with

Fool's Garden

TASK 1. Listen to the song Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden and�complete the sentences with�the�Present Participle to form the Present Continuous tense.

I'm here in a boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

I'm my time I got nothing to do
I'm around I'm for you
but nothing ever happens - and I wonder

I'm around in my car

I'm too fast I'm too far

I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely I'm 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 tall that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm 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 here I miss the power

I'd like to go out, take a shower

but there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired put myself into bed

where nothing ever happens - and I wonder

Isolation - is not good for me
Isolation - I don't want to sit on a lemon-tree
I'm around in a desert of joy

Baby, anyhow I'll get another toy

and every thing will happen -and you'll wonder

I wonder how I wonder why

yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

and all tall that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm� my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

and all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
