Momus - I Refuse To Die lyrics

Death comes for all
But, I plan to be out when he calls
Out sunbathing in the snow
But don't tell Death I told you so
I refuse to die!

The reaper came to say I had to die
I said, "Sorry, Grim, some other time!"
I said, "Old Miss Bryce who lives next door
Go ask her, she's 104!" i refuse to die!

I will not bow to the reaper's scythe
I'll ride away on my Triumph motorbike
I don't have time, see, I've got plans
I've gotta build a house
On the Morecambe Sands i refuse to die!

Well you can take your
Hourglass and your scythe
And stick it in a place
Where the sun don't shine
I won't go easy into the night
I will not go without a fight
I refuse to die!

Life may not be spiffy every day
But, it's a damn sight better
Than rotting clean away!

I'd rather chase scallops on
The Blackpool sands
I'd rather play Scrabble my thyroid glands
I'd rather be in a deckchair by the sea
I'd rather be at Lyon's drinking tea
I'd rather be just about anywhere
Than lying in a coffin in my underwear
I refuse to die!
