Lyrics

The night before the funeral, I got some - I sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum
I took off her clothes 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 and send me on my way. kick me out to sea..."
