New Song

So, here is the new song. Hand In My Pocket by Alanis Morissette. Full of adjectives for you to look up and desperate! Unless you decide to post an message and ask directly...
There is a short glossary after the lyrics.
 
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is
giving a high five

I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is
flicking a cigarette

What it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign

I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano

What it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxicab...

 


Come down to: if a problem comes down to a particular consideration, it can be reduced to that basic consideration
Give a high five:when you clap your hand with a friend's hand in the air. It's an informal way to greet people...or celebrate sports victories...
Flick a cigarette: You put the cigarette between your index finger and your thumb, and you hit it with the index finger, to throw it away.
Figure out: Understand.
Hail a taxi: to wave your hand to call the taxi driver's attention and (luckily) make him/her stop.

What's the willing Suspension of Desbelief?

Well, some people have asked me what the title of my space means...so...let me try to explain.
The term was originally used for film criticism, but now it is extended to the world of psychology, as it is a device we use subconsciously. Ok, you go o the cinema and see a terror film. You get scared at everything and even shout "look back!" to the stupid blonde girl who, instead of running out of the house, goes upstairs. If you didn't suspend your disbelief, you would not believe what you are watching, you would not shout or get scared and would never enjoy a film. So the willing suspension of disbelief is the device your subconscious uses to believe and enjoy what you see.
So here you are, sitting at your Spanish desk, reading and English text, written by your Spanish teacher, listening to songs in English, trying to be immersed in an English-speaking world, only cause you want to learn some foreign language.

Welcome

If you've been brave enough to check this "space" you will see that it is still in construction. I'm investigating how to put things so that it is easy for you all to use.
4th year-Students: I've put a song for you. You only have to click on "play". I'll leave the lyrics here, so that you can check. It is related to the grammar point we've just introduced "the+comparative" I hope you like it. If you have any question about the lyrics, you only have to reply to this post "agregar comentario" and ask, I'll answer as soon as possible.
 
Twisted and sick (Marlango)
The more you see, the more I hide
The more I show, the more I lie
Or may be the more I hide, the more you see
The more I lie, the more I show
But I'm twisted and sick,
So that's fine with me, cause I'm...
The more I show, the more you see
The more I hide, the more I lie
Or even the more you see, the more I show
The more I lie, the more I hide
But I'm twisted and sick,
So that's fine with me, cause I'm...
I'd love to need you, but I don't
I want to miss you, but I don't
And I need to want you
And I miss your wanting
And I want your loving
But I'm twisted...
Until I finish what I have to do
I can't start doing what I should do
I have to do this,
I have to say that
I'll have to go beat
Out
all of the crap
I'll have to sit still
I'll have to fulfill
Those stupid ideas
They have about me

 

That's fine with me = I don't mind

Beat out = Make disappear by hitting

Crap = (very informal/rude English) Rubbish (= shit, which is even ruder)
