Best songs at a wake

I want Joe Cocker signing

 

Seems I've got to have a change of scene

'Cause ev'ry night I have the strangest dreams;

Imprisoned by the way it could have been,

Left here on my own or so it seems.

I've got to leave before I start to scream,

But someone locked the door and took the key.

You feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' too good myself.

Well, you feelin' alright

I'm not feelin' too good myself.

Well boy, you sure took me for one big ride,

And even now I sit and wonder why,

That when I think of you I start myself to cry,

I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry.

Gotta stop believing in all your lies,

'Cause there's too much to do before I die.

You feelin' alright ......

Don't get too lost in all I say,

Yeah by the time, you know, I really felt that way.

But that was then; Now, you know, it's today,

I just can't get off so I'm here to stay.

'Til someone comes along and takes my place,

With a diff'rent name, oh, a diff'rent face

You feeling alright ......

 

And Nancy Faust

Naked Raygun, "Wonder Beer"

 

Drunk again -- not a weekend

Isn't life a f***in' ball?

Should have read all the writing on the wall

Pissed again -- one more loose end

Ever see such a f***in' gall?

But I'm laughing at angels as they fall

 

Drunk again -- not a weekend

My insides feel black and blue

Will this healing elixir pull me through

Drunk again -- where is Lou Reed?

Come on Iggy -- tell me true

Wish Roy Orbison could tell me what to do

 

(chorus)

So I'll drink

To the wonder, while I wander

If there are gods they must be drunk

Rev'ling in the madness you and I

So I'll wonder, while I wander

If there are gods they must be drunk

Rev'ling in the madness you and I

 

Drunk again not a weekend

Give me needles -- sleep on pins

As I long for the sweet Bacchanalian din

Damned again -- since that weekend

From too much adrenalin

hide my eyes and take two more aspirin

 

(chorus)

 

Drunk again -- not a weekend

Pagan alchoholiday

Cheer and beer hounds -- that still keep me at bay

Drunk again -- till the binge ends

My glass fortress my mainstay

And the wonder of each new sordid day
