Belle & Sebastian - Storytelling Lyrics
Picture A Scene In Your MindLook At All The People And Take Note Of The Setting BehindListen, Watch, And WaitA Plot Beings To Take ShapeThere's A StoryAnd Then Characters Will Come To YouRelating Events As They Choose ToBut All Their Words And Actions Come Entirely From YouIf You're A Storyteller You Might Think You're Without ResponsibilityAnd You Can Lead Your Characters Anywhere You WantYou Have ImmunityHave You Considered The WayPeople Might React To All The Things That Your Characters Say?And Are Their Actions Hand In Hand With What You Want To Portray?Are You Sick?Arre You Crippled? Insane?Expressing The Desires That Daren't Speak Their Name?Are You The One To Blamed?Now You're A Storyteller You Might Think You're Without ResponsibilityBut In Directions, Actions And WordsCause And EffectYou Need Consistency How Can You Finish The Tale?Lives Which Have Played A PartAre Summarised From The Very StartAnd Episodes Left Out To Make It All Go Your Way"it's A Mighty Big World Some Of It I've SeenBut Mostly I've Only HeardAnd Stories Are All Fiction From Their Moment Of Birth"You're Just A StorytellerYou're Not Trying To Escape ResponsibiltyIf We Believe You Then You're SuccessfulBut You Don't Make Claims Of Verity
