I have to do an assignment with the lyrics of a song. I am unsure of the tenses in the song.
Am I correct to say it starts off with present perfect (clothes are all dirty) and the goes to future perfect (we'll have to find a way) and then to past perfect for the next paragraph?
Most importantly however, what tense is the chorus 'I'll get stuck in a small room with you, any day now' in??
Lyrics:
Clothes, clothes are all dirty
We know that
We’ll have to find a way
To the closest Laundromat
Well, I knew I was in a hotel room
When I saw that painting on the wall
Like a scene out of a Mills and Boon
Like a rip-off of a Tretchikoff
Two lonely boats next to the sea
A seagull flying, a house and a tree
And I looked at you
And you looked at me
And I thought to myself
(Chorus) x2
I’ll get stuck in a small room with you
Any day, any day now
How I know you
How I’d show you
Shows, shows are so many
Every different place
Place your faith in another
I’ll be there to help you keep face
Well, I wish I would say what I really mean
But the words arrange me in between
If you could read my mind, or see my soul
I’d never have to let you know
I’d never have to let you know
(Interlude) x2
I’ll be your friend forever, boy
Even when we act so clever, boy
(Chorus) x9
I’ll get stuck in a small room with you
Any day, any day
Any day now
