I wouldn't have a Manics song, it'd be "End Come too Soon" by Wild Beasts

I always said I'd have JDB's Don't Look Back as my funeral song but I changed my mind and now I want this http://youtu.be/91NBugHwJjc

Door To The River for me. As you started the thread Manicbird, what's yours?

Probably William's Last Words. There aren't many Manics songs that I think would lend themselves well to being played at a funeral, but I'd have to have something by them played seeing as they're my favourite band.

I'd also have The Next Life by Suede, and Eulogy by Frank Turner (purely because of the lyrics).

Imperial Bodybags as brought in, Slash and Burn as it goes into the curtain (with additional slashing and burning sound effects after the song ends). Don't mean to sound flippant, but I've never taken my funeral seriously - other songs I want played include Ha Ha You're Dead by green day.

I think Morning Comrades would be good to have played as a final send off!

I started thinking about this, and I thought of one, then another and another!! looks like it's going to be a long funeral for me!

Black Dog on my shoulder, So Why So Sad, La Tristesse Duerera, Be Natural, Everything Must Go, Small Black FLowers That Grow in the Sky, A song for departure, raindrops keeps falling on my head,

My funeral song will be "Yes", my first Manics song, followed by "Malibu" by Hole and finally with "Letter to God", by Courtney Love. Yep. And you are all invited
