Christmas night

Another fight

Tears we cried, a flood

Got all kinds of poison in

Of poison in my blood

I took my feet to Oxford Street

Tried to right a wrong

Just walk away, those windows say

But I can't believe she's gone



When you're still waiting for the snow to fall

It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all



Cup of candles, oh they flicker

Oh, they flicker and they flow

And I'm up here holding onto all those chandeliers of hope

Lots of drunken Elvises

I go singing out of tune

Saying how I always loved you, darling

And I always will



But when you're still waiting for the snow to fall

Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all



When you're still waiting for the snow to fall

It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Those Christmas lights

Light up the street

Down where the sea and city meet

May all your troubles soon be gone

Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on



Those Christmas lights

Light up the street

Maybe they'll bring her back to me

Then all my troubles will soon be gone

Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on



Those Christmas lights

Light up the street

Light up the fireworks in me

May all your troubles soon be gone

Those Christmas lights, keep shining on

Feel free to watch the promised videoclip "red alert" by Basement Jaxx, the house music group that appears in the textbook. Enjoy it and, for bonus marks, what is the meaning of "ain't"?

Basement Jaxx RED ALERT

And talking about enjoying something: "enjoy the silence" is a precious song by Depeche Mode. Here you have the link to a youtube video with the lyrics. And remember, if what you are going to say is not more beautiful than silence, do not say it.

I remind you that you have the contents of the exam in the school intranet.

1st Batxillerat: have a look at pg 124 ex. 4 and pg 125 ex 1

As I told you in class (1st BTX) this is the poem that made me discover the wonders of poetry. When inspiration doesn't come, when words don't come out, read it, and hopefully you'll find the same joy I did.


Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show,


That she (dear She) might take some pleasure of my pain:

Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,

Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain;

I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe,

Studying inventions fine, her wits to entertain:

Oft turning others' leaves, to see if thence would flow

Some fresh and fruitful showers upon my sun-burned brain.

But words came halting forth, wanting Invention's stay,

Invention, Nature's child, fled step-dame Study's blows,

And others' feet still seemed but strangers in my way.

Thus, great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,

Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite--

"Fool," said my Muse to me, "look in thy heart and write."
