Abba - The day before you came

The Day Before You Came Lyrics
Listen for the missing "must have..." forms.



I must ...........my house at eight, because I always do 
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due ;
I must......... the morning paper going into town 
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must …....... 
I must …......... my desk around a quarter after nine 
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed 
I must ….......... to lunch at half past twelve or so 
The usual place, the usual bunch 
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must ….......
The day before you came 

I must …........ my seventh cigarette at half past two 
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue 
I must …........on dragging through the business of the day 
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away 
At five I must …........, there's no exception to the rule 
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school 
The train back home again 
Undoubtedly I must …........ the evening paper then 
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame 
The day before you came 

I must ….......... my front door at eight o'clock or so 
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go 
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV 
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see 
I must ….........to bed around a quarter after ten 
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then 
I must ….......a while 
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style 
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim 
The day before you came 

And turning out the light I must ….......... and ….......... for yet another night 
And rattling on the roof I must …............. the sound of rain 
The day before you came

Cleft sentences

A declarative sentence, such as
David studied English at Oxford can be reformulated as:
It was David who studied English at Oxford

This is called a CLEFT SENTENCE because the original sentence has been divided (or "cleft") into two clauses:
It was David and who studied English at Oxford.

Cleft sentences focus on one constituent of the original sentence, placing it after it was (or it is).
Here we have focussed on the Subject David, but we could also focus on the Direct Object English:

It was English that David studied at Oxford

or on the Adjunct at Oxford

It was at Oxford that David studied English

Cleft constructions, then, exhibit the pattern:
It + be + focus + clause

We can also use preparatory it in cleft sentences and join the words that we want to focus on to the relative clause with that, who or when.

In the example which follows, note how this construction enables us to focus on different aspects of the information, which may be important at the time:

My brother bought his new car from our next-door neighbour last Saturday.

It was my brother who bought his new car from our neighbour last Saturday.
It was last Saturday when my brother bought his new car from our neighbour.
It was a new car that my brother bought from our neighbour last Saturday.
It was our next-door neighbour that my brother bought his new car from last Saturday.
