This is Creepy...

When I think about my eminant demise, I tell Mags I want a trdaitional Irish wake. Lots of food, beer and laughter. I also told her one night, possibly after one or two pints, that I wanted a keg of Guinness by my casket. I wanted everyone to rest a pint glass on my casket and write their name or a message in the 'ring' the glass left.
Well, whilst searching iTunes the other day, I came across this song. It's by a band called the Push Stars and it's called....

"Put A Keg On My Coffin"

Put the keg on my coffin
and think of me every so often
have a 'Losers Day' parade for all my friends,
drink up life like a river 'til
the pizza man delivers
smile and know I loved you 'til the end

Well here's what you do
when my time comes to pass...
Charlie told me throught the reflection in his glass
Don't waste time praying
'cause I'm never comin' back
Just throw a party in my name

Put the keg on my coffin
and think of me every so often
have a 'Loser's Day' parade for all my friends..
drink up life like a river
'til the pizza man delivers
smile and know I loved you 'til the end

Well here's what you write on the stone over my grave
His friends were earned and a not a penny saved
Don't waste time crying 'cause you too are on your way
to meet me at the pawn shop in the sky

Put the keg on my coffin
and think of me every so often
have a 'Loser's Day' parade for all my friends
drink up life like a river
'til the pizza man delivers
smile and know I loved you 'til the end
smile and know I loved you 'til the end
smile and know I loved you 'til the end
