"Arirang" is a Korean folk song, sometimes considered the unofficial national anthem of Korea. Arirang is an ancient native Korean word with no direct modern meaning.
Many variations of the song exist. They can be grouped into classes based on the lyrics, when the refrain is sung, the nature of the refrain, the overall melody, and so on. Titles of different versions of the song are usually prefixed by their place of origin or some other kind of signifier.
The original form of Arirang is Jeongseon Arirang, which has been sung for more than 600 years. However, the most famous version of Arirang is that of Seoul. It is the so-called Bonjo Arirang, although it is not actually "standard" (bonjo: 본조; 本調). This version is usually simply called Arirang, and is of relatively recent origin. It was first made popular by its use as the theme song of the influential early feature film Arirang (1926). This version of the song is also called Sin Arirang (Shin; "new") or Gyeonggi Arirang, after its provenance, Seoul, which was formerly part of Gyeonggi Province. (The titles Bonjo Arirang and Sin Arirang are also sometimes applied to other versions of the song.)
Jang Sa-ik (born 1949) is a highly popular South Korean singer. His music combines elements of popular music, jazz, and Korean traditional music. In particular, the style of pansori can be heard throughout Jang Sa-ik's music.
Jang Sa-ik was born in Gwangcheon-eup, Hongseong, Chungcheongnam-do,
He spent his childhood listening to his father and his uncle playing traditional music on the taepyeongso, a traditional Korean oboe. Spending his childhood in the countryside, he grew to love the sounds of "Nongak", a traditional Korean music form associated with farm life.
Jang Sa Ik spent over 25 years doing odd jobs in various towns across Korea, but he found himself longing for the sounds of his childhood. Finally, in 1980, following in his father's footsteps, he began to study the taepyeongso. He made his debut at the age of 46, at which time he was working as an electronics salesman. In 1993, Jang decide to quit his job as a car center clerk, saying: "After changing jobs more than 10 times, I realized that singing was my true calling."
We're the things that go bump in the night that you can't see
Yeah, we're the mishaps that always happen in threes
This ain't no rocket science, no big mystery
Why the light of day that's shown to us
Is absolutely meaningless to me
Well first things first, we've gotta find a way
To make the beauty of the nighttime last all day
We'll do our very best to keep our appetites in check
You better watch your back, we want your neck
Nothing but rotten apples lay here light years from the tree
Got thrown out of the house at the ripe age of three
I'll do my very best to keep my feelings off my chest
And out of your neck
We're the dreams that crumble into nightmares while you sleep
Yeah, we're that feeling someone's watching from the street
This ain't no rocket science, no big mystery
Why the light of day that's shown to us
you were wrong
for so long, an empty canvas,
filled now with all the pain inside, inside
and i swear i still remember
looking through the hole
inside my mind, my mind
but you were wrong
i don't care, no more
it's been so long
i closed that door
you were the first to be
so close inside
of me and my disguise, disguise
but now i recognize
the truth you seek
is all that i despise, despise
but you were wrong
i don't care, no more
it's been so long
i closed that door
stabbed me in the back
looked me in the eye
lied to my face, disgrace
inside of me has died
once together now separate
the love and hate
inside of me just dies, it dies
so now i hold my head up high
some day, you'll finally realize, all your lies
but you were wrong
i don't care, no more
it's been so long
We were wrong. We were wrong.
But so young, and so-o in lo-o-ove.
That boozy English day at the Brighton Race Courses
The wind blew my skirt up, and it frightened the horses.
We were wrong, we were wrong,
But so young, and so very in love.
That May-Ball in Oxford we arrived in a punt.
You fell down in the beer-tent, unashamedly drunk (steady
up!).
We were wrong, we were wrong,
But so young, and so awf'ly in love.
'Cos I'm going to Rhino over your lino.
I'm going to Rhino with you...
In all kinds of leather, we Rhino together.
We'll keep Rhino-ing through.
The kedgeree breakfasts, the gratis champagne.
The hours I spent wiping it off my hired D.J.
We were wrong, we were wrong,
But so young, and so frightfully in love.
We were wrong, we were wrong,
You're so fucking wrong. Fuck you.
You tell me I don't belong. Fuck you.
You're so wrong. You're so wrong.
You're so fucking wrong.
You're so wrong. You're so wrong.
