plymouth Re: English song 01.11.02, 18:19 I have a really nice song, in english version of course. I have tried to learn it, but it's too difficult to remember (joke;-). If you have a sense of humour, you will like it. Here is a text: "Blame Canada" (it's from South Park soundtrack) Time's have changed Our kids are kids are getting worse They wont obey their parents They just want to fart and curse! Should we blame the government? Or blame society? Or should we blame the images on TV? No, blame Canada Blame Canada With all their beady little eyes And flappin heads so full of lies Blame Canada Blame Canada We need to form a full assault It's Canadas fault! Don't blame me For my son Stan He saw the darn cartoon And now he's off to join the Klan! And my boy Eric once Had my picture on his shelf But now when I see him he tells me to fuck myself! Well, blame Canada Blame Canada It seems that everythings gone wrong Since Canada came along Blame Canada Blame Canada There not even a real country anyway My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer it's true Instead he burned up like a piggy on a barbecue Should we blame the matches? Should we blame the fire? Or the doctors who allowed him to expire? Heck no! Blame Canada Blame Canada With all their hockey hubbabaloo And that bitch Anne Murray too Blame Canada Shame on Canada The smut we must stop The trash we must smash Laughter and fun must all be undone We must blame them and cause a fuss Before someone thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

awalk Re: English song 11.11.02, 18:11 Here it goes, one of the most popular American religious songs. I proudly present: AMAZING GRACE Amazing Grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me, I once was lost, but now I’m found, Was blind, but now I see, It was Grace that taught my heart to fear, And Grace my fears relieved, Our prayers just did the Grace appear, The hour I first believed, Amazing Grace how ........ PS. This is an excellent theme, I mean "English songs." It's just too bad one cannot attach the mp3 files to the texts. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

While admittedly 'English song' header does not exclude evesong or hymn, both are rather weired choice in response to a request for "nice English song", especialy when presented "proudly". Try something more realistic, like: The First Law of Thermodynamics Heat is work and work is heat Heat is work and work is heat Very good! The second Law of Thermodynamics Heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body Heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body Heat won't pass from a cooler to a hotter Heat won't pass from a cooler to a hotter You can try it if you like but you'd far better notter You can try it if you like but you'd far better notter 'Cos the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler 'Cos the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler 'Cos the hotter body's heat will pass to the cooler 'Cos the hotter body's heat will pass to the cooler (...) Heat is work and work's a curse And all the heat in the universe Is gonna coooool down 'Cos it can't increase Then there'll be no more work And there'll be perfect peace Really?

awalk Re: English song 12.11.02, 16:49 Ok chickenshorts, I take back "I proudly present," you are right it's not apropriate(it would take to long to explain why I used it, so I'll skip that part)however, what is really weird is your strong reaction to it. It might be stupid but it's not offensive. Going back to songs I chose. One is a children song quite popular among American children. And guess what, I taught it to my 11 yrs old daughter here in Poland, and she loved it. She loved it so much that she taught it to her friends at school, and they loved it too. So I think it may be helpful in teaching Englisch to Polish children. The second song, Amazing Grace, I chose not because I am a religious person, but because I like the melody, and I like to sing, and it is simple enough for me to sing. This is as simple as that. That is why I think and I will insist they are nice English songs. As to your song, I like the text, but how about the tune? Nobody here in Poland knows the tune, so what's the point, a text without a tune? Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Gość: religious About Amazing Grace IP: *.torun.sdi.tpnet.pl 22.01.03, 17:55 I am not religiuos fanatic, I am religious protestant though, and I think alergy on hymns is rather unfair. They can be good songs as well as songs about fucking, or maybe it's impossible, mr. chickenshorts? so one more hymn, I think very nice: I the Lord of Sea and Sky (Here I am Lord) I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save. I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send? Chorus: Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have born my peoples pain. I have wept for love of them, They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak My word to them, Whom shall I send? (Chorus) I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them, My hand will save Finest bread I will provide, Till their hearts be satisfied. I will give My life to them, Whom shall I send?

Being a 'religious protestant', where a 'protestant' would suffice, sounds a bit fanatical to me. But I am willing to take (for the time being) your word that you are not... Now, songs about fucking?... (Naughty word for a religious, especially on a public forum. Sounds like you aren't a fanatic, after all...) Are you alluding to the text I provided above by any chance? Do you mean 'heat' and all that...? > > so one more hymn, I think very nice: > > I the Lord of Sea and Sky (Here I am Lord) > > I, the Lord of sea and sky, > I have heard My people cry. > All who dwell in dark and sin, > My hand will save. > I who made the stars of night, > I will make their darkness bright. > Who will bear My light to them? > Whom shall I send? > > Chorus: > Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? > I have heard You calling in the night. > I will go Lord, if You lead me. > I will hold Your people in my heart. > > I, the Lord of snow and rain, > I have born my peoples pain. > I have wept for love of them, They turn away. > I will break their hearts of stone, > Give them hearts for love alone. > I will speak My word to them, > Whom shall I send? > > (Chorus) > > I, the Lord of wind and flame, > I will tend the poor and lame. > I will set a feast for them, > My hand will save > Finest bread I will provide, > Till their hearts be satisfied. > I will give My life to them, > Whom shall I send? > > Here I am Lord... > > have a nice day all kind of folks > Now, that's something!

Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret. Put down the knitting, The book and the broom. It's time for a holiday. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret. Come taste the wine, Come hear the band. Come blow a horn, Start celebrating; Right this way, Your table's waiting. No use permitting Some prophet of doom To wipe every smile away. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret! I used to have a girlfriend Known as Elsie, With whom I shared The sordid room in Chelsea She wasn't what you'd call A blushing flower... As a matter of fact She rented by the hour. The day she died the neighbors Came to snicker: "Well, that's what comes From too much pills and liquor." But when I saw her laid out like a Queen, She was the happiest... corpse... I'd ever seen. I think of Elsie to this very day. I remember how she'd turn to me and say: "What good is sitting all alone In you room? Come hear the music play. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret. Put down the knitting, The book and the broom. It's time for a holiday. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Come to the Cabaret." And as for me, I made my mind up, back in Chelsea, When I go, I'm going like Elsie. Start by admitting, From cradle to tomb Isn't that a long a stay. Life is a Cabaret, old chum, Only a Cabarert, old chum And I love a Cabaret. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
