The song is about prejudice and teaches you that we can't judge a book by its cover. It is much time to look carefully than having a quick judgement. We all have experienced that.
Victoria S. has suggested two exercises with Stand By Me: a fill in the gaps and a translation one. You can translate into your own language the chorus and spot the conditional sentence too.
OASIS - STAND BY ME
Made a meal and threw it up on , I’ve -
got a lot of things to learn,
said I would and ill be leaving one day,
my heart starts to burn.

said I would and ill be leaving one day,
my heart starts to burn.
so what’s the matter with you?
sing me new...
don’t you know
sing me new...
don’t you know
the cold and wind and rain don’t know,
they only seem to come and go away. (chorus)
times are hard when things have got no ,
I’ve found a key upon the floor,
maybe you and I will not believe in
the things we find the door.
