Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die

Lyrics:
Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you, out there on the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall, ... Читать дальше »
Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" album "Wish You Were Here" 1975
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
Oh, my God! - О, Боже мой!
What a good chance! - Какая удача!
I don't know what to say! - У меня нет слов!
Oh, damn! - Черт возьми!
Alas! - Увы!
Really? - Действительно?
What a pity! - Как жаль!
I can't believe it! Невероятно!
I hope so. - Надеюсь, что это так.
I feel ill (sad, disgusted). - Мне плохо (грустно, противно).
I feel good. - Мне хорошо.

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Сan't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no r

I said hello, Dolly,......well, hello, Dolly
It’s so nice to have you back where you belong
You’re lookin’ swell, Dolly.......i can tell, Dolly
You’re still glowin’...you’re still crowin’...

One of your old favourite songs from way back

So..... take her wrap, fellas.......

I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain What a glorious feeling and I'm happy again I'm laughing at clouds, so dark up above And the sun is in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face I walk down the lane with a happy refrain Just singing, singing in the rain
Dancing in the rain, I'm happy again I'm singing and dancing in the rain
I'm dancing and singing in the rain __________________
Не раз и не два говорилось о том, что любое дело, по возможности,
должно приносить удовольствие. Это верно в том числе и для иностранных
языков, хотя традиционный, серьезный и логичный подход к обучению
остается неизменным уже очень долго, по прежнему принося для большинства
очень скромные результаты. Давайте не забывать о том, что и
развлекаться тоже нужно и пробовать находить интересное и веселое в
таком, казалось бы, серьезном деле, как изучение английского.
Итак, сегодня запоминаем новые слова и выражения в новом формате puns – шуток-каламбуров и двусмысленностей. Вы с нами?
Такие шутки интересны тем, что используя фразовые глаголы, устойчивые
выражения и сочетания слов, они эксплуатируют многозначность, и для
того, чтобы понять их, нужно понять оба значения.
I wondered why the tennis ball was getting bigger, then it hit me.
Hit me может значить как «ударить», так и «внезапно понимать/осознавать».
