Hello! I'm Lyrkit!

I tried many ways to memorize English words and found the most effective one for me!

We already have all the words of the songs that we have heard throughout our lives in our memory. We simply did not pay attention to them, but we all already hear them!

I noticed that when you learn a new word from a song that you have already heard before, you already know the translation of this word forever and you will never forget it!

I want to share this method with you. So, the scheme is as follows.

We find songs that we have already heard.

We add all unfamiliar words from them.

We pass mini tests of memory games. done

Now that you know a lot of words, you will very quickly come to know the whole language!

I bet you'll be surprised how effective this method is!)

Bentley & Craig

 

Bentley & Craig

(album: Water Of Dreams - 1982)


In 1952 in Croydon (town)
There were bombsites still around from the war
November that year food was scarcely off the ration
Two boys went out to rob a store

Craig he was just about sixteen years old
Bentley he was nineteen
But Craig had a shooter stuck in his pocket
Made him feel more like a man

Out on the roof of Barlow & Parkers store
Somebody saw them there
In a matter of minutes the police had arrived
And when they saw them you can bet those boys were scared

Craig he shouted that he had a gun
And he thought about the movies that he'd seen
Back at Fell Road they signed the rifles out
And arrived very quick back on the scene

Some of the police got onto the roof
Bentley knew that he could not escape
So he gave himself up and they put him under arrest
And he begged his young friend Chris won't you do the same

Give me the gun, the sergeant cried
Let him have it Chris, poor Bentley said
But a shot rang out well it tore the night in half
Well, the poor policeman was lying there dead

Some people said it was a bullet from Craig's gun
That laid that policeman away
Some people said it was a police marksman's bullet
Some people said it could be a ricochet

Both was found guilty of murder Craig he was too young not yet a man
Though he was under arrest when the fatal shot was fired
Derek Bentley was judged old enough to hang
Bentley he was judged to be a man

Twenty-eighth of January in Wandsworth prison
When they took poor Bentley's life
Some people shouted and some people prayed
Some people just hung their heads and cried

Oh, you men on our behalf who sanctioned that boy's death
There's still one thing left to do
You can pardon Derek Bentley who never took a life
For Derek Bentley cannot pardon you

In 1952 in Croydon (town)
There were bombsites still around from the war
November that year food was scarcely off the ration
Two boys went out to rob a store

Oh, you men on our behalf who sanctioned that boy's death
There's still one thing left to do
You can pardon Derek Bentley who never took a life
For Derek Bentley cannot pardon you
Derek Bentley cannot pardon you

done
