Misery ('s not far behind) 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Well, I wake up in the morning, and I feel fine The sun comes up and brings on the sunshine It'll light my world so I can see it in my mind And I know misery's not far behind I know misery's not far behind It’s hard to break old habits, but I’m trying When the sun goes down and The moon lights up night time I know misery's not far behind I’m hoarse from hollering your name in the night I've lost the will for saying I’m alright Like an old freight train a new day will arrive And I know misery's not far behind

Noksapyeong 05:13
lyrics
buy track
The water's good in Itaewon Sometimes I stop and have me some Sometimes I smile and walk on by And wander down to Noksapyeong I met her down in Namdaemun She had a name you won't forget too soon And her hair that shone like the sinking of the sun We shared a kiss at Noksapyeong All aboard, all aboard, it's a-rolling out fast Taking all you hoped would last And you better look soon, before it's all gone We said goodbye at Noksapyeong I grew up in a broken home My father left when I was young But I'd see him every Saturday Then watch his Vauxhall drive away He said, There's things in life that'll test you, son And this won't be the hardest one But I'll always do my best for you Even if it kills me to Mum, is daddy coming home soon? Is daddy coming back? Where'd you get ideas like that? And you better look soon, son, before it's all gone We said goodbye at Noksapyeong The girls are sweet in Itaewon Sometimes I stop and have me one Sometimes I smile and walk on by And wander down to Noksapyeong All aboard, all aboard, it's a-rolling out fast Taking all you hoped would last And you better look soon, before it's all gone We said goodbye at Noksapyeong

Down On Me 03:06
lyrics

Falling down on me, I try and I go For where and for what, honey, I’ll never know I need to find a little place with a roof overhead Before it all falls down on me Well, my dreams are all hiding neath the snow and the rain I lost them last September and I searched in vain Maybe they got lost, maybe I should do the same Before it all falls down on me Well the debtor-man is knocking with his hand on my door I paid him last week, he wants to visit some more I think I’ll hide below the window with my knees on the floor Before it all falls down on me And I try, oh, mama, I try Looking out my back window while the day goes by. Well hold on to me baby there’s a storm up ahead I’ll kiss your eyelashes and I’ll cradle your head Don’t you think a body’s warmer with a soul in it’s bed Come and fall right down on me

The Line 03:42
lyrics
buy track
I’m gonna ride that old mail train down the line And every new town, that I find Be the next town that I’m about the leave behind I can hear that old engine blowing smoke Burning higher, as we go Take the saddle off, and throwing down the yoke I’m gonna ride that old mail train down the line Dream of the day when it’ll be mine The wine in this town is running try I’ll move on, switch to rye Run down the street sing “Heaven When I Die” I need a place where I can cool my feet Watching this water, makes me feel complete After sweating out in this old dusty heat I’ll be singing songs with steel rails keeping time And every new song, that I find I’ll sing it in the next town, call it mine Oh honey, I ain’t loved no one but you You’re the first one, I ever told that to Just tell me your name, and I’ll give mine to you

In The Ground 04:42
lyrics
buy track
There's trouble in the neighbourhood I'm gonna shut it down for good I got the stick, I got the mud All over the playground Your train is nearly pulling in And you'll be on your own again Living room and bathtub gin In old Korea Town There ain't no escaping, son In spite of all the good you've done There's someone gonna someday come And stick you in the ground You're shutting off the TV show And sitting in the afterglow But it was only static though That's coming down the line They tore your house down long ago You got to let some flowers grow The master trick that's up your sleeve Won't change a thing come time to leave In spite of all that you believe And prophets you have found There ain't no escaping, son In spite of all the good you've done There's someone gonna someday come And stick you in the ground The world is always gonna spin Time to make some room again Doctor, doctor - if you please Turn the light out as you leave The darkness, me, and my disease And stick me in the ground And there ain't no running from In spite of all the good you've done There's someone gonna someday come And stick you in the ground There ain't no escaping, son In spite of all the good you've done There's someone gonna someday come And stick you in the ground

Just A Little Rain 05:02
lyrics
buy track
It's not always gonna be this dark at seven It's not always gonna be these kind of clouds It's not always gonna be this stormy weather It's just a little rain, we'll wait it out There's always gonna be some kind of trouble There's always gonna be some cross to bear Something come along and burst your bubble It's just a little rain, we'll make it there But it's not always gonna be this dark at seven It's not always gonna be these kind of skies The sun is always there, it's only hidden It's just a little rain, I'll keep you dry Staring down the wind, it keeps on blowing All you see are dark clouds up above It's just a little hell through which you're going It's just a little rain you're frightened of It's not always gonna be this dark at seven It's not always gonna be these kind of doubts It's not always gonna be this stormy weather It's just a little rain, we'll wait it out It's just a little rain...

Bedrock was our spiritual home; a place in Haebangchon, Seoul - or HBC - without which Honey Jam Sam could never have formed. It was Simon Hoppe's bar, one which he tended with a gift for bringing musicians together. Our first show, and numerous ones that followed, was possible because of his support. Our musical family, our fans, the people we've reached, and the record you are listening to right now - for all these we owe him a huge debt. Transience is the melody that all ex-pats must whistle, and change is the dissonant note as leitmotif.

This album is dedicated to the memories and friendships forged through Hoppe's creative vision. Here’s to your next venture, brother, and HJS are looking forward to being a part of it.
