The simple past with "Summer Nights" (6º)

Hi!

Here's the video of the song we worked on last week.




Summer lovin' had me a blast

Summer lovin' happened so fast

I met a girl crazy for me

I met a boy cute as can be

Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights

Uh Well-a well-a well-a huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more

Like does he have a car?

Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh

She swam by me, she got a cramp

He ran by me, I got my suit damp

I saved her life, she nearly drowned

He showed off, splashing around

Summer sun, something's began, but uh-oh those summer nights

Uh well-a well-a well-a huh

Tell me more, tell me more

Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more

Did she put up a fight?

Uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh-uh-huh

Took her bowling in the arcade

We went strolling, drank lemonade

We made out under the dock

We stayed out 'till ten o'clock

Summer fling, don't mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights

Uh well-a well-a well-a huh

Tell me more, tell me more

But you don't gotta brag (you don't have to brag)

Tell me more, tell me more

Cos he sounds like a drag

shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop,shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, YEH

He got friendly, holding my hand

While she got friendly down in the sand

He was sweet, just turned eighteen

Well she was good you know what I mean

Woah!

Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh-oh those summer nights

woo, woo, woo

Tell me more, tell me more

How much dough did he spend?

Tell me more, tell me more

Could she get me a friend?

It turned colder - that's where it ends

So I told her we'd still be friends

Then we made our true love vow

Wonder what she's doing now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams,
bu-ut oh, those su-ummer nights....

Tell me more, tell me more!

"Ironic" by Alanis Morissette (6º)

Hi,

Watch the video and put the verbs in brackets in the simple past:





An old man (turn) ninety-eight
He (win) the lottery and (die) the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just (not take)
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe (to be) afraid to fly
He (pack) his suitcase and (kiss) his kids goodbye
He (wait) his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane (crash) down he (think)
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just (not take)
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just (not take)
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

FAMILY : "Our house" by Madness (5º)

Enjoy the song!



Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...
Something tells you that you've got to get away from it

Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come between us two dreamers

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our ...

Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street

Our house, in the middle of our street

Here's another song with almost all the verbs in the simple past. It's called "Sunday with a flu" and the singer is YODELICE.



You have to put the verbs into brackets in the past:

(Close) my door, (forget) my key
Missed my bus in the pouring rain
It's been the usual sunday with a flu
And I just can't get over you

Burnt my toast and (lose) your number
Cut my finger, spilled my beer
It's been the usual sunday with a flu
And I just can't get over you

I put your stockings in my purple boots
What if I don't get over you ?

(Have) a chat and (leave) my hat
(Eat) my dog and (walk) my cat
It's been the usual sunday with a flu
And I just can't get over you

I put your stockings in my purple boots
What if I don't get over you ?

I put your stockings in my purple boots
What if I don't get over you ?

Called a cabbage, threw the garbage
(Ask) for help and got some kelp
It's been the usual sunday with a flu
And I just can't get over you

I put your stockings in my purple boots
What if I don't get over you ?

Turn into something beautiful
D'you know for you I bleed myself dry
For you I bleed myself dry

"Let it be" by The Beatles - 40th anniversary

The album "Let it be" was released on 8 May 1970. Here's a video of one of the most famous songs of this band.



When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

When all the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....
There will be an answer.
Let it be...
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be...
There will be an answer.

Let it be...
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
there will be no sorrow, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....
There will be no sorrow, let it be.

Let it be...
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
