Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

I guess you can think of this as an unofficial Paladin Playlist. I'm kinda in the dumps. On top of everything else that's happened... my aunt dying, my uncle dying, my wife being in a car accident, my apartment flooding... now my truck has broken down. The engine is gone. I did something stupid and killed a vehicle I've had since I was a teenager. 

It was the truck I drove through high school. The truck I took to university. The truck I took my first girlfriend out in. Now it's beyond repair. 

So... I want to share a song that I played on loop the day of my uncle and aunt's joint funeral. I'd like to think my uncle would've gotten a kick out of it. He was that kind of guy.

Actually, I've kinda decided this is the song I want played at my funeral. So... without further ado, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, from the movie Monty Python's Life of Brian, by Eric Idle.

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best
And...
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing!
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin,
Give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow.
And
Always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
