SomethingStupid

  

     1. Listen to the song carefully.

    

     2. Listen to the song a second time and then start filling the gaps with the appropiate verb. 

                     a/ What does ´stand in line` mean?(Use your own words)

                     b/ What does ´spend` mean in this paragraph? (Use your own words)

I  __________________ I stand in line, until you ______________ you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we _________ someplace to dance, I know that there´s a chance

You ___________ be _____________ with me

3.  Listen to the following paragraph and find synonims for the words in  bold

      a/ Why do we say ´a quiet little place` and not ´a little quiet place`?

                 b/ Make  line number 2 negative.

                 c/ What does  `like` mean in line number 4? Is it a verb?

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid

Like: "I love you

      4. Correct the mistakes in the following paragraphs.  

I can to see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies

You listen the night before

And though it´s just a line for  you, to me it´s false

It ever seemed so right before

I am practising  every day to find some clever lines to tell

To make the meaning came through

But then I think I´ll wait until the evening get late

And I´m alone with you

5. Explain the meaning of the words in bold.

The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red

And oh the night´s so blue

And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid

Like:" I love you"

(" I love you, I love you,....")

  6. Match word  and pronunciation.

          

      7. Listen to the song again. 

I know I stand in line

Until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go someplace to dance

I know that there´s a chance

You won´t be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like I love you

I can see it in your eyes

That you despise the same old lines

You heard the night before

And though its just a line to you

For me its true

And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever

Lines to say

To make the meaning come true

But then I think Ill wait until the evening

Gets late

And Im alone with you

The time is right

Your perfume fills my head

The stars get red

And oh the nights so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like I love you

I love you...
