LISTENING. "LEMON TREE"

Listen to the song "Lemon tree" by Fool's garden and fill in the gaps with the correct word.



LEMON TREE (FOOL'S GARDEN, 1995)

I'm _____________ here in a boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm _____________my time
I got nothing to do
I'm _____________ around
I'm _____________ for you
But nothing ever happens- and I wonder

I'm _____________ around in my car
I'm _____________ too fast
I'm _____________ too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm _____________ for you
But nothing ever happens- and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm ______________ my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm ______________ here I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
but there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
put myself into bed
where nothing ever happens- and I wonder

Isolation - is not good for me
Isolation - I don't want to sit on a lemon-tree

I'm _______________ around in a desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
and everything will happen-and you'll wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm ______________ my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I wonder how
I wonder why
yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
and all that I can see , and all that I can see, and all that I can see
is just a yellow lemon-tree

  1. Hi Lucía,

    I love your blog, specially this post because "Lemon Tree" is a wonderful song.

    I want to thank you for showing me what Minecraft is because I didn't know it and I was missing a great resource for teaching English as a foreign language.

    I think is very motivating to teach using a game, because that would make children enjoy learning English and they will love to integrate one of their hobbies in their learning.

    Apart from Minecraft, I also think that your blog is very intuitive and has a good mix of colours, which is important because children sometimes see a blog and judge it by its appearance, so I think your blog can be atractive for them.

    I can't wait to see more posts in your blog, and I think I'm going to start using Minecraft with my students.

    Thank you for sharing!

    Alba
