Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley

[Lonnie]

It'll be a happy occasion, I'm having 'Lonnies Skiffle Party', followed by 'So long, its been good to know you', both by Lonnie Donegan.

[noxlumos]

Behind Blue Eyes (Linkin Park version) and Take this longing (Leonard Cohen) niether of which are quite the Lord is my sheperd, but I think your funeral song should have some relevance to your life so it'll be those.

Mine is wind beneath my wings by Bette Middler and to be greedy, Pink Floyd, wish you were here.

[JustSia]

Ace of Spades rules!!!

As for me it would depend on how I go. So it's between Bathory and Sentenced, which goes something like...

I'll kill myself:
I'll blow my brains onto the wall!
See you in hell,
I will not take this anymore!
Now, this is where it ends, this is where I will draw the line
So, 'scuse me while I end my life

Tears in heaven - Eric Clapton

Goodbye Cruel World.........Pink Floyd

[johnizere]

Goodbye, cruel world,
I'm leaving you today,
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye all you people,There's nothing you could say,
to make me change my mind,
Goodbye.

[TheTemptress]

forgot to say what mine is...for a long time ive asked for mine to be 'it was a very good year'by old blue eyes!! just sums me up.....

When i was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When i was seventeen

When i was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When i was twenty-one

When i was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When i was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now i think of my life as vintage wine
>from fine old kegs
>from the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a mess of good years

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
