English isn´t easy!!

THE WORD UP

You lovers of the English language might enjoy this ..

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is itUP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and thinkUP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. .A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!   To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can addUP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UPwith a hundred or more
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearingUP.When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,for now my time is UP,
so.......it is time to shut UP!
Now it's UP to you what you do with this text.

Leftovers are the uneaten edible remains of a meal after the meal is over, and everyone has finished eating. Food scraps that are not considered edible.(restos de comida)
a topic comes up- un tema sale a colación
to be up to-afectar,interesar(it´s up to you)-eso depende de ti
If you are up to it-if you work on it.

You can listen to the song again while you read the lyric:
And it hardly looked like a novel at all, 
I hardly look like a hero at all
And I'm sorry, you didn't publish this
And you were white as snow; I was white as a sheet

When you came down in this black dress
In your mom's black maternity dress
And so, 
Though it hardly looked like a novel at all, 
And the city treats me, it treats me to you
And a cup of coffee for you
I should learn it's language and speak it to you

And 70 million should be in the know
And 70 million don't go out at all
And 70 million wouldn't walk this street
And 70 million would run to a hole
And 70 million would be wrong wrong wrong
And 70 million never see it at all
And 70 million haven't tasted snow

And we dance dance dance like the children dance
Imply thought are we taking the chance?
With the light still on, and will we ever reach the tower

And after you came down in this black dress
I don't know what took so very long
And this, 
And this isn't a war, we don't have to ration
Now wave white flag, and you kept it at home
And words I wrote from a foreign land
You're holding my no longer foreign hand

And 70 million should be in the know
And 70 million don't go out at all
And 70 million wouldn't walk this street
And 70 million would run to a hole
And 70 million would be wrong wrong wrong
And 70 million never see it at all
And 70 million haven't tasted snow

Vincent (Starry Starry Night) Don McLean

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land. 

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now. 

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. 

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now. 

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you. 

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. 

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...

SONGS

Spoiler Alert

You're annoyed when I talk during the film.

It's just another classic that you haven't seen (still!).

Just another ill-in-the-head in the plot;

"Norman Bates, is that all you got?

Might have guessed from the name of the thing." Don't complain

that you never heard the ending of The Crying Game.

Well, it's a penis, and at this point a shaggy dog

(which is: nothing to see here; move along).

The Apes rule the Earth. Vader's poppa to Luke.

Brad Pitt and Ed Norton are obviously two

people, but they've got to share one character.

Bruce ain't alive, kid, no matter how he stares at you.

Snape kills Dumbledore but with a noble motive.

Everybody's guilty on the Oriental locomotive.

Veidt's villainy ends world squabbling

and Deckard is a replicant (probably).

Say I ruin everything for you — well, it's mutual.

Don't wager on survival for Bambi's mom,

Artax, Old Yeller, Mufasa, King Kong.

All spawn of Medea should fear for your throat.

All on the Titanic should fear for your boat.

Yo, Frontalot gave it away before it happened.

If you're in Moby Dick then I hope you're not the captain;

if you are, then I urge: rethink revenge

'cause you're headed for the bottom and you're bringing your friends.

Fall into Wonderland then you're definitely dreaming,

sleeping by the stream, and all is only seeming.

If you're in the Bible, it ends in Armageddon.

If you're in the Y2K, it's less upsetting.

If you're living in the 80s, spoiler: gay Wham!

Space ships can blow up. Trickle-down economics is a scam,

but you'll figure that out.

I don't want to wreck the ending for you, make you pout.

...in the future, do not do what you do.

If you're in the French Revolution, I warn it won't last.

If you're in the Kennedy clan, beware a muzzle flash.

Airplanes, also, quite often destroyed them.

And if you're a Lennon, there's a Chapman. Avoid him.

Boy when I'm spoiling the ending you frown.

No empire lasts forever, go to town,

but if you're old Rome, look out for that Nero.

In case you're a countdown, look out for zero.

Any time you're a ticking bomb, explode

(and nobody make it out except Horatio)

'cause every peanut brittle's got a snake inside

and Jacks-in-the-box, meant to startle, pop high.

If you didn't know already, I'll apologize.

Peek-a-boo's a game; it's a trick of the eyes,

not a bending of reality itself.

Spoiler for infants: adults use stealth.
