Learning Language From Lyrics No.1


Some people say they learn English from listening to song lyrics. I suppose I did learn "cintaku padamu; cintamu padaku" from listening to Indonesian pop. Mmmm. Well anyway here is some music by a British singer songwriter/band leader called Lloyd Cole that you might enjoy... and if you learn a few phrases or words too, then it's a bonus!

The lyrics are found HERE.

Adrian's 22-song Best of Lloyd Cole Compilation (1984-2011) is drawn from:


Rattlesnakes (1984)
Easy Pieces (1985)
Mainstream (1987)
Lloyd Cole (1990)
Don't Get Weird on Me Babe (1991)
Bad Vibes (1993)
Love Story (1995)
Etc. (2001)
Music in a Foreign Language (2003)
Antidepressant (2006)
Cleaning Out the Ashtrays (2009)
Broken Record (2010)
