    Luka is a song about child abuse .

    It tells the story of a frightened boy who is forbidden to talk about


    what he’s going through.

    The idea is:

    1. Students listen to the song once and write down whole sentences. e.i.:

    “My name is Luka, I live on the second floor”… He said his name was Luka, he
    lived on the second floor

    2. Students in pairs share with their partners.


    3. Students listen a second time and pair again one last time.
    4. Correct using the video+lyrics and ask students as a class to report the
    sentences one by one.
    Here Is the lyrics:
    My name is Luka, I live on the second floor, I live upstairs from you
    Yes I think you've seen me before.
    If you hear something late at night, some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
    Just don't ask me what it was (3)

    I think it's ‘cause I'm clumsy, I try not to talk too loud
    Maybe it's because I'm crazy, I try not to act too proud
    They only hit until you cry, after that you don't ask why
    You just don't argue anymore (3)

    Yes, I think I'm okay, I walked into the door again


    If you ask that's what I'll say, and it's not your business anyway

    I guess I'd like to be alone, with nothing broken, nothing thrown


    Just don't ask me how I am (3)

    My name is Luka ***


    I live on the second floor
    LUKA BY: SUZANNE VEGA

    My name is Luka,

    I live on the second floor

    I live upstairs from you

    Yes I think you've seen me before

    If you hear something late at night, some kind of trouble, some kind of
    fight

    Just don't ask me what it was

    I think it's ‘cause I'm clumsy

    I try not to talk too loud

    Maybe it's because I'm crazy

    I try not to act too proud


    They only hit until you cry

    After that you don't ask why

    You just don't argue anymore

    Yes, I think I'm okay

    I walked into the door again

    If you ask that's what I'll say

    And it's not your business anyway

    I guess I'd like to be alone with nothing broken, nothing thrown

    Just don't ask me how I am
