Disclaimer – It will seem as if I only like Morrissey's Vauxhall and I album. That is not true. I like all of his albums (and The Smith's) but I have to admit that I do LOVE Vauxhall and I. But that's just me.
1. First of the Gang to Die – Morrissey
In this scenario, I am Hector. I (in this scenario) am the romantic Robin Hood figure who stole everyone's heart away. Taking my hypothetical a bit farther (further?) I have decided that I am, of course, the first of my gang to die. The funeral is an overload of sadness and grief until this song is played (since this is my fantasy maybe Moz could actually play) sensing the irony (or is it coincidence) the mood quickly changes from despair to something approaching giddiness.
2. Interlude – Morrissey with Siouxsie Sioux
Not too much mystery surrounding why I would choose this song. It is beautiful, ethereal, and melancholy. It could be used as either an entrance or an exit song, lol. Maybe this should play while the mourners, one at a time, approach the casket to lay a single flower atop.
3. The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get – Morrissey
This song is not only a favorite, it is wholly appropriate. Consider that my death has either been caused by a crazed stalker or caused by someone defending him or herself against my crazed stalking…
4. Now My Heart Is Full – Morrissey
He went through life (yeah, I'm rockin' the third-person) looking to fill the cavity called his heart. Once it was finally filled he left this world (not everyone's cavity runneth over!).
5. Used to be a Sweet Boy – Morrissey
Eventually he blossomed into a sweet man.
