes Lennon-McCartney and other collaborations) George Gershwin 757 Cole Porter 752 Jimmy Van Heusen 735 Irving Berlin 575

Paul is getting lazy. His pace is slowing down considerably.

He's composed over 800 songs, recorded hundreds of songs, won numerous awards, and tours every year to countless numbers of fans all over the world... he's always worked very hard to make the best music possible for us, seems like he should be allowed to take it easy

The song Woman was issued as written by Bernard Webb, but later, after it was revealed it was Paul, they listed it under McCartney. World Without Love, although written only by Paul, was credited to Lennon & McCartney. Wikipedia won't show a direct link to the page!
