IDIOMS WITH ANIMALS
BIRD

as free as a bird
a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
the early bird catches the worm
birds of a feather flock together
to kill two birds with one stone
to eat like a bird
a bird’s eye view
an early bird
a bird of ill omen
as the crow flies
a little bird told me something

SOMETHING STUPID
by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman

I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To an evening with me.
And if we go someplace to dance,
I know that there’s a chance
You won’t be with me.

Then afterwards we drop into
A quiet little place
And have a drink or two.
And then I go and it all
By saying something stupid,
Like ‘I love you’.

I can see it in your eyes
That you the same old lines
You heard the night before.
And though it’s just a line to you,
For me it’s true,
And never so right before.

I practice every day to find
Some lines to say
To make the meaning come true.
But then I think I’ll wait
Until the evening gets late,
And I’m with you.

The time is right.
Your fills my head.
The stars get red.
And oh, the night’s so blue.
And then I go and it all
By saying something stupid,
Like ‘I love you’.
I love you…
