Liggers At Your Funeral - Judie Tzuke

It didn’t need to say a word

About the fact that you had died

And just that you might not be back

From somewhere you had been

In behind the television screen

How the run of old films begin

Tributes come and trlbutes go

Which ones were you in

And who am i to speak for you

When so much has been said

Is it true?

You’re really dead?

Liggers at your funeral

Appearing as you know them well

Oooh they come from miles around

To lay their lies and flowers down

(The) television caught me tonight

A little love lost on the night

The audience looked on

The mirror cracked, she’s coming back

She’s wearing black today

She’d be a fool to stay away

Stories by the old wives appear

They all get paid for being here

And watching from the wings

Do you get the chance to tell the truth

About what’s being said

Or is it true you’re really dead?

(The) television caught me tonlght

It didn’t need to say a word

About the fact that you had died

And just that you might not be back

From somewhere you had been

In behind the television screen

Liggers at your funeral

Appearing as you know them well

Oooh they come from miles around
