"NOT THE FUTURE" -- Extended Lyric Video
- But I'm talking at my robot as you mill about the city
But I'm talking at my robot as you mill about the city
- But I'm talking at my robot as you mill about the city, and I'm on my way.
But I'm talking at my robot as you mill about the city, and I'm on my way.
Exploring Cambridge & Learning English
- So I hope you enjoy the video and let's have a walk around some of the streets now and see what we can find. So this is the Cambridge market, right in the centre of Cambridge there's a market that sells lots of types of food and fresh produce and it also has like lots of different stalls with food from all around the world. So lots of kind of international cuisines here and as you can see there are lots of people around me milling about, milling about. So to mill about kind of means you're like moving around, you're moving somewhere with no purpose, kind of like what I'm doing today, just walking around but not really going anywhere in particular.
