Not the best thing to play if being cremated. :

The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown.


I am the god of hell fire, and I bring you
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
I'll see you burn

You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all of it's going to burn
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
Oh no, oh no, oh no, you're gonna burn

Fire, to destroy all you've done
Fire, to end all you've become
I'll feel you burn

You've been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world
And your mind, your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind
Now 's your time, burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind
OOhhh
Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
You're gonna burn, you're gonna burn
You're gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

Fire, I'll take you to burn
Fire, I'll take you to learn
Fire, I'll take you to bed

Snuff - Arsehole

What an arsehole

what a f***ing wanker

what a toss pot, a toe rag, a fart in a jar.

I've been dreaming

a dream that keeps recurring

I turn the corner, you're there, it turns into a nightmare, I wake with a shout.

I'm an arsehole

I'm a f***ing wanker

'cause I can't get the grips with what the f*** you're about.

I'm an arsehole

I'm a f***ing wanker

I'm a toss pot (Bastard!) a toe rag (Fuckwhit!) a fart in a jar.

We're all arseholes

we're a bunch of wankers

we're a bunch of toss pots (Fuckwhits!) toe rags (Gobshites!) farts in a jar

You're all arseholes

you're a bunch of wankers

you're a bunch of toss pots (Fuckwhits!) toe rags (Wetwipes!) farts in a jar

We're all arseholes

we're a bunch of wankers

we're a bunch of toss pots (Fuckwhits!) toe rags (Gobshites!) farts in a jar

You're all arseholes

you're a bunch of wankers

you're a bunch of toss pots (Fuckwhits!) toe rags (Wetwipes!) farts in a jar

great band, saw them play the Albert about 10 years ago- f***ing awesome

Why did i not think of this earlier, another Cremation song,
ASH - BURN BABY BURN

 

[wigman]

cremation song,
smoke gets in your eyes

 

[medicine man]

not a play on words, or particularly amusing- but, nether the less Frankie Teardrop by Suicide would be inappropriate for a funeral.
