Oh, come on, I bet I'm not the only one with a playlist for their funeral/the bunfight afterwards.
And, by the way, wear black.
It's a pain in the arse choosing an outfit. Wearing black is much easier. But try not to be too sad.
OK, here's mine.
The ones you're allowed to have a good cry to.
Angel - Eurythmics
Into The West - Annie Lennox (from LOTR III)
Have a glass of something, and a vol-au-vent, and relax a bit to:
Stay By Me - Annie Lennox
Don't Talk to Me About Love - Altered Images
Saved By Love - Amy Grant
Revolution Earth - B52's (this one's for the Juggler)
In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
Start getting a bit smashed now, and eyeing up the considerable talent at my funeral. Most of my friends are, actually, pretty easy on the eye. I won't mind at all if you pull. It's what life is all about.
Prettiest Eyes - Beautiful South
The Acoustic Motorbike - Luka Bloom
Spirits (Having Flown) - The Bee Gees
Slipping Through My Fingers - Abba (for my beautiful daughter)
Let Your Love Flow - The Bellamy Brothers
Central Reservation - Beth Orton - it reminds me of being young
E=Mc2 - Big Audio Dynamite
Please feel free to continue to the pub, or just go home, or go to work, or whatever. It's always a relief when it's over.
Come on then, cough up you lot. What's your funeral playlist?
