Sir Paul McCartney has denied writing a song about ex-wife Heather Mills.

'Nothing Too Much, Just Out Of Sight' on his new album 'Electric Arguments' with side project The Fireman, was widely believed to be about the former model - who Paul divorced earlier this year.

The 66-year-old musician added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: John and I grew up together and I think we were both as experimental as each other but perception-wise he was the more experimental one

Lyrics in the track include: "I remember you well/ Oh woman betrayed you/ I couldn't resist you/ When I made you."

However, Paul insists people are reading too much into the song, which is actually a sister track to his former band The Beatles' popular song 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da'.

He explained: "I didn't have anyone in mind. There was an African guy called Jimmy Scott who I used to meet in nightclubs in London during the 60s.

"He was the guy who said to me, 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on' and the other thing he used to say was, 'Nothing too much man, just out of sight.'

"I always thought that it was a great thing to say, so it was really Jimmy. I just flew off that line and shouted out things around it."
