Mental film clips

I dont know about anyone else, but when I'm listening to a song I dont know the film clip to, sometimes I make up my own to go with the song.

For example, Shoulda Woulda Coulda by Beverley Knight tells the story of a girl whose dreams got in the way of her relationship to the point that he ended up breaking it off with her (or so I think). Now she's singing that she wishes she did more to keep it going.

In my version of the clip she's singing, standing close to the screen on a background of a field of some sort and pretty much stands in the same point for the whole song. It starts off with her costumed in Roman era, and the guy rides in on a chariot into the background dressed up as Caesar goes up and offers her wine and gold and elaborate stuff which she rejects and he walks back where he came from. She then changes into mediaeval gear and the same guy rides in on a horse in armour and offers her the same kinda stuff which she rejects again.

This keeps going on through the ages featuring Renaissance, pre-French revolution (powdered wigs etc), Victorian (big corsets) costumes, and each time he keeps offering her elaborate stuff that she keeps rejecting, but each time the presents get less elaborate. Eventually we end up in modern time with him on foot wearing jeans and a white shirt holding a bunch of flowers, keeping in with the decreasng ostentation. He hangs around in the background and she finally moves away from the spot and offers him a bunch of flowers too, kinda like an *I'm sorry for rejecting you so much* gesture. They walk off happily into the sunset and the song ends.
