Where the bloody hell are you? (Australian tourism advertisement)

We’ve poured you a beer , we’ve had the camels shampooed, we’ve saved you a spot on the beach, and we’ve got the sharks out of the pool. We’ve got the ‘roos (Kangaroos) off the green, and Bill’s on his way down to open the front gate. Your taxi’s waiting, and dinner’s about to be served. We’ve turned on the lights, and we’ve been rehearsing for over 40,000 years: so where the bloody hell are you?

500 miles, The Proclaimers

Phrases

  1. “I would” is often used with “if”, but in this case it’s, ” I would <VERB>…. to <VERB>”, when you want to talk about something you really want very much. It meansI would <MAKE LOTS OF EFFORT><GIVE LOTS OF …..> TO <GET THE THING I WANT>

I would do anything to get her love/ I would give anything to get tickets to the concert/I would study every day to be able to go overseas.

2. “When I <PRESENT TENSE VERB> I’m gonna <PRESENT TENSE VERB>”. You can use this in many daily situations.

When I wake up, I’m gonna wake up next to you/ When I get home, I’m gonna watch a movie/when I graduate, I’m gonna travel the world/when this class finishes, I’m gonna have my lunch.
