Teacher’s notes

1. Introduce the song. Students have to decide if it is a sad or a happy one. Is a narrator happy or sad? Listen to the song and write out some activities what he’s doing now. Play the song.

2. Discuss the students’ answers. Give out the worksheets. Ask for any vocabulary difficulties. Why is the room boring? It’s another rainy Sunday afternoon. He’s waiting for his girlfriend. She isn’t coming. He’s got nothing to do. So, what is he doing? Open the brackets. Mind that there some verbs in different tenses.

3. Now, play the song again and let the students check their answers. Pay attention to the spelling (sitting, stepping). Ask your group to explain these forms.

Lyrics and answers

 

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting 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 turning 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 sitting 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
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me

Isolation I don't want to sit on the

lemon-tree
I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

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

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
