  General Comment:This song is gorgeous. It's so dramatic, the soft start, the sweeping strings, and huge climax! It definitely sounds like a Belle & Sebastian song.
  And I absolutely adore the lyric "I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care. So much rests upon it, my life upon a song. You don't know how much I need... musician, please take heed." It's so true!
  I really don't think this song needs an explanation.

  General Comment:@saladay the 2nd missing lyrics are actually: "Old episodes of Minder". It was British tv series:
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…
  
  the lyrics above are actually incorrect in a few places. Here's the true lyrics of the song:
  
  I'm all alone, this is a holiday
  Some bloody holiday
  My friends have gone away
  They're of the temporary sort, I think
  I will be better without
  As long as you let me out
  
  To taste the air beside the river
  I pick the soundtrack with immaculate care
  Such a lot rests upon it
  My life upon a song
  You don't know how much I need
  Musician, please take heed
  
  I thought I might just write a letter
  Anything to stay away
  From books and lessons today
  Besides it's part of my induction
  Into the literate world
  I am a literate girl
  
  I string the words together softly
  I lay my love upon you with each line
  A gift of improvising
  Removes me from revising
  I made a daisy chain from
  Phrase, verse, and punctuation
  
  I'll kick this mood off with a change of scene
  I bought a leotard and go to the gym
  I couldn't get away with wearing it last summer
  But I lost a lot of weight
  I think it's down to leaving meat out of my diet as a rule
  I won't buy it 'cause it's cruel
  
  And if the nighttime threatens me with pain
  I will give in to lust
  I will do what I must
  I've got a number of a girl I know
  Who gets hallucinogens from a pair of hooligans
  
  I'll take a dose, I don't mind trying
  She lets me stay there while I leave the ground
  Old episodes of Minder
  I snuggle up beside her
  Think that I'll stay til morning
  She's got me started yawning..

  General Comment:The second missing lyric is "Old episodes remind her" or something very similar.
