LYRICS: HOLE - VIOLET

 HOLE, VIOLET, (1994)

And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars were just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say no
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
When they get what they want, and they never want it again
And they get what they want, and they never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
And the sky was all violet
I want it again, but violent, more violent
Yeah, I'm the one with no soul
One above and one below
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
When they get what they want, and they never want it again
When they get what they want, and they never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I dare you to
I told you from the start just how this would end
When I get what I want, then I never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
It's my lie, you're mine, you're mine
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything
Take everything, take everything

LYRICS: HOLE - NORTHERN STAR

 

Northern Star

And I cry and no one can hear
Inhale
The blinded eyes that see
The chaos
Bring the pitiful to me
Even though I'm wide awake I will
And Blackest night and I wait for you
It's cold in here there's no one left
And I wait for you
And Nothing stops it happening
And I knew I'd cherish all my misery alone
And I wait staring at the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere
He's so cold he will ruin the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights
Kneel into the frozen lights
And they paid, I cry and cry for you
Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
I cried 'cause you were doomed
Praying to the wound that swallows
All that's cold and cruel
Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude,
They run to the pines
It's black in here blot out the sun
And Run to the pines
Our misery runs wild and free
And I knew, the fire and the ashes of his
Grace...
And I wait staring at the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you very far
He's so cold he will win the world tonight
All the angels kneel into the frozen lights
Feel their hearts they're cold and white
And I want you
And blessed are the broken
And I beg you
No loneliness, no misery is worth you
Oh tear his heart out cold as ice it's mine
And I wait praying to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold raining on the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
And I pray begging to the Northern Star
I'm afraid it won't lead you anywhere
He's so cold he will rule the world tonight
All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
Kneeling to the frozen lights
Feel their hearts they're cold as ice.....

LYRICS ELLE KING "EX´S & OH´S"

 

"Ex's & Oh's"

Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man
I showed him all the things that he didn't understand
Whoa, and then I let him go

Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name
'Cause I found me a better lover in the UK
Hey, hey, until I made my getaway

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

I had a summer lover down in New Orleans
Kept him warm in the winter, left him frozen in the spring
My, my, how the seasons go by

I get high, and I love to get low
So the hearts keep breaking, and the heads just roll
You know that's how the story goes

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go

My ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
Climbing over mountains and a-sailing over seas
One, two, three, they gonna run back to me
They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave

My ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go

Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me
Like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all
They won't let go
Ex's and oh's

LYRICS: "DECEMBER COLLECTIVE SOUL"

 "December" Collective soul

Why drink the water from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
Your cup runneth over again
 
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
 
Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your basic needs
Ambiance and vanity
 
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
 
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
 
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
 
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry about, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

2. Who heads the company?

3. Is the company successful?

4. What reason does Tony Swan give for distributors buying more wine produced in the US last year?

5. Does Tony Swan think that the average American expects a bottle of wine that costs $10 to taste good?

Reading basic ("Mansion del ingles")

 Swan and Lewis

 
Greentree Wine Company, California, USA


Greentree Wine Company has been producing premium wine in the Napa Valley since 1980 and markets wine under the Brown Canyon, Swan & Lewis and Stratclith labels. In addition, GWC produces several private labels for both domestic and international customers. Last year, GWC bottled over 500,000 cases between their own brands, private labels and custom bottling contracts.
The Swan and Lewis label, which retails for about $10, grew by 53 percent in 2012. Swan and Lewis includes a Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir. The package was recently updated and includes the slogan, "Stick your nose in our business."
The company is headed by Tony Swan and Glen Lewis who created the Swan and Lewis label in 1990. Paul Jones is responsible for wine production and has worked exclusively for the firm since 1992. Diccionario online
The primary reason Swan & Lewis experienced record growth last year is that key distributors got behind the brand. Swan said the secret of their rapid growth was "being with the right distributors at the right time." He credits the rise in the value of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar for making reasonably priced California wines more attractive to distributors that previously were interested mostly in imports. "A lot of our distributors were strong in imports but felt it wasn't a bad idea to have something from California," he said.
"We need to be with medium-sized distributors, and we need to be with medium-sized distributors that actually care about us, which is not the same thing."
Swan commented that with many wines designed to retail for $10, much of the emphasis is on marketing instead of what the wine tastes like. "We depend on the wine," he said. "I think $10 is an interesting price point," Swan said. "It's a price where almost anybody can afford to buy but high enough where you can do something slightly interesting as far as the wine is concerned. I think the American consumer has become more sophisticated and is looking at interesting wines for around $10."

