Oh sure, Fella, I'd love to tell you why. But from what I understand from reading the papers, that's why you're in the dire straights you're in. Someone's always telling you why, and you go off on your merry way, confindent in your perception of why. Let me ask you this: has it ever occurred to you to find out why yourself? Would it kill you to lift a finger, be good citizen, and ask yourself, "why?" I know hardened criminals who've figured out why while they were doing a dime up at "Q." So why not you?

I don't know why, I almost found out but a big bubble came to the surface of the water and pushed me back to the island before I could find out.

Runaway by Del Shannon

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, while our hearts were young

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder. I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder. I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder. I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, a-run-run-run-run-runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway

Tell Me Why
Lennon/McCartney

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

Well I gave you everything I had
But you left me sitting on my own
Did you have to treat me oh so bad
All I do is hang my head and moan

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

If there's something I have said or done
Tell me what and I'll apologize
If you don't I really can't go on
Holding back these tears in my eyes

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

Well I'm beggin' on my bended knees
If you'll only listen to my pleas
Is there anything I can do
'cause I really can't stand it
I'm so in love with you

Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me
Tell me why you cried
And why you lied to me

WARNING! THREAD HIJACK! THREAD HIJACK! THREAD HIJACK!

I was/am just a casual fan of The Prisoner, and never once gave any of it a moment of thought, as the metaphors, parables, symbolism and anologies are pretty obvious.

About two years ago I woke up in the middle of the night, and realized what "The Rover" was, or could be. It represents "the prisoner's" self doubt, and it always occurs when he is about to make a breakthrough. The next morning I wrote the offical Prisoner fan club web site with my idea. The person who answered said that he had never heard that theory before, and that it had merit.

I could talk about all of the possibilities - you know, the alignment of the planets, bad juju, karma, the gods are angry, etc. But I don't want to insult your intelligence, so I'll just say it was probably something you ate and let it go at that.

Usually the answer to why is because you're not supposed to, you've been told over and over but you didn't listen, had to find out for yourself and did it anyway.
