words and music Traditional

Look at the coffin with golden handles
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead?

    Let's not have a sniffle,
    Let's have a bloody good cry
    And always remember the longer you live,
    The sooner you'll bloody well die

Look at the preacher, bloody well santified (bloody sanctimonious)
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead?

Look at the choir boys, bloody castrati
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead?

Look at the widow, bloody great female
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead?

Look at the mourners, bloody great hippocrites
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead?

Look at the flowers, all bloody wilted
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead?

Look at the tombstone, bloody great boulder
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead?

Look at the whiskey, in buckets and bottles
Isn't it grand boys to be bloody well dead?

Carpenters  (OK, laugh..... but she really had a beautiful voice!)

[SandyB]

Listening to  Pure Cuban .. a stunning album ...  emotive .. romantic .. one track brings on the image of  a mother stroking the  brow of her troubled / sick child .. the pure emotion i picked  from that song was reasonably correct ..  I'm currently  copying it for my good firend Jan of  littlefoot farm ..  he has a working knowledge of spanish  and  said yes .. although  I could  not  understand the words  I picked up on the emotional content of that one particular song .. ....  Been copying  the  entire   Adiemus / Karl Jenkns/ Miriam Stockley/  .  collaborations that I have ...    his  amour from  Rumania  is totally taken by  the genre of music ...  It feels good on the soul ...

[SandyB]

Karin Carpenter ... yes a wonderful talent  and in collaboration with her brother made a wonderful  musical  team .. pity she had  to starve herself to death  via anorexia ..  a good talent   gone forever ...
