Joni Mitchell - Funeral lyrics

"..led an enormous band." [Swede:] "Oh, But I know he's very lucky too, because when Mingus dies there's gonna be the same funeral they had for Duke Ellington... in a big church and the whole country's going to say, wow, he was so far out, you know what I mean?" [Charles:] "No man, no big church! I'm going to be buried man - I got my sh** all figured out!" [Swede:] "You're going to get a big funeral - you're famous!" [Charles:] "Vedanta Society, India, I'm going to be buried in India!" [Swede:] "I know, but you're going to get a big funeral in this country, and they'll play your music for two days" [Charles:] "Who's going to do that?" [Swede:] "It's far out isn't it, y'know what I mean?" [Charles:] "...You want me to hurry up, man" [Swede:] "No I don't want you to hurry up, but in the future, I know you're going to get a beautiful funeral - I can see it!" [Charles:] "But I got it all planned, man!" [Swede:] "...You're going to be here many more years." [Charles:] "You know the Vedanta Society in India.. Yuga?" [Swede:] "Yeah" [Charles:] "Well I'm going to be buried by that church" [Swede:] "Yeah?" [Charles:] "So they gotta find another place to do it, that's all." [Swede:] "...Plenty of time to go. You have another fifty years... you're lucky!" [Charles:] "Uh, Duke lived to be 77 years old right?" [Swede:] "Right!" [Charles:] "I'm gonna cut him!" [Swede:] "Coltrane was very strong, you know..." [Charles:] "I'm gonna cut Duke!"
