THE SHOW MUST GO ON
YESTERDAY
My 1st year ESO students are learning the past of the verb to be. They are also going to learn how to form the past simple of regular verbs and some expressions to refer to past time, for example, YESTERDAY. We are going to learn the song Yesterday, by The Beatles, and later we will record ourselves singing it. Very soon... in this blog!!!!
EXERCISE (Verbs)
KEY:
Yesterday
all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly
I’m not half the man I used to be.
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go?
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said something wrong.
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday
love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go?
I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday
love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday...
Another karaoke version HERE.

I'm not really sure how it goes

He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be

As a smile ran away from his face

If I could get out of this place"
Now Paul is a real estate novelist

And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

But it's better than drinking alone

Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the ____________________
And you've got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday

'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see

And the piano sounds like a carnival
______________________________________
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say "Man what are you doing here?"

Sing us a song tonight
