Funeral song

Richard Hell- "Time"

Time and time again I knew what I was doing and
Time and time again I just made things worse
It seems you see the most of what is really true when
You're stepping into your hearse


Only time can write a song that's really really real
The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels
And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals


And when I want to write a song that says it all at once
Like time sublimely silences the whys
I know that if I try I'm going to take a fall at once
And splatter there between my lies

We are made of it and if we give submission
Among our chances there's a chance we can choose
And if we take it, by uncertainty's permission
Then it's impossible to lose

we played Reign in Blood at my friend's funeral but the idiots at the home wouldn't turn up the volume past anything more than just barely audible.

Nirvana - Come As You Are
Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded In Chains, i would play this song at my funeral because its my favourite song to play on drums (ok so im really crap at it but hey and it would piss the hell out of my aunty who says girls like me shouldn't be listening to such satanic music -_-

No Distance Left To Run - Blur

My Way - Frank Sinatra (my grandaRAB funeral song as well, maybe I'll have the Sex Pistols version. I killed a cat.)

Relight My Fire - Take That, if I get cremated.

Love Will Tear Us Apart Again - Joy Division

Free Bird, Lynyrd Skynyrd, 10:08 long. Keep the fuckers waiting. After all, you only die once.

Lucky Man, because hopefully I'll lead a life in which I'll feel like a lucky man when I die.
