Текст песни Storytelling (Belle & Sebastian) с переводом

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
