Grammar and vocabulary: songs

Here you are a compilation of songs you have suggested, thanks a lot for your great ideas! For PAST SIMPLE PRACTICE have a look at AC/CD and Nirvana (thanks David!! excellent choices!) This beautiful songs includes the verb GIVE UP. In this song it means "rendirse"(NEVER GIVE UP = nunca te rindas). It can also mean "dejar" (GIVE UP SMOKING = dejar de fumar). Thank you Mario! such a great artist to explore... Last but not least, here you are an example of verb HOLD, which can mean a lot of different things (click here to find out). In this particular song, "I want to hold your hand", it means "coger, agarrar, sostener". Can you guess the group :P

More stories in the past simple



Norwegian Wood. The Beatles
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on the rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
"It's time for bed"
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

Silhouettes

Hi!
There must be some kind of problem with the copyright of the song we did yesterday, "No Reply". But I've found something interesting instead, the song that inspired John Lennon. It's called "Silhouettes"- You may want to practice listening to past simple verbs... :P




Took a walk and passed your house
Late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn
Way down tight
From within, a dim light cast
Two silhouettes on the shade
Oh, what a lovely couple they ma-ade
Put his arms around your waist
Held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste
In the night
Wondered why I'm not the guy
Whose silhouette's on the shade
I couldn't hide the tears in my eye-eyes
Silhouettes (silhouettes)
...

[Instrumental Interlude]

Lost control and rang your bell
I was sore
Let me in or else I'll beat
Down your door
When two strangers who had been
Two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock
Your on the wrong blo-ock
Rushed down to your house with wings
On my feet
Loved you like I never loved
You my sweet
Vowed that you and I would be
Two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days
Two silhouettes on the sha-ade
Silhouettes (silhouettes)
...
