God Help the Girl Page #4

When did you learn to play?

I've always played.

Show me something.

Grow up, you're nearly 25

What happened when

you were a child

Do you require an analyst

Or will a friendly

smile suffice

Find your space,

are you breathing well?

Do you feel okay?

Are you calm?

Are you comfortable?

Is your heartbeat racing?

Is this your soul

you're facing?

Lay down, my couch

is over there

I think you'll find

it's way more comfortable

Take off your glasses,

don't be scared

For 30 pounds, I'll listen

to your stories dear

Shut the window there

We should keep

this session intimate

Don't you agree

I have experience

in matters similar

I can't juggle,

I can't knit a pinafore

But I'll listen to your tale

and give you some advice

I was an ace

when I was young

I learned to dance,

I didn't have to learn

I was a case when I grew up

A case of hope

crashing to the ground

I learned, I hit the skids

And I woke up, me, myself

and I was a different person

If I take you on,

will you be pliable

As a confidante,

I'm quite reliable

Dreamer, though you are

It is you that's been

my signpost

So far

Do you often sing to people?

No, never, really.

Just you, just now.

- You're very good at it.

- Thank you.

I've been teaching this girl

to play guitar.

Mm-hm.

You should come with me

some time.

And what do you want me to do?

Maybe we could work

on one of your songs?

Or you could help

her write something.

I mean, she wants to write,

but she doesn't quite have

your way.

You may have to pretend

to be my assistant.

- Carry your pencils and stuff?

- Exactly.

Some thought should be put in

to the matter of what to wear.

Hi, James.

Cassie, this is Eve.

Do you mind us

hijacking your lesson?

It depends, are you going

to make me play scales?

- O.

- Then I don't mind.

So, what would you rather do?

Well, when I started this,

I was hoping

we were going to write songs.

It does help to know

your instrument first.

I think sometimes

you just need to know the chord

you're looking for.

Yeah, but how do you find it?

Well, maybe we should just

try and write a song right now.

- Okay.

- Well...

a good song isn't written

by committee, I don't know if...

Cassie, what have

you done today?

Just tell me the first thing

you did

when you got out

of bed this morning.

Well, I meant to get up

really early,

but I was still the last nap

and I had to fill the dishwasher

'cause I was last downstairs,

which was a rip-off

'cause I didn't get

anything to eat.

And then what happened?

I jumped in the shower,

got dressed.

Captain was crying

so I had to take her out.

She's my dog.

We went to the park,

climbed the fence
