The Night Before The Funeral Lyrics
The night before the funeral, I got some.
I sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum.
I took her clothes off and I played with her bits
And she did the same but it took ages for me to come.
Too drunk and getting old...
It was a lovely show for a god I don't believe in.
I couldn't sing a single note at the service.
When they did "How Great Thou Art" all I could think of
Was my old l.p. of hymns by Elvis.
There's no such thing as sin...
I said to Laura, "I hope I know you forever
And when I'm going, I'm going the Viking way.
Lay me in a boat with my favourite things
And set me on fire then send me on my way.
Kick me out to sea."
There's no such thing as sin...

This song is sad... It reminds me of my dad's funeral every time I listen to it... That is because my sister was listening to this song the morning of the funeral. The lyrics are kind of funny though! "Too drunk and getting old..." lol.
even though the songs meaning is obvious, i'd like to point out how straight forward adian and malcom's song writing is...brilliant
