Fleetwood Mac Lyrics Auctioned : In a moment that felt more séance than sale, a handwritten lyric sheet by Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green fetched nearly £25,000 at auction in Woking. The lyrics, penned in blue ballpoint and corrected in black ink, were for the haunting 1969 single Man of the World—a track Mick Fleetwood once described as “pregnant with passion… a crying out.”
