But I was reading the first three pages of the handwriting , and the song ' Hat Full of Dreams ' was in there . And there was no medicine to accompany it , but the lyrics were so clever . [ It ’s ] about this youthful Willy , who was definitively not the crazy , misanthropical , kind of wearied , mental capacity - fried adaptation that we see in the two prior cinema but was very bright , young , ambitious , won’t - take - no - for - an - answer , mayhap a trivial naif .
