Title: Your Funeral Song
Post by: janaage on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, 09:45:44
"I've always fancied having the birdy song or something similar played at my funeral.
Oh and i'm not a lamer if you please." Faringdondingdong Jan-2005.
_________________________________________________

Don't know if this has been asked before but what song do you want played at your funeral?

Think I'll settle for a solo Bagpiper playing Amazing Grace (first verse) then about 50 other bagpipes play the rest before it settles for a sole bagpiper to play the final verse.  I reckon that'd get my relatives in floods of tears.

My mate wants Killing in the Name of by Rage against the Machine.  Great intro as the coffin is carried out.

So the out of control bus which hurtles into you will have nothing to do with your passing???

Unless you were wlaking home pissed up stopped to light a fag justas that bus mounts the pavement...  The rest if history.

If this does happen you could have "the wheels of the bus"

Or my choice of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out :]

and if a double decker bus crashes into us
to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
and if a ten ton truck kills the both of us
to die by your side, well, the pleasure
the privilege is mine


:D

I am the resurection - Stone Roses
followed by this poem as i am being buried.
The worms crawl in ,
and the worms crawl out,
the ones that crawl in are lean and thin,
the ones that crawl out are fat and stout,
your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out,
your brain goes tumbling down your snout,
be merry my friends be merry.
