ENGLISH ALL AROUND

Pupils from 2ºESO made a mural to show how much English we use in Spain in everyday items: labels on clothes, instruction books, video games, food boxes, etc.

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas)

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying I love you
I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Ba, ba
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
Ba, ba
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ba, ba, ba
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Lemon Tree

See My Vest













Some men hunt for sport,
Others hunt for food,
The only thing I'm hunting for,
Is an outfit that looks good...

See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest,
Feel this sweater, there's no better,
Than authentic Irish setter.

See this hat, 'twas my cat,
My evening wear - vampire bat,
These white slippers are albino
African endangered rhino.

Grizzly bear underwear,
Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
Beret of poodle, on my noodle
It shall rest,

Try my red robin suit,
It comes one breast or two,
See my vest, see my vest,
See my vest.

Like my loafers? Former gophers -
It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
But a greyhound fur tuxedo
Would be best,

So let's prepare these dogs,
Mrs. Potts:
Kill two for matching clogs,
Mr. Burns: See my vest, see my vest,
Oh please, won't you see my vest.

Happy birthday, Big Ben!

Today Big Ben is 150 years old!
