Around when I was approaching 40, Time by Pink Floyd.
A real “you do know that you’re going to be dust in not too long, fucking get on with getting what you want from life”.

Sooo many - here’s one from my youth.
So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

Where are those happy days
They seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you
But you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
It used to be so good
ABBA Sos
And you can have it all,
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt.
Johnny Cash Hurt |

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying how do you do
They're really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose
What I chose to do
So go easy on me
… I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
That probably doesn't even show |

Remember you're a wreck, an accident
Forget the freak, you're just nature
Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean
Shit, snort and blaspheme
Let the heads cool and the engine run
Because in the end
Everything we do
It's just everything we've done |

Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughin' as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
And...
Always look on the bright side of life  |

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
Pink Floyd wish you were here .. the lyrics are beautiful loved them the first time I heard them |

"And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Nice one Iris!"
Indeed. By the good goo dolls not that pish roanan keating copied |

I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
Of all the things I should've said
That I never said
All the things we should've done
Though we never did
All the things I should've given
But I didn't
Oh, darling, make it go
Make it go away
Kate Bush woman's work

Ships in the night
Searching for day
Beckoning lips
So far away
Shadows adrift
Hiding from light
Ships in the night
Sometimes you feel
Then again you can't
Morning comes down
Soon after the dance
Time slowly drowns
Streets so unreal
Needing to heal
Harbours of love
Shining so calm
Far beyond pain
Outside of harm
Why must we move
Into the rain
Again ...
Ships in the night
Riding the waves
Yesterday slips
Into the haze
Memories ripped
Sliding from sight
Ships in the night
Maybe you win
Maybe you lose
Future seems like
Just another ruse
Sirens invite
Us to begin
Come right on in
Harbours of love
Shining so calm
Far beyond pain
Outside of harm
Why must we move
Out of the sun
Into the rain
Again ... |

Basically anything written by the great James Taylor hits me right where it counts but this is my favourite....
The secret of life
Is enjoying the passage of time.
Any fool can do it,
There ain't nothing to it.
Nobody knows how we got
To the top of the hill.
But since we're on our way down,
We might as well enjoy the ride.
The secret of love
Is in opening up your heart.
It's okay to feel afraid,
But don't let that stand in your way.
'Cause anyone knows
That love is the only road.
And since we're only here for a while,
Might as well show some style.
Give us a smile.
Isn't it a lovely ride?
Sliding down, gliding down,
Try not to try too hard,
It's just a lovely ride. |

I can't listen to that song without the tears flowing. It's just so emotive...holds a lot of meaning for me too. x |

Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
I had to lose you to recall life's not really all sunshine and laughter
Loneliness remembers what happiness forgets
And when you fall in love too fast, sunshine doesn't last forever
After and ever, a drop of rain
First came the pleasure and then the pain
We were the talk of the town
Ask anybody around, they'll let you know

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star,
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Oh can't it be mines?
Takes me back to an exact day in my life many years ago... |

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below
There's no sickness, no toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
And all my loved ones, who've gone on
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm just going over home
Wayfaring stranger |

I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
landslide, Fleetwood Mac.
I even have the lyrics on my wall |

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Fantastic choice  |

Where did you come from cotton eyed joe” .
Damn you joe !!!!

The whole of All too well by Taylor Swift but particularly these lyrics from the song
“You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath”
“Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much, but maybe this thing was a masterpiece till you tore it all up”
“The idea you had of me, who was she?”

Ouh, it feels so good
When you let go of all the drama in your life
Now you're free from all the pain (free from all the pain)
Free from all the game (free from all the game)
Free from all the stress (free from all the stress)
So find your happiness
I don't know
Only God knows where the story ends for me
But I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whether we win or lose
And I choose to win...
Mary j Blige no more drama |

Lynyrd skynyrd - simple man.
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you
Some sunny day oh yeah
Oh take your time don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman yeah and you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this oh babe if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
Oh yes I will
Oh don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this oh babe if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
And baby be a simple real simple man
Oh be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man |

I aspire to feel like this;
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate, driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow |

Bowie
I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try, I try |

Definitely going to be my funeral song as my coffin disappears behind the curtain - if I have some notice I may even make a video of me singing it
