Most inappropriate hospital play list

Visiting hospital the other day and listening to hospital radio I heard in the course of a short period
The Boomtown Rats- I hate Mondays-"And the lesson today is how to die!"
and
The Beatles Eleanor Rigby-
Eleanor Rigby died in the church
And was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt
From his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
I thought it was perhaps the most inappropriate playlist for a hospital BUT I'm sure that GNers could come up with something better. So please post your suggestions. I know it's black humour but sometimes that gets you through.

Old and Wise - The Alan Parsons Project (an achingly beautiful song about someone about to die)

Spirit by Chris de Burgh (an old man is dying an looking back on his life)

Oh thanks so much! What a laugh! Do you suppose we could have a CD specially for funerals and hospital radios?
