about

I had this chorus for a long time..Ha ha has...hee hee hee and the call and response.

I could hear it working live band so tried a cowrite with a friend Arbie, a fine songwriter and guitarist from the songwriters circle who helped shape the verses.

I had the idea that the protagonist of the song is having an out of body/ near death experience and he's floating out of his body, looking at himself and his life with a sense of calmness and amusement.

We also recorded a slightly different version called 'Life can be so funny' which is the same but it has just basically got that word in it!

lyrics

Death Can Be So funny

V1.
Some people think that death is sad
but I have never found it so
It really isnt all that bad
if you just relax and let it go

V2
So wave goodbye to all your cares
To see them go is such relief
As you sleep softly in your grave
It's good to have a firm belief

Chorus
So i say Ha ha has hee he hee
Everybody laugh together
Death Can be so funny

Ha ha has he he hee
Everybody laugh together
Death Can Be So Funny

V3
I saw the tunnel saw the light
Saw my life flash before my eyes
Found my lost keys saw my ex-wife
And although I am, dying it feels alright

Chorus
So i say Ha ha haa he he heee
Everybody laugh together
Death Can be so funny

Ha ha ha hee hee hee
Everybody laugh together
death can be so funny


Bridge
All life's a stage
We have our parts to play
But is it a drama or a tragedy
The fat lady sings
Ian standing in the wings
It's then I see that it's a comedy

Chorus
