Test of the imagination for some Friday amusement.
Rules:
1) all song titles from the album (including the bonus track Fast Cars) to be included in your story, in full.
2) do not spend more than 5 minutes composing your masterpiece.
My attempt below to get the ball rolling:
I was most upset to find, after booking our Himalayan mountain climbing expedition Valentines break, to find that Maria suffers from Vertigo. This was news to me and came as quite a shock especially when she later blamed me for wasting time and money on a holiday "We've got nowhere to go and nothing to do now, and it's All Because Of You."
Well after all this I needed a Miracle Drug and as I found at long ago Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own so I met up with a couple of friends in the local pub. As I was leaving I asked one whether he thought Maria would have forgiven me by now - "Well you're One Step Closer To Knowing" he offered in reply.
As I stumbled out the door of the bar, a few sheets to the wind, into the street I was dazzled by the brilliance around me "Shit, what is this City Of Blinding Lights" I thought to myself as I gazed up at the neon lights along the strip. This distracted me from the job in hand and as I hit the lamp-post I exclaimed "Yarrwayyy" in pain. I avoided the Fast Cars drag racing down the strip as I crossed the road to head home. I decided that when I got home I'd better find Love And Peace Or Else I'd go straight back to the pub.
I returned home to find Maria in better mood. She called me an Original Of The Species and said she thought the Himalayas a strange choice for Valentine. "Crumbs" I thought to myself, and asked Maria if I could "have the Brandy bottle From Your Table".
An hour later we were asleep in bed, A Man And A Woman and a developing hangover.
