I was just wondering if anyone has a song that they feel describes their life in Korea perfectly.

Mine is "Creep" by Radiohead:
"What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here"
Another is "Spaceman" by The Killers:
"Next thing I know they ripped me from my bedside, and then they took my blood type."

Lucky for me they skipped the anal probe and just asked me if I thought I was sick before letting me go...

Point/Counterpoint by Streetlight Manifesto.

"I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
And even if I could I would never give up
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
Because I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song"

It's not necessarily my theme song, but it is very badass. Ska4life.

mod editthe police.
I have a deep serious hatred of cops. They are the only men who've ever hurt me that I didn't get even with.

Awesome thread.

West End Girls by The Pet Shop Boys

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town...

"Ramble On" by Led Zeppelin.

Got no time to for spreadin roots,
The time has come to be gone.
And tho our health we drank a thousand times,
Its time to ramble on.



Win.

I suspect it will be Super Bon Bon by Soul Coughing

Move aside,
and let the man go through.
Let the man go through.

The Twilight Zone

Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
there�s a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned it's back on him
It's two a.m.

It's two a.m. the fear has gone
I'm sitting here waitin' the gun still warm

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse

Edit: same as "Snake Doctor":

Quote:
Yeah, there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
Wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
Cannot decode - my whole life spins into a frenzy

Help, I'm stepping into the Twilight Zone
The place is a mad-house, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go now that I've gone too far...

I'm fallin' down a spiral, destination unknown
A double cross messenger, all alone
Can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you?

It changes from time to time. At this particular point in my life, I think it would have to be: Say Hello, Wave Goodbye by David Gray.

http://skreemr.com/link.jsp?id=6B5240545D5467&artist=David%20Gray&title=Say%20Hello%20Wave%20Goodbye

"As for me well, I'll find some one
Who's not going cheap in the sales.
A nice little house wife, who'll give me a steady life.
And not keep going off the rails."
