Lucinda Williams - Fancy Funeral Lyrics
Some think a fancy funeral will be worth every centBut every dime or nickel is money better spentBetter spent on groceries or covering the billsInstead of little luxuries and unnecessary frillsLovely yellow daffodils and lacy pillow fringePretty little angels for everyone to seeLily of the valley and long black limousinesIt's three or four months' salaries just to pay for all those thingsSo don't but a fancy funeral, it's not worth it in the endGoodbyes can still be beautiful without the money that you spendThere's no amount of riches that will bring back what you've lostTo satisfy your wishes, no way to justify the cost
