lyrics
The Man who Died at a Funeral
I once knew a man who died at a funeral.
They were taking out the coffin,
and everyone stood up, but he stayed down.
His old weather-beaten soul had just left town.
Well the undertaker didn’t know just where to look.
There was this sense of opportunity,
but it wasn’t his place to say.
And he had his hands full right then, anyway.
They went through his pockets and they found a key.
And someone said, we should go to his house,
and start to look for names
of brothers and sons and old flames.
They found a number for a daughter, who lived in Germany.
They hadn’t spoken for twenty years,
because of some old family row.
And there was nothing to be done about that now.
She said ‘I don’t give a damn what you decide to do.
He can go to Hell with his money, and I’ll bet
you won’t find my name on the will.
But you can put him in the graveyard, and send me the bill.’
Life is not a roll of the dice:
if you can only cut once,
be sure to measure twice.
A gifted writer, player and producer, Matt's 'Lessons of War' is a fascinating collection of collaborations - but he has a great back catalogue, too - and new songs due soon... Anthony Toner
