Lyrics for The Night Before the Funeral

The night before the funeral, I got some I sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum I took her clothes off and I played with her bits And she did the same but it took ages for me to come Too drunk and getting old It was a lovely show for a God I don't believe in I couldn't sing a single note at the service When they did "How Great Thou Art" all I could think of Was my old L.P of hymns by Elvis There's no such thing as sin I said to Laura, "I hope I know you forever" "And when I'm going, I'm going the Viking way" "Lay me in a boat with my favorite things" "And set me on fire then send me on my way" "Kick me out to sea" There's no such thing as sin
