The night before the funeral, I got some. 
I sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum. 
I took her clothes off and I played 
with her bits and she did the same but 
it took ages for me to come. 

Too drunk and getting old 
It was a lovely show for a god I don't believe in. 
I couldn't sing a single note at the service. 
When they did "How Great Thou Art" 
all I could think of was my old LP. of hymns by Elvis. 

There's no such thing as sin
I said to Laura, "I hope I know you forever and when I'm going, 
I'm going the Viking way. 
Lay me in a boat with my favourite things 
and set me on fire then send me on my way. 
Kick me out to sea." 
There's no such thing as sin
