Listen to the song 'Another Brick in the Wall'
by the English rock group Pink Floyd and complete the words missing in the lyrics
below while listening. It really is quite amazing how something as
everyday as listening to song lyrics can improve overall listening
comprehension skills. If you're feeling particularly clever you could try
and guess the missing words from their context before you listen!
You! Yes, you! Stand still, laddie!
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness
However carefully (hidden) by the kids
What have we here, laddie?
Mysterious scribblings?
A secret ?
No, poems no less
Poems everybody!
The laddie reckons himself a poet
Money get back
I'm alright, Jack
Keep your off my stack
New , caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football
Absolute rubbish, laddie
Get on with your work
Repeat after me
An acre is the area of a ...
But out in the middle of nowhere
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
Wrong. Do it again!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
We don't need no education
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
We don't need no thought control
How can you have any pudding
if you don't eat your meat?
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
You, yes, you, laddie
Poems, everybody
The laddie reckons himself a poet
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
We don't need no education
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
