1NI & 1NA - STILL HAVEN´T FOUND WHAT I´M LOOKING FOR - U2

Hi there,

Watch this video by the memorable Irish band U2 and... practise the use of the present perfect with the "Fill the Gaps" exercise below:

I .................. highest mountains.
I ................... through the fields
only to be with you
only to be with you.

I..........................
I.........................
I......................... these city walls
these city walls
only to be with you.

But I still .............................. what I´m looking for.
But I still .............................. what I´m looking for.

I ................................... with the tongue of angels.
I ................................... the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night.
It was cold as a stone.

But I still ..................... what I´m looking for.
But I still .................... what i´m looking for.

I believe in the kingdom come,
then all the colours will bleed into one,
bleed into one.
Well, yes I´m still running.

You broke the bonds
and you loosed the chains, carried the cross of my shame,
of my shame,
You know I believed it.

But I still .......................... what I´m  looking for
But I still ......................... what I´m looking for
But I still ......................... what I´m looking for

English can be fun, right???