LYRICS: "MARIA"- BLONDIE

 

She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die
Ooh, don't you wanna take her?
Ooh, wanna make her all your own?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire
Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Ooh, don't you wanna break her?
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home?
She walks like she don't care
You wanna take her everywhere
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
She's like a millionaire
Walkin' on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, Ave Maria

NOUNS ( Sustantivos contables y no contables, teoria)

 

Los sustantivos en inglés se clasifican como "contables" (es decir, que se pueden contar y que se pueden ir precedidos del artículo indeterminado) e "incontables" (los que no pueden contarse y a los que no se les puede anteponer el artículo indeterminado).

Clasificamos pues en el grupo de contables todos los nombres que forman elementos individuales por sí mismos y que pueden formar grupos con otros elementos del mismo tipo y por tanto ser enumerados. Como lo mejor es el ejemplo, vamos con ello.

oranges - naranjas, potatoes - patatas, bottles - botellas, computers - ordenadores, fridges - neveras, cars - coches, etc.

En el grupo de incontables incluimos generalmente todas las sustancias y materias y también las cualidades "abstractas":

salt - sal, sugar - azúcar, water - agua, wood - madera, lead - plomo, silver - plata, wine - vino, poverty - pobreza, music - música, patience - paciencia, money - dinero (en términos genéricos, no así las monedas o billetes. Por ejemplo, los dólares, los euros y las libras esterlinas son contables), etc.

¡Ojo!. Decimos que es incontable la sal, pero no así un paquete de sal. Decimos que es incontable el café, pero no así una taza de café. Decimos que es incontable el hierro, pero no así una viga de hierro. Decimos que es incontable la leche, pero no así una botella de leche.

                               
Milk (Uncountable)                    Two bottles of milk (Countable)

Esta distinción en inglés entre contables e incontables, aunque puede parecer confusa aparentemente, es fundamental gramaticalmente hablando:

USOS

- Los sustativos incontables tienen únicamente forma singular.

Salt / Sal    Money / Dinero    Wood / Madera

- Los nombres incontables no se pueden acompañar con el artículo a / an. Deben ir precedidos si quieren individualizarse de alguna palabra con valor partitivo:

A piece of bread / Un trozo de pan
A glass of wine / Un vaso de vino
A cup of tea / Una taza de té

 

Algunos sustantivos pueden ser contables e incontables dependiendo de la función que desempeñan.

                               
    Cake               A piece of cake                         Paper             A Paper ( a newspaper)

Cake (Tarta, pastel) es incontable, pues indica una sustancia. A piece of cake (un trozo de tarta, un pastel) es en cambio contable pues lo individualiza e identifica como un elemento concreto.

Paper (papel) es incontable. Es en cambio contable a piece of paper (una hoja de papel) así como a paper, en cuyo caso está refiriendo un periódico, (también newspaper).

Bueno, que no se nos desespere nadie que lo dificil ha acabado.

- Los sustantivos contables pueden ser singulares y plurales, estando precedidos del artículo a / an en su forma singular.

A House, houses / Casa, casas    An apple, apples / Manzana, manzanas

- Para cuantificar un sustantivo incontable debe ir precedido de una palabra con valor partitivo.

a piece of cake - un trozo de tarta
a slice of bread - una rebanada de pan
a loaf of bread - una barra/hogaza de pan
a bar of soap/chocolate - una pastilla de jabón/chocolate
a chunk of cheese - un trozo de queso
an item of clothing - una prenda de vestir
