Lyrics
Requiem
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hatches matches then dispatches
All in the embers of my ashes
Thy will was done
Oh wipe that worry from your face
You’ll die when you see my new face but
Do the time
You’re in for life
Oh, my friends, I hear you sing
The Lord’s my shepherd, really, what a song to sing
Why bring me flowers, when you know that I can’t smell a thing?
For the folks I leave behind
I’m in heaven well imagine my surprise
I’m really flattered that you came here to remember
And look I made the news again
In Requiem, with all my friends
There is no shame here, I feel no loss
The pawn and king both in the same box
And no one famous
Please, don’t panic
It looks so tragic
All switching seats on the Titanic
I’m sad to go
Hope you enjoy the show
Oh, my friends, I hear you say
A lot of lovely things about me here today
I’m glad you didn’t let the truth get in the way
To all my friends I leave behind
They put a spread on so let’s all go back to mine
I really love it that you came here to remember
And look we made the news at ten
In Requiem with all my friends
This dyin’ ain’t much of a living no no
Will we want what we’re given heaven knows
Oh, my friends, I hear you sing
The Lord’s my shepherd really what a song to sing
Why bring me flowers, when you know that I can’t smell a thing?
For the folks I leave behind
I’m in heaven well imagine my surprise
I’m really flattered that you came here to remember
And look I made the news again
In Requiem, with all my friends
With all my friends
With all my friends
With all my friends
