Excellent thread. Long live Morrissey! Bring back Johnny Maher.

Trudging slowly over wet paddies
Back to the hagwon where your clothes were stolen
This is the Korean town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come armageddon!
Come, armageddon! come!

Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :
How I dearly wish I was not here
In the seaside town
...that they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come - nuclear bomb

Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a yellow dust lands on your hands
(and on your face...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)

Everyday is like sunday
Win yourself a cheap tray
Share some kimchi with me
Everyday is silent and grey

All suggested edits welcome!

Get me out tonight
Where theres music and there's people
And they're drunk and alive
Riding in the bus
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to drink soju and I
Want to see life
Riding in the bus
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because its not my home, its THEIR
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a taxi ajeossi
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a horrible way to die
And if a taekbae truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in a crowded open class
I thought oh God, my chance has come at last
but then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't pass

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Riding in the bus
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one

And if a taxi ajeossi
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a horrible way to die
And if a taekbae truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a hagwon sign and it never goes out
There is a hagwon sign and it never goes out (x 8 )

The Limelight in Itaewon is no more, so it's a moot point. But it is still worthy of a song if it still existed:

Panic on the streets of Myongdong
Panic on the streets of Dongdaemun
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again ?
The Itaewon side-streets that you slip down
I wonder to myself
Hopes may rise on the Wolfhound.
But honey pie, you're not safe here
So you run down
To the safety of the town
But there's panic on the streets of Pohang
Daejeon, Daegu, Dongducheon
I wonder to myself

Burn down the Limelight
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play


On the Itaewon side-streets that you slip down
Suburban "dongs" you jog 'round

HANG THE DJ (32 X )

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said I'd like to
Smash koreans in the head

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking when I said by rights you
Should be bludgeoned in your bed

And now I know how Kim Jung-Il felt, now I know how Kim Jung-l felt
As the flames rose to his rhinoplastied nose and his I-pod started to melt

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again and I've got no right to take my place
With the Korean race

And now I know how Kim Jung-Il felt, now I know how Kim Jung-Il felt
As the flames rose to his rhinoplastied nose and his hearing aid started to melt

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again and I've got no right to take my place
With the Korean race

Bigmouth, bigmouth
Bigmouth strikes again and I've got no right to take my place
With the Korean race

(no real change required)

Belligerent ghouls
run Korean schools
spineless swines
cemented minds
Sir leads the troops
jealous of youth
same old suit since 1952
he does the military two-step
down the nape of my neck

I wanna go home
I don't want to stay
give up education
as a bad mistake
mid-week on the playing fields
Sir thwacks you on the knees
knees you in the groin
elbow in the face
bruises bigger than dinner plates

I wanna go home
I don't want to stay

[Khunopie]

All the streets are crammed with things
Eager to be held
I know what hands are for
And I'd like to help myself
You ask me the time
But I sense something more
And I would like to give
What I think you're asking for
You handsome waygook
Oh, you handsome waygook

Let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say


I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it


A boy in the bush
Is worth two in the hand
I think I can help you get through your TOEFL exams
Oh, you handsome waygook


Oh, let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say


I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it


And when we're in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom ?
When we're in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom ?
You handsome waygook


Oh, let me get my hands
On your mammary glands
And let me get your head
On the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say


There's more to life than grammar books, you know
But not much more
Oh, there's more to life than grammar books, you know
But not much more, not much more
Oh, you handsome waygook
Oh, you handsome waygook
Ow !

What about Morrissey's solo career songs?

Dongdaemun Dave?
Last of the gang to be deported?
The more you ignore me (the closer payday gets)?

English is nice, but
English can stop you
From saying all the things in life
You'd like to

So, if there's some word you'd like to learn

ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?

Spending warm Summer days in Seoul
Writing frightening tests
For a nose-jobbed girl in Apkujeong


ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME


Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Won, the Won, the Won, the Won, the Won, the Won, the Won
That will bring us together


English is a language - can't you read ?
English is a language you can't read...


SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME


Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Won, the Won, the Won, the Won, the Won, the Won, the Won
That will bring us together
