LOL Here is my pathetic attempt. But I am interested, because there are a lot of "mysterious" things in this clip. This is the best transcript I can write. Note that there are parts that overlap. It was difficult, I struggled a lot, listened to it hundreds of times, but I want to get better at this. To start with, it sounds like (unless I'm totally wrong, hehe) someone is contracting both "was" and "were": Paul,...http://www.englishforums.com/English/InRelationProportionAlias-Pseudonym/lcnjv/post.htm#932769Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:22:39 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:932769mister micawber1 There was too much sauce for the meat , which is why we added onions. 2 She's known under the alias/pseudonym "..".

When you hear a line in a song, search the net with Google , and type something like: "I'll be there waiting for you" Looking through the lyrics, it doesn't take long to see what you are looking for is "Candy", by Paolo Nutini. Now I want something in exchange for this favor though. Either money or sex, but I'll also accept rock 'n' roll.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Song/lcnzg/post.htmWed, 07 Oct 2009 19:27:55 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:932405anonymousIm trying 2 find a song, its buggin me! i keep typing it in on youtube and all that comes up is bryan adams and richard marx but its not that song.

Secondly, I still don't understand: is it correct (from the grammatical aspect) to use "killing" on that line or maybe, like you said, this is a need of the poet to use specifically this word, meaning "killing" is much more appropriate for the essence of the song than other word? Is the verb "kills" (in present simple) can also be a substitute to "killing"? If not, why? This is a part from the chorus of the song so maybe it will be easier to figure out the context of the words on it: No more poison Killing my emotion I will not be frozen Dancing is my remedy, remedy, oh Thanks again!http://www.englishforums.com/English/KillsKillingCorrectWord/lcmjw/post.htm#932281Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:35:57 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:932281bob mThe first thing to remember is that songs do not necessarily follow all the rules of grammar or use standard vocabulary, so you need to be careful about using them as examples. Additionally it's also sometimes difficult to interpret a single sentence without any more context. Nevertheless, we can presumably expand the sentence to: There is no more poison which has been (or was) killing my emotion(s). Why has the artist used "killing" rather than "which has killed" or "which kills" here? The continuous form (as usual) suggests that the action takes palace over time. So he is either suggesting that the death of his emotions was not instant or possibly that the killing took place each time he felt an...http://www.englishforums.com/English/KillsKillingCorrectWord/lcmjw/post.htmWed, 07 Oct 2009 16:00:52 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:932186anonymousOn the song "Remedy" of Little Boots there is a line that says: "No more poison killing my emotion". Is the word "killing" appropriate here, or the more appropriate verb should be "kills" (in present simple)? If the word "killing" is right, can you explain why?
