I wonder...

Can you tell which countries are being described in these quotes? They're from songs...

"There are things nobody will tell you. There are things nobody will give you. You're born and you die here. You're born and you die here. You're born in the country of half-truths."

"Only God could create such beauty...and it's impossible to find two. And everyone knows that's the truth, and they cry when it's time to leave."

"We don't care about bleeding bodies. We will fight and tussle till the ice burns. And we will dance till the sun gets up. Our flag will sway at the top. We are the toughest, the strongest, the most wicked, the most beautiful. We are a gang made of steel. Now we are scoring (goals)"

"I know the people. I know the rats. The stupidity which, screams to the sky. I'm by your side, in light and shade...anytime! No matter what you do, that's where I'm from, that's where i belong, that's where the ice melts off my soul as a glacier in April."

"Livin' in a land down under, where women glow and men plunder. Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover!"

"The land of ice and snow, where the midnight sun blows. Hundred thousand lakes glow, in the land of ice and snow. Northern lights guide our way, come whatever may. Forest god protects our day in the land of ice and snow. Where Koskenkorva flows, where the freezing wind blows. Summer nights are white and warm in the land of ice and snow."

"We're the friendliest customers in the world. We're modest-we have money. The very best in any sport. The taxes here set a world record."

"'Hi Seoul', chasing after those shining dreams. Tomorrow is shining, just like the sunlight." (there's a huge hint in there...just so you know)

"...Even if the winter thing tend to freeze. We've got the world monopoly on trees and our country's bordered by three different seas. We invented the zipper, we've got expertise. We made insulin to combat disease..."

P.S. I have been to five of these countries :)
BTW if you haven't heard Canadian Please yet, then you're missing out on some laughs. Lauren needs to hear it since she's pretty much Canadian... i think she'll love it.
