Apgujeong Rodeo (Ave Korea)

about

Not a lot of Korean train songs. Mickey Newberry never wrote one, nor did Steve Goodman. Doesn’t mean interesting things don’t happen when riding the rails of the Seoul metroplex. As you watch the subway nomads migrate from car to car, in search of the elusive seat, you just might begin to hallucinate the details of their private lives. Or is it ESP? Just when your senses reach their apex and clarity envelops you, a senior citizen body checks you and snaps you out of the reverie. Alas.

lyrics

Well, The Bundang Line is a mighty good road
The Bundang Line is the road to ride
If you wanna go
To Apgujeong Rodeo

Taken for granted
Yeah I know
It wasn’t my first rodeo

No second chances
Yeah I know
It wasn’t my first rodeo

But I know
What I was doing
I know
What you were doing
I know
What we were doing
I know
Nothin’ doin’

Subway nomads
Come and go
Apgujeong Rodeo
Shoving people
As they go
Apgujeong Rodeo

But I know
What I was doing
I know
What you were doing
I know
What we were doing
I know
Nothin’ doin’

How we’d surely love to see ya
Ave Oklahoma, ave Korea
How we’d surely love to see ya
Ave California, ave Korea
How we’d surely love to see ya
Ave Oklahoma, ave Korea
How we’d surely love to see ya
Ave Oklahoma, ave Korea

The whooping went on, and in about a minute I come a-booming down on a cut bank with SMOKY GHOSTS OF BIG TREES on it, and the current throwed me off to the left and shot by, amongst a lot of snags that fairly roared, the current was tearing by them so swift. - Mark Twain “Huckleberry Finn” ... more
