Steve Earle's "Billy Austin"
My name is Billy Austin I'm Twenty-Nine years old I was born in Oklahoma Quarter Cherokee I'm told Don't remember Oklahoma Been so long since I left home Seems like I've always been in prison Like I've always been alone Didn't mean to hurt nobody Never thought I'd cross that line I held up a filling station Like I'd done a hundred times The kid done like I told him He lay face down on the floor guess I'll never know what made me Turn and walk back through that door The shot rang out like thunder My ears rang like a bell No one came runnin' So I called the cops myself Took their time to get there And I guess I could'a run I knew I should be feeling something But I never shed tear one I didn't even make the papers 'Cause I only killed one man but my trial was over quickly And then the long hard wait began Court appointed lawyer Couldn't look me in the eye He just stood up and closed his briefcase When they sentenced me to die Now my waitin's over As the final hour drags by I ain't about to tell you That I don't deserve to die But there's twenty-seven men here Mostly black, brown and poor Most of em are guilty Who are you to say for sure? So when the preacher comes to get me And they shave off all my hair Could you take that long walk with me Knowing hell is waitin' there Could you pull that switch yourself sir With a sure and steady hand Could you still tell youself That you're better than I am My name is Billy Austin I'm twenty-nine years old I was born in Oklahoma Quarter Cherokee I'm told |

The Green Fields of France (aka No Man's Land, originally by Eric Bogle)
How do you do young Willie McBride, Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside, And rest for a while 'neath the warm Summer sun, I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done I see by your gravestone you were only 19 when you joined the great fall-in in 1916 I hope you died well and I hope you died clean Or young Willie McBride was it slow and obscene. CHORUS: Did they beat the drum slowly did they play the fife lowly Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down Did the band play the Last Post and Chorus Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined Although you died back in 1916 In that faithful heart are you forever 19 Or are you a stranger without even a name Enclosed then forever behind a glass frame In an old photograph torn, battered and stained And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame. The sun now it shines on the green fields of France There's a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance And look how the sun shines from under the clouds There's no gas, no barbwire, there's no guns firing now But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land the countless white crosses stand mute in the sand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man To a whole generation that were butchered and damned. Now young Willie McBride I can't help wonder why Do those who lie here know why did they die Did they believe when they answered the call Did they really believe that this war would end wars Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain The killing and the dying were all done in vain For young Willie McBride it all happened again, And again and again and again and again |

Gloomy Sunday sung by Billie Holiday. When it first came out, it was banned from the radio stations for being too depressing. It's also known as the suicide song and the version you find today is a nicer version of the original lyrics.
Sunday is gloomy, My hours are slumberless Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers Will never awaken you Not where the black coaches Sorrow has taken you Angels have no thoughts Of ever returning you Wouldnt they be angry If I thought of joining you? Gloomy sunday Gloomy is sunday, With shadows I spend it all My heart and i Have decided to end it all Soon therell be candles And prayers that are said I know But let them not weep Let them know that Im glad to go Death is no dream For in death Im caressin you With the last breath of my soul Ill be blessin you Gloomy sunday Dreaming, I was only dreaming I wake and I find you asleep In the deep of my heart here Darling I hope That my dream never haunted you My heart is tellin you How much I wanted you Gloomy sunday |

"Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks
Goodbye to you my trusted friend We've known each other since we were nine or ten Together we climbed hills and trees Learned of love and A B C's Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees. Goodbye my friend it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Pretty girls are everywhere Think of me and I'll be there We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons Out of time...... Goodbye Papa please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to teach me right from wrong Too much wine and too much song Wonder how I got along. Goodbye Papa its hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little children everywhere When you see them I'll be there. We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons Have all gone. We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons Have all gone. Goodbye Michelle my little one You gave me love and helped me find the sun And every time that I was down You would always come around And get my feet back on the ground. Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air With the flowers everywhere I wish that we could both be there We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons Have all gone All our lives we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons Out of time...... We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun --------------------------------- or -------------------------- "Cats in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad You know I'm gonna be like you" And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home dad? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok" And he walked away but his smile never dimmed And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him" |

Although its a depressing song on its own - its even more depressing knowing he recorded it just shortly before his death by alcohol poisoning. |
"Alone Again (Naturally)" - Gilbert O'Sullivan
In a little while from now, If I'm not feeling any less sour I promised myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower, And climbing to the top, Will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to who Ever what it's like when your shattered Left standing in the lurch, at a church where people saying, "My God that's tough, she stood him up! No point in us remaining. May as well go home." As I did on my own, Alone again, naturally To think that only yesterday, I was cheerful, bright and gay, Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do, The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down, Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch, Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt, All about God and His mercy For if He really does exist Why did He desert me In my hour of need? I truly am indeed, Alone again, naturally It seems to me that There are more hearts Broken in the world That can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do? (instrumental break) Now looking back over the years, And what ever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old, My mother, God rest her soul, Couldn't understand, why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start with a heart So badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally |

Johnny has a message for ya's.
http://www.stevekwan.com/cash_finger.jpg Haha. It is a really depressing song, but for some reason I really like it. Also like his remake of Rusty Cage. I don't know why, I hate pretty much all country music except for Johnny. |

It was Harry Chapin (and later covered by Ugly Kid Joe). Cat Stevens was too busy endorsing the islamic death sentence imposed on author Solomon Rushdie for his 'Satanic Verses' novel. |

It is the song I want played at mine as the ceremony starts. When I was a moody depressed teenager I put it on one night (love REM) and actually listened to the words and it stopped me from doing something very stupid. I want Fish Heads played as the ending song btw. |
