WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS ?
This was one of my 80’s favorites, by Pet Shop Boys, an English duo who have sold more than 100 million records worldwide and are classified as the most successful duo in UK music history. A duo who “navigated the constantly shifting landscape of modern dance-pop with grace and intelligence, moving easily from disco to house music to thoughtful synth pop without losing their distinctive style in the process.” This song, besides its great sound, offers some interesting lyrics for my grammar “introspections”. So go ahead, sing and dance and fill in the gaps with the suitable Past tense or participleComplete with the missing words
You always (1) a lover
I only (2) a job
I’ve always (3) for my living
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?
I come here looking for money
Got to have it
And end up living with love, oh, oh
Now you (4) me with nothing
Can’t take it
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?
I (5) you drinks, I (6) you flowers
I (7) you books and (8) for hours
Every day, so many drinks
Such pretty flowers, so tell me
What have I, what have I, what have I (9) to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I (10) to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I . . .
Since you went away I’ve (11) hanging around
I’ve (12) wondering why I’m feeling down
You (13) away, it should make me feel better
But I don’t know, oh
How I’m gonna get through (what have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I’m gonna get through (what have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
You always (14) me to be something I wasn’t
You always (15) too much, oh, oh
Now I can do what I want to, forever
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?
At night, the people come and go
They talk too fast, and walk too slow
Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
What have I, what have I, what have I (16) to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I (17) to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I . . .
Since you went away I’ve (18) hanging around
I’ve (19) wondering why I’m feeling down
You (20) away, it should make me feel better
But I don’t know, oh
How I’m gonna get through, baby . . .
