If I ever leave this world alive...

Day 24 - A song you want to play at your funeral

If I Ever Leave This World Alive - Flogging Molly

There's not much to say about this without sounding depressed, which I guess is why it's taken me so long to post it.  I don't like thinking about death.  Who does?  I have a friend who kind of freaks out when it's brought up.  We were once watching a movie where a lady passes away and she was so overcome that she had to leave the room.  It gave us all a good laugh when she left exclaiming "I can't breathe!" (we sound horrifically rude but I swear, if you were there you would have laughed as well).  But in all honesty I have no place to laugh.  I hate thinking about it, I hate writing about it.  Which is why I'm going to stop writing about it.  But hey, what's a blog post without some great lyrics?!  

If I ever leave this world alive

I'll thank ya for the things you did in my life.

If I ever leave this world alive

I'll come back down and sit beside your feet tonight.

Wherever I am you'll always be

More than just a memory.

If I ever leave this world alive.

If I ever leave this world alive

I'll take on all the sadness that I left behind

If I ever leave this world alive

The madness that you feel will soon subside.

So in a word don't shed a tear,

I'll be here when it all gets weird,

If I ever leave this world alive.

So when in doubt just call my name,

just before you go insane.

If I ever leave this world alive.

Hey, I may never leave this world alive 

But if I ever leave this world alive

She says "I'm okay, I'm all right

Though you have gone from my life"

You said that it would, 

Now everything should be alright.

Love and Rockets,

Rodney

p.s. I'm a sucker for Irish punk rock.
