Join Me For Life

Even though I mostly listen to MOR when scrubbing the floors (and so should you), the repertoire of the popular Finnish music group HIM includes several quite snappy tunes. Their biggest hit, Join Me In Death, is really catchy and has the capability to make my feet tap and fingers snap to the beat. But one thing has started to bother me: the lyrics are a bit sad and even depressive. I'm not even sure if it is advisable for the young 'uns to listen to this kind of music, at least often. So here's my improved version of the song lyrics. Cheer up, Ville Valo et al, life isn't so bad (and feel free to record this version)!

Join Me In Death For Life

Baby join me in death for life
Baby join me in death for life
Baby join me in death for life

We are so young
our lives have just begun
but already we're considering
escape from this world marriage

and we've waited for so long
for this moment to come
was so anxious to be together
together in death lawful matrimony

Won't you die live tonight for love
Baby join me in death for life
Won't you die live
Baby join me in death for life
Won't you die live tonight for love
Baby join me in death for life

This world is a cruel happy place
and we're here only to lose enjoy
so before life tears us apart fulfills our dreams let
death a wedding official bless me with you

Won't you die rejoice tonight for love
Baby join me in death for life
Won't you die live happily ever after
Baby join me in death for life
Won't you die dance tonight for love
Baby join me in death for life

This life ain't worth living Seize the day!
This life ain't worth living It's time for dancing in the streets!
This life ain't worth living Don't worry, be happy!

Won't you die smile tonight for love
Baby join me in death for life
Won't you die make love with me
Baby join me in death for life
Won't you die live tonight for love
Baby join me in death for life

Baby join me in death for life
