Does Every Best Picture Candidate Have A Perfect, Corresponding Beatles Song?

An Education

"She's Leaving Home"

The Beatles ballad could be an anthem for An Education's Jenny (Carey Mulligan), a teenager in 1960's England who bristles under the thumb of her parents, and hopes to escape the dour future they've planned out for her by joining up with an older man to have...well, fun.

Sample Lyrics:

She (We never thought of ourselves)

Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)

Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)

She's leaving home after living alone

For so many years

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away

Waiting to keep the appointment she made

Meeting a man from the motor trade

She (What did we do that was wrong)

Is having (We didn't know it was wrong)

Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)

Something inside that was always denied

For so many years
