Notes:

This song by Paul was inspired by an actual event. One day while he was away from his St. John's Wood home, some teenage girls, known as Apple Scruffs, broke into his home. Although there were several in this group of girls, only one, later saying out of boredom, using a ladder, propped it up to the bathroom window, and got inside. She then opened the door for the others. There were two types of "Apple Scruffs" -- those that broke in and those that waited outside with cameras and autograph books. One such girl who eventually got to know Paul well as friends, would even walk his dog from time to time. Her name was Margo Bird. During this break-in, the girls took some of Paul's clothes, as well as some photograph's and negatives. One of the photos was a favorite of Paul's, a color-tinted photo from the thirties. Wanting this back, he appealed to Margo, who knew the culprits, and got it back for him. It was lucky, as when she located it, most of the other items taken were on their way to America. Paul describes the event beautifully in this song. The girls, being juveniles, by age, were then protected by the "silver spoon." His phrasing of "Sunday on the phone to Monday, Tuesday on the phone to me," is Paul's take where the neighbors who saw the break-in were calling each other, and him, to report it.
