BELLE and SEBASTIAN lyrics : "Storytelling"

Picture a scene in your mind
Look at all the people and take note of the setting behind
Listen, watch, and wait

A plot beings to take shape
There's a story
And then characters will come to you

Relating events as they choose to
But all their words and actions come entirely from you
If you're a storyteller you might think you're without responsibility

And you can lead your characters anywhere you want
You have immunity


Have you considered the way
People 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 responsibility
But in directions, actions and words

Cause and effect
You need consistency How can you finish the tale?
Lives which have played a part

Are summarised from the very start
And episodes left out to make it all go your way
"It's a mighty big world Some of it I've seen

But mostly I've only heard
And stories are all fiction from their moment of birth"
You're just a storyteller

You're not trying to escape responsibilty
If we believe you then you're successful
But you don't make claims of verity
