“in my life” is one of the best uses of the present perfect: it’s used to talk about experiences: In my life, I’ve lived in three different countries In my life, I’ve seen thousands of films In my life, I’ve had several different jobs In my life, I’ve written a book In my life, I’ve [...]

My favourite Robbie Williams song! The video shows typical dream scenarios – mainly about being helpless to do anything – climbing stairs but never reaching the top, hitting someone who doesn’t feel anything, being trapped in a maze etc. Buy the MP3 (album version) : Tripping (Album Version) or a karaoke version : Tripping (In [...]

A song about the massacre of Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli, Turkey in 1916. When I was a young man I carried my pack And I lived the free life of a rover From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback I waltzed my Matilda all over Then in nineteen fifteen my [...]

An appallingly bad song, but hugely popular in France. Revolver only have to look at themselves to understand why French pop music has hadn’t a fraction of the success of anglo-saxon pop and rock. My learners are often shocked to learn that no-one in the UK or the States has heard of Johnny Halliday! The [...]

this is a good song for beginners! Learn it by heart. You say yes, I say no. You say stop and I say go go go, oh no. You say goodbye and I say hello Hello hello I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello Hello hello I don’t know why you say [...]

I was never a fan of Duran Duran during the eighties when they were at their most popular. But this song really moves me because it reminds me that pop groups have their moment and then fade away, just like the youths that adore them. This song for me is about the end of my [...]

The song starts at 2:24, fast forward if you don’t want to watch the intro. Please note that ‘we don’t need no…’ is not correct English, but quite common in some places. Correct: ‘we don’t need any…’ We don’t need no education We dont need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers [...]

Bono sings a little off-key in a few places, but they’re still a fabulous group – one of my all-time favourites! Although they haven’t changed much in the last 25 years, what I love about U2 is their energy, the Edge’s unique guitar playing and Bono’s voice – a magical combination! Magnificent Oh, oh, magnificent [...]

I just learned that the chorus says ‘simple thing’. I always thought he said, ‘sympathy’! I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone I’m [...]

Il s’agit des effets de drogues, probablement! On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood [...]

When I was a teenager the only thing I liked about this song was the guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen. As a white boy in middle England, I was never likely to be able to dance like MJ!
Rest in peace, Michael Jackson, people like you weren’t made for this world.