Well I'm singing this song as loud as I can
As I drive too fast with my best friend
I don't wonder if you're wondering where I am
Cause I don't care if I ever see you again
Well I'm sick of being compared to what you had before
I'm sick of being what you don't want anymore
I'm sick of being used, bruised, and ignored
Because that's just not what friends are for
You were wrong
For me you were so wrong
I'd only come over to get it on
Well I've got to admit that it's time to move on
Don't give me shit, don't give me lip
Don't make me lose my grip on everything that I've known all along
Well I wasted two years trying to make you mine
Then I wasted two more as I missed every sign
That you weren't what you seemed like you were which is fine
Cause I don't know who I am most of the time
But what I do know I can't show for fear that I'll throw it away
Like every word that you say
Like all the things that you're saving for a rainy day
And all the times that you wouldn't have it any other way
I was wrong
For you I was so wrong
You'd only come over to get it on
but you gotta admit
It's time to move on
Don't give me shit, don't give me lip
Don't make me lose my grip on everything
that I've known all along
Don't cross the line, don't lose your mind
You showed me all the signs that your not the one
Cause I've known all along
That it's time to move on
Well it's the day before our last day together
We realize it wasn't meant to last
We used to think that it would be forever
But we never thought forever'd go this fast
And now we're singing this song as loud as we can
As we drive too fast again and again
I don't wonder cause now I know where we stand
And I don't care if I ever see you again
We were wrong, all along we were just wrong
All along we were just wrong
So Wrong
We were goin' strong
But we were wrong
Don't give me shit, don't give me lip
Don't make me lose my grip on everything
that I've known all along
Don't cross the line, don't lose your mind
You showed me all the signs that your not the one
Cause I've known all along
That it's time to move on
You were wrong, you were wrong
You were wrong, yeah, you were wrong
You were wrong, baby, stayin' away too long
You know it ain't right, it ain't right,
It ain't right, it ain't right
It ain't right, stayin' out all night
I try and I try with all my might, to do the thing that's right
No matter how good I treat you baby, you only wanna fuss and fight
You were wrong, you were wrong
You were wrong, yeah, you were wrong
You were wrong, baby, stayin' away too long
You know it ain't right, it ain't right
I ask myself, and I ask myself, and ask myself again,
How can you do the things that right, when you keep on livin' in sin?
You were wrong, you were wrong
You were wrong, yeah, you were wrong
You were wrong, baby, stayin' away too long
Can't you say you're wrong, just admit it now so we can go on.
I've asked you once or twice, baby you are running out of time.
I know we're so in love, but that's not enough.
Whohoho,
Are you not just anyone who'd cancel me and walk away,
Whohoho,
Don't you see what's going on, there's no way you can disagree,
Whohoho,
You're wrong, you're wrong,
Whohoho.
What you take me for, I do not wanna hear your shit no more.
We could get it on, all I need to hear is you were wrong.
I know we're so in love, but you're letting me down, down, down-yeah
Don't play it tough, can't have you letting me downó
Whohoho,
Are you not just anyone who'd cancel me and walk away,
Whohoho,
Don't you see what's going on, there's no way you can disagree,
Whohoho,
You're wrong, you're wrong,
Whohoho.
Are you not just anyone?
And you should know just what I want.
Whohoho,
Are you not just anyone who'd cancel me and walk away,
Whohoho,
Don't you see what's going on, there's no way you can disagree,
Whohoho,
You're wrong, you're wrong,
Whohoho,
Are you not just anyone who'd cancel me and walk away,
Whohoho,
Don't you see what's going on, there's no way you can disagree,
Whohoho,
You're wrong, you're wrong,
Whohoho,
You're wrong, you're wrong,
Whohoho,
You're wrong, you're wrong,
Breathe
Turning blue and I can't breathe
In the water underneath
And we're way too deep
To save ourselves
Now that you don't know me
And I've been away too long
Have you also been growing?
Seen how we were wrong?
Deep
My misery is now complete
I've been falling under feet
And I'm way too deep
To save myself
Now that you don't know me
And I've been away too long
Have you also been growing?
Seen how we were wrong?
Please
I'm losing consciousness, it seems
Like everyone's on top of me
And these suffocating dreams
What I want to say is that you let me down
but I want you around now more than ever
And what I wanna do is get out of this town
and forget what we found forever
Maybe it’s true that I won’t remember this after we’re gone
But maybe I’ll leave our memory in a journal or a song
And I won’t say we were wrong
I’m tired of the fight, it’s anyone’s guess
what made me confess, it’s over
But hold me tonight, I’ll take nothing less
than my head on your chest till morning
Maybe it’s true that we won’t remember this after we’re gone
But maybe I’ll leave our memory in a journal or a song
And I won’t tell them we were wrong
So this ones for you and it’s just as well
that our story would sell a song
In whatever you do and whoever you tell
You can say that we fell
Made up your mind.
