The Night Before the Funeral Lyrics by Arab Strap

Philophobia (Deluxe Edition)

1998

[Verse 1]
The night before the funeral, I got some -
I sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum
I took off her clothes and I played with her bits
And she did the same but it took ages for me to cum
Too drunk and getting old...

[Verse 2]
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 LP of hymns by Elvis
There's no such thing as sin...
There's no such thing as sin...

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 3]
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 and send me on my way
Kick me out to sea"

[Outro]
There's no such thing as sin...
There's no such thing as sin...
