Lucinda Williams - Fancy Funeral Lyrics
Some think a fancy funeral
Would be worth every cent
For every dime and nickel
There's money better spent
And covering the bills
Instead of little luxuries
And unnecessary frills
Lovely yellow daffodils
And lacy filigree
Pretty little angels
For everyone to see
Lilly of the valley
It's three or four months' salary
Just to pay for all those things
So don't buy a fancy funeral
It's not worth it in the end
Goodbyes can still be beautiful
With all the money that you'll spend
'Cause no amount of riches
Can bring back what you've lost
To satisfy your wishes
You'll never justify the cost

Lucinda Williams Fancy Funeral Comments
Got me with"Overtime"
Love Lucinda .
Not a fan of Meryl Streep , one of Hollywood's most elite ,
because she went from being an actress to a political activist.
Always glad to find a new gem...
Beautiful production thank you to whoever put this together.

was asked 2 mondays ago to officiate my co grandfather's, sisters, funeral. your every words of which, assuaged the situation.
chose to read from the distributed words of our modern day prophets of our ongoing book of act's. Cohen's "if it be your will" Dylan's "every grain of sand" & "when he returns" lightend up by prine's "everybody"
"As soap is to the body, so tears are to the soul"-Yiddish saying
"Death is that dark backing that a mirror needs if we are to see anything."-Saul Bellow
"All the fathers & mothers who went before us and their greatest artists await us all."

That's some equally well written and played song.

That`s the funeral scene from Out of Africa
I absolutely love Lucinda's voice, such depth and passion. This is one of my fav songs - in fact it was my 1st exposure to her, have been hooked ever since.
What a woman. I love her, too.
Christ Lucinda, I love you
This is a great composure by her, these types of her songs are why she's such an awesome composer. Great post, thanks
