“Get me away from here, I’m dying”
Belle & Sebastian
If You Are Feeling Sinister
Ooh! Get me away from here, I’m dying. Play me a song to set me free, nobody writes them like they used to so it may as well be me. Here on my own now after hours, here on my own now on a bus.
Think of it this way, you could either be successful or be us: With our winning smiles, and us; With our catchy tunes, and us. Now we’re photogenic. You know, we don’t stand a chance.
Oh, I’ll settle down with some old story about a boy who’s just like me, thought there was love in everything and everyone: you’re so naive! They always reach a sorry ending, they always get it in the end. Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly and then with a winning smile the boy with naivety succeeds.At the final moment, I cried: I always cry at endings. Oh, that wasn’t what I meant to say at all. From where I’m sitting rain falling against the lonely tenement has set my mind to wander into the windows of my lovers, they never know unless I write “This is no declaration, I just thought I’d let you know goodbye” Said the hero in the story “It is mightier than swords, I could kill you, sure, but I could only make you cry with these words”.
Oh, get me away, I’m dying…
"Bill dropped his keys on the counter and stood there staring at them suddenly thinking about all the times he dropped his keys there before and how many days of his life were wasted repeating the same tasks and rituals in his appartment over and over again… but then he wondered if, realistically, this was his life and the unsusual part was his time spent doing other things."
Don Hertzfeldt (“Everything will be OK”)
"And I guess it doesn’t matter what I am or pretend to be because it’s her you’ll always love and it’s her I’ll always envy. I want to end this now so dreams of you won’t keep me up, but I swear I’m gonna cry, I’m sick of tryin’ to be tough.
And my blood won’t stick to the confines of my veins, and your heart is gonna tear mine away."

"The difference between me and Bono is that he’s quite happy to go and flatter people to get what he wants and he’s very good at it, but I just can’t do it. I’d probably end up punching them in the face rather than shaking their hand, so it’s best that I stay out of their way."
