Movin' On Up - Primal Scream

Dave liked this track and used to play it a lot

I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer, out of me
I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer, out of me

I'm movin' on up now
Gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on

I was lost, now I'm found
I believe in you, I've got no bounds
I was lost, now I'm found
I believe in you, I got no bounds

I'm movin' on up now
Gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on

Repeat Chorus

I'm getting outta darkness
My light shines on
I'm getting outta darkness
My light shines on

Pain Killer - Turin Brakes

The Turin Breaks track was a tune that Dave and Sue used to listen to on the way to and from Hospital and had a great deal of significance for them -

Batten up the hatches, here comes the cold
I can feel it creeping, it's making me old
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out

You need something better than the bacon and eggs
The creaking in the walls and the banging in the bed
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out

Summer rain,dripping down your face again
Summer rain,praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind

My love giving me head, feeling very guilty,breaking the bread
Losing my attention, taking the world on
So batten up the hatches, here comes the cold
I can feel it creeping, it's making me old
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out

Summer rain,dripping down your face again
Summer rain,praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind

My love, my love, my love, my love oh my love

Summer rain,dripping down your face again
Summer rain,praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind

Summer rain,dripping down your face again
Summer rain,praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind
Leave all this misery behind
Leave all this misery behind
Leave all this misery behind

Jigsaw - Marillion

Chosen By Dave's sister Sam -

We are jigsaw pieces aligned on the perimeter edge
Interlocked through a missing piece
We are renaissance children becalmed beneath the Bridge of Sighs
Forever throwing firebrands at the stonework
We are Siamese children related by the heart
Bleeding from the surgery of initial confrontation
Holding the word scalpels on trembling lips

Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye
Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today
And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet
This is the ricochet

Drowning tequila sunsets, stowaways on midnight ships
Refugees of romance plead asylum from the real
Scrambling distress signals on random frequencies
Forever repatriated on guilt laden morning planes
We are pilots of passion sweating the flight on course
To another summit conference, another breakfast time divorce
Screaming out a ceasefire, snowblind in an avalanche zone

Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbye
Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today
And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet
This is the ricochet

Are we trigger happy?
Russian roulette in the waiting room
Empty chambers embracing the end
Puzzled visions haunt the ripples of a trevi moon
Dream coins for the fountain or to cover your eyes
We reached ignition point from the sparks of pleasantries
We sensed the smoke advancing from horizons
You must have known that I was planning an escape

Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbye
Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today, starts today
And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet
This is the ricochet

I'll be seeing you again, on the ricochet
Will you show me the pieces next time, on the ricochet
I'll be seeing you again, on the ricochet
There's a problem, there's a ricochet

Just Give The DJ a Break - Dynamix II

Back in the 80's Dave was in a Breakdance crew, his break-name being 'Beatfeet'. This was one of the tracks that Paul and Gavin and friends would use to induce Dave to Body Pop. It would have made Dave laugh to know that it was on the list to be played at his funeral.
