A Learn English Song DayLoading Come along. It's 'Learn English Song' time.. Today we are listening to an English Rock Band from the United Kingdom. 'Give A Little Bit' By Supertramp
Give a little bit Give a little bit of your love to me Give a little bit I'll give a little bit of my love to you There's so much that we need to share Send a smile and show you care I'll give a little bit I'll give a little bit of my love to you So give a little bit Give a little bit of your time to me See the man with the lonely eyes Take his hand, you'll be surprised Give a little bit Give a little bit of your love to me I'll give a little bit of my love for you Now's the time that we need to share So find yourself, we're on our way back home Going home Don't you need to feel at home? Oh yeah, we gotta sing
Roger Hodgson is the lead vocalist for Supertramp and has a very distinctive voice. Their most successful album was called 'Breakfast in America' which was released in 1979. More Supertramp Songs on the Learn English Song Experience Have a 'Learn English Song' Day and return to the Music Library
Learn English Song Selections
These are additional selections from Supertramp. Each student can decide whether they are ready for them or not. Come back to them at a later date or to give them a miss altogether if you don't like heavy rock music. 'It's Raining' is about rain being a metaphor for something happening that is not a happy event, and in this case it's losing a friend. Make everyday a Learn English Song day!
Oh no, my love's at an end. Oh no, it's raining again and you know it's hard to pretend. Oh no, it's raining again Too bad I'm losing a friend. Oh no, it's raining again Oh will my heart ever mend. Oh no, it's raining again You're old enough some people say To read the signs and walk away It's only time that heals the pain And makes the sun come out again It's raining again Oh no, my love's at an end. Oh no, it's raining again Too bad I'm losing a friend. C'mon you little fighter No need to get uptighter C'mon you little fighter And get back up again Oh get back up again Fill your heart again... If you enjoy rock music you are going to love this 'Learn English Song' - 'School' it comes from the album 'Crime of the Century" and was released by Supertramp in the 1970's. I can see you in the morning when you go to school Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule The teacher tells you stop your play, get on with your work And be like Johnnie too good, don't you know he never shirks He's coming along After school is over, you're playing in the park Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about And grow up just like them, won't let you work it out And you're full of doubt Don't do this and don't do that What are they trying to do? Make a good boy of you But do they know where it's at? Don't criticize, they're old and wise Do as they tell you to Don't want the Devil to Come and pull out your eyes Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right But while I'm still living, I've just got this to say It's always up to you, if you want to be that Want to see that, want to see that way You're coming along Remember that a 'Learn English Song Day' does not mean you have to learn a new song everyday. But it's good to practice everyday, and that also means practising with songs that you are still learning. The more advanced you are, the quicker it's going to be for you to learn a new song.
Rudy by Supertramp Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line He don't wanna get there, but he needs time He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time. He needs time - he needs time for livin', He needs time - for someone just to see him. He ain't had no lovin' For no reason or rhyme And the whole world's above him. Well it's not as though he's fat No there's more to this than that See he tries to play it cool Wouldn't be nobodys fool. Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait But recently he could see that it may come too late. All through your life, all through the years Nobody loved, nobody cared. So dim the light, dark are your fears Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears How can you live without love, it's not fair? Someone said give but I just didn't dare. What good advice are you waiting to hear? Hearing's alright for them that's all there You'd better gain control now You'd better show'em all now You'd better make or break now You'd better give and take now You'll have to push and shove now You'll have to find some love now You'd better gain control now. Now he's just come out the movie. Numb of all the pain, Sad but in a while he'll soon be back on his train... Return to the Music Library
