"Left to my own devices" - pet shop boys.
A perfect description of the Korean lifestyle. HAHAHAHA Any others out there?

I get out of bed at half past ten
Phone up a friend, who��s a party animal
Turn on the news and drink some tea
Maybe if you��re with me we��ll do some shopping

One day I��ll read, or learn to drive a car
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest


I was always told that you should join a club
Stick with the gang, if you want to belong
I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
Would I write a book? or should I take to the stage?

Turn off the tv, look at a book
Pick up the phone, fix some food
Maybe I��ll sit up all night and day

Sticks with the gang - at the back of the street
Pass the test - and you don��t compete
Come on, baby
Left to my own devices, I probably would
If I was left to my own devices, I possibly would
If I was left to my own devices, I probably would

Six Months In A Leaky Boat, by Split Enz

When I was a young boy
I wanted to sail around the world
That's the life for me, living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigate the globe
The lust of the pioneer, will acknowledge
No frontier
I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky
Lightning flash, tempers flare,
'round the horn if you dare
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Lucky just to keep afloat

Aotearoa, rugged individual
Glisten like a pearl
At the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance
Didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me
I'll conquer and stay free
Ah c'mon all you lads
Let's forget and forgive
There's a world to explore
Tales to tell back on shore
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Six months in a leaky boat

Ship-wrecked love can be cruel
Don't be fooled by her kind
There's a wind in my sails
Will protect and prevail
I just spent six months in a leaky boat
Nothing to it leaky boat

Life is how you make of it.

Life's a bitch, then you die
That's why we get high
Cause you never know
When you're gonna go...

I dedicate this to my days in gangseo-gu, Gimpo. Quite touching really, "suburbia'- pet shop boys.

Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
Roaming suburban boys
Mother��s got a hairdo to be done
She says they��re too old for toys
Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
In this suburban hell
And in the distance a police car
To break the suburban spell

Let��s take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can��t hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia

Break the window by the town hall
Listen, the siren screams
There in the distance, like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams

Let��s take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can��t hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia

I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around

It��s on the front page of the papers
This is their hour of need
Where��s a policeman when you need one
To blame the colour tv?

Let��s take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can��t hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia

Take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can��t hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia

Run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can��t hide
In suburbia
In suburbia
In suburbia
In suburbia
In suburbia

i'm new so i'm singing.. pink floyd "young lust"



I am just a new boy
Stranger in this town
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?

Ooooo I need a dirty woman
Ooooo I need a dirty girl

Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock n roll refugee
Ooo Babe, set me free

Ooooo I need a dirty woman
Ooooo I need a dirty girl

There is a Filter song that works fairly well, (sometimes..) "Stuck in here"

Once again I'm stuck in here
Once again I'm in low gear
Once again I have a fear
Once again I'm stuck in here
Hey just close the door
Think back and just ignore
Hey just close your eyes
Think back and realize
Oh no, I'm stuck in here
Oh no, still stuck in here
What makes you think that it's okay?
Don't start it off don't relate
Take the job but not the pay
Forget the hours but not the day
Hey just close your eyes
Think back and realize
Hey just close the door
Back up and just ignore
Oh no, I'm stuck in here

The Kinks - Dedicated Follower of Fashion

(location name changes are my own work - perhaps you have better suggestions:)

They seek him here, they seek him there,
His clothes are loud, but never square.
It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

And when he does his little rounds,
'Round the boutiques of Namdaemun,
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery.
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes.
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

They seek him here, they seek him there,
In Shinsegae and Lotte.
Everywhere the ASK army marches on,
Each one an dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built 'round discoteques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly.
In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.

Maybe we just just go home.

I've seen a few ajosshis who were in a state that brought to mind the Dead Kennedys' "Too Drunk To ****".
