lyrics

I stood by your grave and I placed down the flowers
Marigolds two at a time
Moved onto the next, another dear friend
I’ve made you your favourite meal
I remember the play in the old folk’s home
What a ruckus you caused when you swore
I fell about laughing and couldn’t get up
But the carpet was just fine for me
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Your grave is the oldest, I thought you’d go first
How ironic that age gets you now
I’ve place sugar sculls in an inverted cross
It’s funny when we cause offence
I remember the time when you hid in the coffin
And scared all the folk’s in the church
I fell about laughing and couldn’t get up
They all took it so seriously
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
I got to the last grave and read my own name
What an awesome tombstone this will make
What will the make in a hundred years’ time
Of a single inscription like “dude”
I turn around quickly and your all around
And the party it will never end
We might be all dead and this might be the future
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Age never tempted our lust for our lives
What a fine celebration we’ll make
Wake from this dream and you’re still here
What a fine celebration we’ll make
What a fine celebration
What a fine celebration
What a fine celebration we’ll make
