Second Conditional Songs - If You Were a Sailboat

Here is another good second conditional song.

Katie Melua is a popular singer from Georgia. She had her first big hit with "Nine Million Bicycles".This song is called "If You Were a Sailboat". It is a great example of the second conditional for unreal situations. Clearly, the man she is singing about is not a sailboat. You can use this song in your classes to show how the second conditional works.
