"Leave Out All The Rest" By LinkinPark
The lyrics pretty much speak for themselves. I dreamed I was missing You were so scared But no one would listen Cause no one else cared After my dreaming I woke with this fear What am I leaving When I'm done here So if you're asking me I want you to know [Chorus] When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed And don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest [End Chorus] Don't be afraid I've taken my beating I've shared what I made I'm strong on the surface Not all the way through I've never been perfect But neither have you So if you're asking me I want you to know [Chorus] When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed Don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest [End Chorus] Forgetting All the hurt inside You've learned to hide so well Pretending Someone else can come and save me from myself I can't be who you are [Chorus] When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed Don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest Forgetting All the hurt inside You've learned to hide so well Pretending Someone else can come and save me from myself I can't be who you are I can't be who you are |

Amazing Grace. On bagpipes. I would PICK this one too! Except add Drums. LOL..wow! I would be interested in hearing that "version"..at least once I have heard it MANY MANY TIMES...that's the way FIREMEN and POLICE go out. THEY have the "Firefighter Pipe and Drum Corps" play at all their FUNERALS here. VERY SAD! |

Dead! -My Chemical Romance.
And if your heart stops beating I'll be here wondering Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life And if you get to heaven I'll be here waiting, babe Did you get what you deserve? The end and if your life won't wait Then your heart can't take this Have you heard the news that you're dead? No one ever had much nice to say I think they never liked you anyway Oh take Me from the hospital bed Wouldn't it be grand It ain't exactly what you planned And wouldn't it be great if We were dead Ohh Dead! Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish You never fell in love Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life And if you get to heaven I'll be here waiting, babe Did you get what you deserve? The end and if your life won't wait Then your heart can't take this Have you heard the news that you're dead No one ever had much nice to say I think they never liked you anyway Oh take Me from the hospital bed Wouldn't it be grand To take a pistol by the hand And wouldn't it be great if We were dead And in my honest observation During this operation Found a complication In your heart, so long Cause now you've got Maybe just two weeks to live Is that the most the both of you can give? One Two, One Two Three Four LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!- Now come on, LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!- Oh Mother ****er If Life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If Life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If Life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If Life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |

"Bury Me Deep" by Poi dog Pondering
A lifetime of accomplishments of which the dirt knows none, only in death can one truly return Return the carrots, the apples and potatoes, The chickens, the cows, the fish and tomatoes. In one glorious swoop, let the deed be done and bury me deep so that I can be one... And all around my muscle and all around my bone, don't incinerate me or seal me from the dirt which bore me, the bed that which from the rain falls upon and the fruit comes from For the dirt is a blanket, no fiery tomb, No punishment, reward, or pearly white room And you who say that in death we will pay, The dead they can't hear a word that you say Your words are not kind, sober or giving, they only put fear in the hearts of the living So put away your tongues and roll up your sleeves, and pick up your shovel and bury me deep. |
