 The film takes it title from the lyrics of the song "Pleasant  Street," written and performed by Tim Buckley. A selected part of  the lyrics: "You dont remember what to say / You dont remember  what to do / You dont remember where to go / You dont remember  what to choose / You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down /  All the stony people / Walking round in Christian licorice clothes  / I cant hesitate / And I cant wait / For Pleasant Street"
