Make a second conditional chain starting with the following clause:

If graffiti was legal ...

If (Pink Floyd)

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.

If I were a train, I'd be late.

And if I were a good man, I'd talk with you more often than I do.

If I were to sleep, I could dream.

If I were afraid, I could hide.

If I go insane, please don't put your wires in my brain.

If I were the moon, I'd be cool.

If I were a rule, I would bend.

If I were a good man, I'd understand the spaces between friends.

If I were alone, I would cry.

And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.

And if I go insane, will you still let me join in with the game?

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.

If I were a train, I'd be late again.

If I were a good man, I'd talk to you more often than I do.

First and Second Conditionals

California Dreaming (The Mamas and the Papas)

All the leaves are brown

And the sky is grey

I've been for a walk

On a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm

If I was in L.A.

California dreaming

On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church

I passed along the way

Well I got down on my knees

And I pretend to pray

I pretend to pray

You know the preacher likes the cold

He knows I'm gonna stay

California dreaming

On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown

And the sky is grey

I've been for a walk

On a winter's day

If I didn't tell her

I could leave today

California dreaming

On such a winter's day

California dreaming

On such a winter's day

On such a winter's day

Bike (Pink Floyd)

I've got a bike

You can ride it if you like

It's got a basket

A bell that rings

And things to make it look good

I'd give it to you if I could

But I borrowed it

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world

I'll give you anything

Everything if you want things

I've got a cloak

It's a bit of a joke

There's a tear up the front

It's red and black

I've had it for months

If you think it could look good

Then I guess it should

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world

I'll give you anything

Everything if you want things

I know a mouse

And he hasn't got a house

I don't know why

I call him Gerald

He's getting rather old

But he's a good mouse

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world

I'll give you anything

Everything if you want things

I've got a clan of gingerbread men

Here a man

There a man

Lots of gingerbread men

Take a couple if you wish

They're on the dish

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world

I'll give you anything

Everything if you want things

I know a room full of musical tunes

Some rhyme

Some ching

Most of them are clockwork

Let's go into the other room and make them work
