The Movie That Plays in My Head

from Nobody's Flag by Wes Weddell

/

about

Inspired by Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity

lyrics

There’s a movie that plays in my head every day
Mornings, evenings, and three matinees
There’s a million and one things I should watch instead
Of the movie that plays in my head

The hero’s a guy you might recognize,
He’s charming and handsome as me
And I cast him myself, I don’t trust no one else
To show you what you ought to see

The script is a gem, it’s just the right blend
Of witty and thoughtful and bright,
But when I act out the scenes with the folk on the street
Nobody else knows their lines

And that just won’t do, there’s too much at stake
When you live for the eulogy, not for the day
It’s safer this way, though it gets lonely sometimes,
But you risk everything when you bring in a co-writer
