How Much is Enough, by You Am I. For those who dont know it:

Would it stain
If the lights fell down on your name
And each face began to look all the same
How much is enough?
Did you ever want to just lose touch with everybody you know?
In the morning
When you've wiped his taste away
The last of the red and all the records you played
How much is enough?
Did you ever want to just lose touch with everybody who heard?

Did you ever want to join a collective
Throw a party just to make sure you missed it?
Did you ever want to be a collective?

Would you sell out
To the dealer with the lowest cost
And burn every proscenium floor
How much is enough?
Did you ever want to get in touch with somebody you hurt?

Offered up some kind of collective
So you can never ever be left selected
Did you ever want to be a collective?

If the lights, they fell
Do you think you could tell
Just how much?

Crowded House use to play "One Step Ahead" in their live set in the early days. I saw them do it at Le Rox in 1986. Never re-recorded it though.

For mine, I was born under a wandering star. And the original version by Lee Marvin.

And on the tombstone I want

Here lies good ole Coorong
Who slept beneath the stars
And basked beneath the sun
He lived in a world of going to do
And died with nothing done

Fair enough but I guess there is just something about their version that does it for me.
Is I think one of the most covered songs ever.

Well yeah! And why do you think that is??? Because the original was so bloody good!

Bloody thieving bastard.
I would like you good people to know that I requested Mungo Jerry to make sure that Wild Horses was the song played at my funeral when we saw the Stones two years ago.
S'allright though, I'll die well before Mungo, & have it played just for spite.

I'm not as much in to the whole "beautiful song" sort of funeral song.

My song would be an obscure Pearl Jam song entitled "Push Me Pull Me"

Very "spoken word" ...

I had a false belief
I thought I came here to stay
We're all just visiting
All just breaking like waves
The oceans made me, but who came up with me?
Push me, pull me, push me, or pull me out
Push me, pull me, push me, or pull me out

So if there were no angels, would there be no sin?
You better stop me before I begin
But let me say: if I behave, can you arrange a spacious hole in the ground
Somewhere nice, make it nice
Where the land meets my tide
Push me, pull me, push me, or pull me out
Push me, pull me, push me, or pull me out

Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun
Push me, pull me
Push me, pull me
Push me, pull me
Push me, pull me
Push me, pull me
Push me, pull me

I've had enough, said enough, felt enough, I'm fine
