Lemon Tree


Lemon Tree by Fools Garden

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
While 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

Indefinite Pronouns

We use indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things without saying exactly who or what they are. We use pronouns ending in -body or -one for people, and pronouns ending in
-thing for things.

We use ANYONE (ANYBODY) only with negative sentences or questions. For affirmative sentences we use SOMEONE (SOMEBODY) and for affirmative sentences with a negative meaning we use NO ONE (NOBODY)

AFFIRMATIVE: SOMEONE told me that you have a new car.
NEGATIVE: NO ONE told me that you have a new car.
INTERROGATIVE: Did ANYONE tell me that you have a new car?

Happy New Year!!


What are you New Year's Resolutions?

My New Year's Resolutions
    I will not throw the cat out the window
    Or put a frog in my sister's bed
    I will not tie my brother's shoelaces together
    Nor jump from the roof of Dad's shed
    I shall remember my aunt's next birthday
    And tidy my room once a week
    I'll not moan at Mum's cooking (Ugh! fish fingers again!)
    Nor give her any more of my cheek.
    I will not pick my nose if I can help it
    I shall fold up my clothes, comb my hair,
    I will say please and thank you (even when I don't mean it)
    And never spit or shout or even swear.
    I shall write each day in my diary
    Try my hardest to be helpful at school
    I shall help old ladies cross roads (even if they don't want to)
    And when others are rude I'll stay cool.
    I'll go to bed with the owls and be up with the larks
    And close every door behind me
    I shall squeeze from the bottom of every toothpaste tube
    And stay where trouble can't find me.
    I shall start again, turn over a new leaf,
    leave my bad old ways forever
    shall I start them this year, or next year
    shall I sometime, or .....?

    Robert Fisher
