"Epic", or "the quoting of a life-time"

Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying! Play me a song to set me free! (Belle & Sebastian)

Since I don’t have you (Guns and Roses), I’m a real nowhere man (The Beatles), and I guess that I just don't care (The Velvet Underground - Heroin) – and I don't need to be forgiven (The WhoBaba O’Riley). What is it I must do to pay for all my crimes? What is it I must do? I would do it all the time (Belle & SebastianThe boy done wrong again)… Sometimes I wish I'd never been born at all (QueenBohemian rhapsody); sometimes I wonder should I stay or should I go (The Clash) straight to hell (The Clash). Sometimes I dream I'm a fisherman, sometimes I dream I'm a millionaire, and sometimes I dream I'm a true lover (Antsy Pants - Sometimes). Sometimes I feel so happy, sometimes I feel so sad; sometimes I feel so happy, but mostly you just make me mad, baby you just make me mad (The Velvet UndergroundPale blue eyes)- though in the end it's always me alone (The CardigansMy favorite game).

The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen, but that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine (Bob DylanThe man in me). My obsessions get me known throughout the school for being strange (Belle & Sebastian - Expectations): I've got too much on my mind; I think of everything to be discovered - I hope there's something to find (Paul McCartneyEver present past)… I have my books and my poetry to protect me (Simon & GarfunkelI am a rock). All I ever wanted was to sing the saddest songs - If somebody sings along I will be happy (Belle & SebastianThe boy done wrong again). Life could be musical comedy (God Help the GirlHiding ‘neath my umbrella)… If you live you will learn - I live and I learn (The Cardigans).

A day in the life (The Beatles), we were talking about the space between us all, and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion (The Beatles - Within you without you) and about how when the broken-hearted people living in the world agreed, there would be an answer. (The Beatles Let it be)

I said: I have made the big decision - I'm gonna try to nullify my life (The Velvet Underground - Heroin)! For living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see (The BeatlesStrawberry fields forever). No, no quiero imitar y, por ser como todos no ser nadie (El Cuarteto de NosNo quiero ser normal). You better free your mind instead! (The Beatles - Revolution) Can you hear me that when it rains and shines, it's just a state of mind! Can you hear me? (The BeatlesRain) Arrive without travelling; see all without looking! (The BeatlesThe inner light)

She turned to me and said, just like a woman (Bob Dylan) “Soon you will know that you are sane (Belle & Sebastian - Expectations). If you don't like things you leave for some place you never gone before (The Velvet Underground I found a reason)”. So I took my things and left (Belle & SebastianSukie in the graveyard).

It's a wicked life but what the hell; the stars ain't falling down (Bob DylanGoin’ to Acapulco)... “When you've seen beyond yourself - then you may find peace of mind, is waiting there; and the time will come when you see we're all one - and life flows on within you and without you (The Beatles)”

Limitless undying love shines around me like a million suns, and calls me on and on across the universe (The BeatlesAcross the universe)… It ain’t me babe (Bob Dylan); anyway, don't think twice, it's all right (Bob Dylan)! ‘Cause you’re the storm that I believe in (The Cardigans). Even when I watch TV, there’s a hole where you’re supposed to be (John Lennon - Dear Yoko)…

I want you (Bob Dylan) and all I want is you (Barry-Louis Polisar), so why am I so shy when I’m beside you (The Beatles - It’s only love)? But it's not that way; I wasn't born to lose you (Bob Dylan - I want you).

“How does it feel to be without a home - like a rolling stone? (Bob Dylan)” Feels like I’m a pretty strange animal (Antsy Pants - Sometimes). Now I'm so happy I found you - how I love you (The BeatlesLong long long).

“How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people? (The Beatles – Baby you’re a rich man)” Maybe I’m amazed (Paul McCartney).

“How does it feel to be such a freak?” Impossible. (Bob DylanBallad of a thin man)

"My advice is to not let the boys in (Bob DylanTombstone blues)", said the pale-blue-eyed girl (The Velvet Underground). She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does; and she aches just like a woman - but she breaks just like a little girl (Bob DylanJust like a woman). Got no deeds to do. No promises to keep. Life I love you – all is groovy! (Simon & Garfunkel - The 59th street bridge song)

...

And now, what was golden went grey (Joanna NewsomPeach, plum, pear), and you've changed your mind (The BeatlesNot a second time)… “I don’t think I could stand to be stuck, and that’s the way that things were going! (Belle & SebastianAct of the apostle II)” So I said goodbye to someone that I love. It’s not just me, I tell you it’s the both of us - and it was hard… (Belle & SebastianIf she wants me)

I walked down life's lonely highways, hand in hand with myself… (The Velvet UndergroundI found a reason)

So next Friday I’m in love (The Cure) again (just like starting over [John Lennon]). I saw a face, I can't forget the time or place where we met; she's just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we've met (The BeatlesI’ve just seen a face)! But it’s gonna take money – and it’s gonna take time (George HarrisonI’ve got my mind set on you). We eat and we drink, we feel and we think (Bob DylanWhen the deal goes down)… I kept taking everything to be to be a sign (Belle & SebastianI’m a cuckoo)! Regarding the wrong girl (Belle & Sebastian), she said “And I bet she’s making shells back home for a steady boy to wear ‘round his neck; well it won't hurt to think of her as if she’s waiting for this letter to arrive…(Belle & SebastianI fought in a war)”

My mind's distracted and defused. My thoughts are many miles away - they lie with her when she’s asleep and kiss her when she starts her day (Simon & Garfunkel – Kathy’s Song) … Silent cloud, oh, Ocean child (The Beatles - Julia)! Rain, please tell me now does that seem fair, for her to steal my heart away when she don't care? I can't love another when my heart’s somewhere far away… (The CascadesRhythm of the falling rain)

You're just a storyteller - you're not trying to escape responsibility. If I believe you then you're successful! (Belle & Sebastian - Storytelling)”

Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow… (The CascadesRhythm of the falling rain)

And finally I do goddamn I do goddamn see (Devendra BanhartTell me something)! There's no problem, only solutions! (John LennonWatching the wheels)

So I will love you just the same… (Belle & Sebastian – To be myself completly)
