Sometime ago, another teacher told me they used Paint It Black by the Stones to teach phrasal verbs. So, I got a copy of it, but now I find I don't see many phrasal verbs. Is it just me? Can you find more?

    I see a red door and I want it painted black
    No colors anymore I want them to turn black

    I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
    I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

    I see a line of cars and they�re all painted black
    With flowers and my love both never to come back

    I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
    Like a new born baby it just happens every day

    I look inside myself and see my heart is black
    I see my red door and it has been painted black

    Maybe then I�ll fade away and not have to face the facts
    It�s not easy facing up when your whole world is black

    No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
    I could not foresee this thing happening to you

    If I look hard enough into the setting sun
    My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

    I see a red door and I want it painted black
    No colors anymore I want them to turn black

    I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
    I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

    Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
    I wanna see it painted, painted black
    Black as night, black as coal
    I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
    I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
    Yeah!

________________
Next question: given i've now got this song, can anyone see a particular grammar feature they'd teach with it?

And lastly, any recommendations for clearly sung songs with phrasal verbs?
