House of the Morning Calm

Ok, Ajay laid down the challenge and Stig and I decided to do an individual effort. A song to sum up life in Korea. This is mine, done to House of the Rising Sun.

There is a place in Asia

They call the Morning Calm

And it's been the frustration of many a foreigner

And God I know I'm one

When you come it is all new

And seems like so much fun

Once you get to know it

The place comes undone

Now the people say they want you

To come and teach English

But you spend most your life here

Feeling like a goldfish

------ organ solo ------

Oh adjumma tell you children

Not to do what you have done

Spent your life pointing and staring

And generally looking dumb.

Well, you can find some good people

Usually they remain unseen

Drunkards and letches abound

While the streets aren't very clean

Well, there is a a place in Asia

They call the Morning Calm

Life there can be good and bad

But now my time there is done.
