article: a/the/-
Now listen to the song and check your answers
Who is in that house?
I opened a/the door to see Who is up the/- stairs?
I’m walking up foolishly
And at the/- end of the hall was a/the door
And I got pulled in by -/a sound But I wish I’d never found
In a/the privacy of your own room Where the/- flowers in the wallpaper bloom
Where I just don’t understand
In a/the privacy of your room Look away now, look away now
At the/- moon
Is somebody watching me?
You really shouldn’t see Why did you climb that last stair You found me unaware
What I’m doing now it’s my own And I don’t want it to be known And it has to just remain
In a/the privacy of your own room Where the/- flowers in the wallpaper bloom
Where I just don’t understand
In a/the privacy of your room Look away now, look away now
At the/- moon
Puzzle me now with mystery clothes
These apples I love, these apples I loathe
And always forgive the/- future to come
For stealing the light from -/the sun
Question to ponder:

Can you explain?!?!?!?!?! Upstairs vs up the stairs
Find a synonym for hate.
Find a synonym for to confuse.

KATIE MELUA
Who is in that house?
I opened the door to see Who is up the stairs?
I’m walking up foolishly
And at the end of the hall was a door
And I got pulled in by a sound But I wish I’d never found
In the privacy of your own room Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom
Where I just don’t understand
In the privacy of your room Look away now, look away now
At the moon
Is somebody watching me?
You really shouldn’t see Why did you climb that last stair You found me unaware
What I’m doing now it’s my own And I don’t want it to be known And it has to just remain
In the privacy of my own room Where flowers in the wallpaper bloom
Where you just don’t understand
In the privacy of my room Look away now, look away now
At the moon Puzzle me now with mystery clothes
These apples I love, these apples I loathe.
And always forgive the future to come
For stealing the light from the sun
Answers can vary There is no one definite answer to the question It’s
just a way to trigger discussion about something which is a bit
ambiguous and hard to explain
‘Upstairs’ can be an adjective
(We have an upstairs bedroom)
or a noun (Go upstairs to see the bedroom), but ‘up the stairs’ is an adverbial prepositional phrase (You will have to carry your luggage up the stairs.) ‘Upstairs’ is about the place, whereas ‘up the stairs’ refers to the action.
