Lemon Tree by Fools´Garden





       Listen to the song and complete the missing words:

     
Fool's Garden - Lemon Tree .mp3




I'  (sit) here
in the boring room
It's just another 
Sunday afternoon
I'
  (waste) my time

I got nothing to do
I'
 
(hang) around

I'  (wait) for you
But nothing ever happens -

and I wonder

I' 
around in my car
I'
too fast

I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely

I'  (wait) for you              
But nothing ever happens -
and I wonder

Chorus

I wonder  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'   ( turn) 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' ( sit) here

I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so  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'  (step)
around in the dessert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And  will happen - and you'll wonder

Chorus
And I wonder wonder
I wonder  I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see (x4)
is just another yellow Lemon tree



                                       Now, watch this video with the lyrics.

Woody Allen´s last film: Midnight in Paris

This is the trailer of the last film by Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris.
I bet you are willing to see it!
Watch it and then you can read the review
It will be in Spain this week!



Midnight in Paris (2011) - Official Trailer... por Eklecty-City

Director: Woody Allen; starring: Owen Wilson,
 Michael Sheen, Rachel McAdams,
 Kathy Bates, Marion Cotillard. Rating: * *

The 64th Cannes Film Festival has begun with a soft landing. Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, screening out of competition, is the latest dispatch from the Grand Tour of Europe that the American director, who claims to have been priced out of the States, has been sending in recent years. Even more than in Everyone Says I Love You, it’s a valentine of the camembert kind, a nostalgic wonderland that offers up a picture-postcard version of the city (Look! The Eiffel Tower! The Louvre! The Champs Elysees!) whiter than the national team of the French football federation’s dreams. It’s also Allen’s best film since Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Owen Wilson plays Gil, a Californian hack who churns out screenplays but dreams of writing a novel. He and his fiancée Inez (Rachel McAdams) have come to Paris to sigh dreamily as they wander its boulevards and the banks of the Seine. The trouble is that Inez’s Tea Party-supporting parents are with them. Another problem is that Inez prefers to spend her time in the company of her college crush Paul (Michael Sheen), a pompous visiting academic who’s in town to deliver a lecture at the Sorbonne.
The film wanders from romantic comedy into time-travel territory when Gil winds up one night at a party where he meets Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. They drink, talk about art, and are happy to hoof it up. They represent the Paris he wants, and although at first he’s confused about whether they’re real, he goes along for the ride, having fun with Bunuel, Man Ray, Gertrude Stein (Kathy Bates) and Picasso, as well as falling for Adriana (Marion Cotillard), a would-be fashion designer and artist’s muse.
