My favorite bit is when Paul expressed some hesitation to John about the line "The movement you need is on your shoulder", and John told him that it was the best line in the song. The line stayed as is and to this day Paul needs some extra composure when singing the line. Brings a lump to my throat.
I always loved the line : "For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool/By making his world a little colder."

I think Paul was often a far better word-man than he is usually given credit for. Some of his lyrics come dangerously close to, dare I say, poetry.
(And at the risk of veering off-topic, I want to add that I have a tremendous respect for him. Not merely as a performer, but as a man. Certainly not without flaws, but still something a little rare. Super-successful singer/songwriter: lives out on a farm, has a bunch of kids, stays with the same woman--held her as she died. That's a human being.)
