Your "Funeral" Song

[EdS]

Kill By Death - Motorhead
Highway to Hell - AC/DC

Not just as they are about right but I've had soem good times jumping around to the over the last 25 years

And:
Fate - new Model Army:
I put my hands into the roaring flames
I felt the pain as it started to burn
I've done the same thing over again and again
As if I never ever wanted to learn
Moving through the world at obsession speed
Leave a dust trail crossing the land
I'm crying out in fury to the gods of fate
Come on, get me if you can

I'm a master at the art of how to kill
I've killed the things that I love the best
There's blood on the walls of my home
Patterned with the coward's kiss
And love it is the key that unlocks the door
But you never know what's waiting behind
Crying out in fury to the gods of fate
Come and get me if you can

I'm screaming in the wind, screaming in the rain
Screaming in the face of the storm
Howling in out in the roaring surf
With the waves crashing down into foam
To feel something without a weakness
As She batters me down into the sand
Crying out in fury to the gods of fate
Come on and get me if you can

Now I understand what they told me years ago
How the stakes get higher and higher the further that you go
It's a bad time to look for forgiveness
It's a bad time for searching for home
The Wall came down in a thousand pieces
Now everybody's building their own
Disillusioned little children of the Western World
Time hangs heavy in our hands
We cry out in our fury to the gods of fate
Come on and get us if you can
We're crying out in our pride to the gods of fate
Come on and get us if you can
I'm crying out to the gods who couldn't care less
Come and get me if you can

I always saw my coffin trundling along the conveyor belt towards the curtains in the Crematorium........to the tune of "Movin' Right Along' from the Muppets Movie......

Class. I'm of Irish descent so it's not going to be a sad affair....

If you're going to have AC/DC Highway to hell... you really should have Hells Bells to back it up with

I could go for the triple set and have Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be.
I'm pretty sure I'm heading there.

Most likely:

Queen "Procession" (Album Queen II), an instrumental,

and Manowar "Heart of Steel":

Build A Fire A Thousand Miles Away
To Light My Long Way Home
I Ride A Comet
My Trail Is Long To Stay
Silence Is A Heavy Stone
I Fight The World And Take All They Can Give
There Are Times My Heart Hangs Low
Born To Walk Against The Wind
Born To Hear My Name
No Matter Where I Stand I'm Alone

Stand And Fight
Live By Your Heart

Always One More Try
I'm Not Afraid To Die
Stand And Fight
Say What You Feel
Born With A Heart Of Steel

Burn The Bridge Behind You
Leave No Retreat
There's Only One Way Home
Those Who Laugh And Crowd The Path And Cut
Each Other's Throats
We'll Fall Like Melting Snow
They'll Watch Us Rise With Fire In Our Eyes
They'll Bow Their Heads
Their Hearts Will Hang Low
Then We'll Laugh And They Will Kneel And Know
This Heart Of Steel Was
Too Hard To Break
Too Hard To Hold

Stand And Fight
Live By Your Heart
Always One More Try
I'm Not Afraid To Die
Stand And Fight
Say What You Feel
Born With A Heart Of Steel

actually I might have to add as a blast from my youth in the 80's
Welcome to Hell - Venom

Sympathy for the devil by the rolling stones. Well if that's where I'm going I might as well garner some good will on my way down.

Midnight train by johnny cash or some weepy to make people feel bad afterall I had a **** day when I died so after my death I want others to suffer a bit too.

Actually your next of kin actually own your carcass when you die and your send off so you might as well accept that they'll be playing candle in the wind and get tour own back before your death by making them suffer while you're alive!! The only consolation is that most of the people really don't want to be stuck in the church seeing you off. I mean most people only see the inside of a church during christenings, marriages or funerals anyway. Unless of course you include holiday sightseeing trips to some old church or cathedral in some old city or town near the costas or whatever. If they ever allow funerals in the centre aisle of Tescos that's where I'll have mine then at least people will know where it is and feel more at home. Hell they could see me off and get their shopping in too. Imagine it, me wheeled in on a trolley with a wonky wheel while family have trolleys full of the weeks shopping waiting for it to finish so they can get through the checkout and back home. Imagine it Tescos crematorium out the back of the hot chicken counter. You could cook your next of kin's chicken supper while they burn your dead body.

On a lighter note I guess you should always finish on a positive note. How about a karaoke favourite - Hey Jude by the Beatles? Get your folks singing along. Get them in the mood for a ****-up afterwards in the bar.

Why by Fleetwood Mac,

There's no use in crying, it's all over
But I know there'll always be another day
Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away


Hmm I don't know. Hopefully plenty of time to decide.
