Lyrics

The funeral band plays a song of despair

For the mourners who wish they were dead

Half of the crowd says "I spit on your grave"

While the other says take me instead

The church bells are wringing the tears from our eyes

And it looks like you're lying in bed


So I'll see you in the beyond

It's high time that we were gone ahead

With a hand for the funeral band


The funeral bands bids adieu, au revoir

Bon voyage and then Goodnight, Irene

A low flying plane spells out words in the sky

But nobody knows what they mean

The cotton wool letters fade into grey

Like the smoke on our chewing gum dreams


Only the two of us know

They wrote the words "hello" and "Please

Give a hand for the funeral band"


The funeral band takes their tips from the hat

That they left surreptitiously near

Your people remembered you as they walked out

And their change clinked and turned into beer

You only live once but there's plenty of you

And you die every day of the year


Before their echo dies

I came to say goodbye, my dear

With a hand from this funeral band
