Storytelling Lyrics
Storytelling by Belle & Sebastian
Thanks to mariliapaula86@hotmail.com for these lyrics. Picture a scene in your mind A plot begins to take shape Looks at all the people and take note of the setting behind Listen, watch, and wait 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 htink 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 wantto portay? Are you sick? Expressing the desires that daren't speak their name? Are you crippled? Insane? Now you're a storyteller you might think you are without responsability Are you the one to be blamed? But in directions, actions and words Cause and effect You need consistency Lives which have played a part How can you finish the tale? "It's a might big world Are summarised from the very start But mostly I've only heard And episodes left out to make it all go our way Some of it I've seen And stories are all fiction from their moment of birth" You're just a storyteller You're not trying to escape responsability If we believe you then you're succesful But you don't make claims of verity
