Roxy Music – If There Is Something Lyrics 14 years ago
Excellent post, particularly the contrast with "Flashbacks". There is no doubt the movie used the song to summarize its theme at the end.

I also believe memories are inherently exaggerated -- hills were not higher, trees were not taller, grass was not greener -- but think that "put your feet on the ground" is a warning about that.

(FWIW, in the movie, he was not "playing the field." He was seduced by a Mrs Robinson character.)

The song has always been a favorite of mine, particularly the killer version on Viva!
( ... when I was young ...)

Bluegrass??? David Bowie? Are you sure you've got the right song?

"Score" means 20, much like dozen means 12. It's not common in current American English, but well-known from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address (4 score and 7).