The room is closing in, you need to find
A place where you can run
Before you're locked down.
This stuff's becoming too predictable.
Give me what you got, I'll take it cause I,
Really think I'm in the wrong direction.
You're giving up on finding love,
It took too long.
You were... wrong.
We're growing up.
You're scared that maybe this won't be enough
To satisfy the edge, but will you make it?
You know this life will get the best of you.
Give me what you got, I'll take it cause I,
Really think I'm in the wrong direction.
You're giving up on finding love,
It took too long.
And she said,
Give me what you got, I'll take it cause I'm
Desperately in need of your affection.
You're heading back to what you looked for all along
If you could find a way
To make your big mistake,
Will it be worth it?
Well you were searching for something,
I hope that you found what you're looking for...
Give me what you got, I'll take it cause I,
Really think I'm in the wrong direction.
You're giving up on finding love,
It took too long.
And she said,
Give me what you got, I'll take it cause I'm
Desperately in need of your affection.
You're heading back to what you looked for all along.
You were wrong.
Give me what you got, I'll take it cause I,
Really think I'm in the wrong direction (You were wrong).
You're giving up on finding love,
It took too long (You were wrong).
Yeah, you're heading back to what you looked for all along.
Found me alone again
I burned another friend
And I'll say I didn't cry
But I did, I did
Give me another chance
To hold it in my hands
And I'll never let you down
I won't, I won't, I won't
Make me an offer
I can't refuse
And I'd sell my father
Prepare to
Lose it all and then you'll know
You?re not the ones that's in control
You are the one that loads the gun
And you think you?re right
You can think you?re right
But you?re wrong
You?re wrong
Don't try to understand me
I can't be bought or set free
And I know I'm gonna die
So what, so what, so what
Make me an offer
I can't refuse
And I'd sell my father
Prepare to
Lose it all and then you'll know
You're not the one that's in control
You are the one that loads the gun
And you think you're right
But you can think you're right
But you're wrong
You're wrong
Make me an offer
I can't refuse
I'd sell my father
Prepare to lose
Make me an offer
I can't refuse
I'd sell my father
Prepare to
Lose it all and then you'll know
You?re not the one that's in control
You are the one that loads the gun
You think you're right
But you're wrong
You're wrong
You're wrong
You bore hearts
And disco spurs
Translate me
Half-light for trains
While the floor
Operates my legs
And my eyes
And finger finger the rain
You were wrong
When you leave
You're not gone
Inside me
You were wrong
You're not gone
You were wrong
Trees are turning on balanced love
"Don't advertise," I interrupt
You were wrong
To believe
In me
When you leave
You're not gone
Inside me
You were wrong
Let your helmet
Warm your skull
Gather cracks
For gathering moss
You were wrong
To believe
In me
When you leave
You're not gone
Inside me

i need some mary jane and some champille main a smelly thang

and like sugga wolf i gather up staples
You try to veil your real face and you know you have to
race
Soon you'll be choking in the smoke so many hearts that
you broke
Well, it's your own desire
You have to run through all that you hate and you wait
for an unknown thing
That gives you a sting
You're wrong when you think all your troubles have gone
Your wrong when you think that your work will be done,
today
Don't blow it all away
Cry 'bout the other side of life and you hope you will
survive
Sigh for a paradise on earth but I hope it will be worth
Aahh, you're a super liar
You have to run through
All that you love and above it's heaven blue sky
You don't have to lie
Who knows what the day brings?
When the girl on the palace steps sings
I'm sorry the breakdown was mine
I missed all the signs, I can't read your mind
And before you go run off again
And cry to your friends
Would you look through the frost, and see
Here behind my cold eyes, my heart it is wore
My eyelids are sore
And you were wrong
And you were wrong
And so when my song it was sung
I went to the grass, and I sat in the sun
To bask underneath my own dredge
Do I follow my heart, do I have far to go
And I'd lie 'neath the shade of our bones
With the heart of a star,
'Cause I live on my own stone
And you were wrong
And you were wrong
Who knows what the day brings?
When the girl on the palace steps sings
You were wrong
You were wrong
