Paul was reading the newspaper one day when he came upon the story of Melanie Coe. A 17-year old who had ran away from home to be with her casino dealer boyfriend (I'm sure he was quite the catch). And so, with a little help from John, the song She's Leaving Home came to be. The funny thing is, Paul had met Melanie a few years earlier on the show Ready! Steady! Go!. Paul was judging a miming contest and he picked Melanie as the winner.
