  • Song: That Joke Isn't Funny Any More
    Band: The Smiths
    Album: Meat is Murder (Originally), The Sound of The Smiths (Compilation album)
    LYRICS:
    Parked the car at the side of the road
    You should know
    Time's tide will smother you
    And I will too
    When you laugh about people who feel so
    Very lonely
    Their only desire is to die
    Well, I'm afraid
    It doesn't make me smile
    I wish I could laugh
    But that joke isn't funny anymore
    It's too close to home
    And it's too near the bone
    It's too close to home
    And it's too near the bone
    More than you'll ever know ...
    Kick them when they fall down
    Kick them when they fall down
    You kick them when they fall down
    Kick them when they fall down
    You kick them when they fall down
    Kick them when they fall down
    You kick them when they fall down
    Kick them when they fall down
    It was dark as I drove the point home
    And on cold leather seats
    Well, it suddenly struck me
    I just might die with a smile on my
    Face after all
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    And now it's happening in mine
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    And now it's happening in mine
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    And now it's happening in mine
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    And now it's happening in mine
    Oh ...
    I've seen this happen in other people's Lives Oh ... And now it's happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    Oh ...
    And now, now, now it's happening in mine
    (I've seen this happen)
    Happening in mine
    Oh... now, now
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    Oh ...
    And now it's happening in mine
    (Happen)
    Happening in mine
    Oh ...
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    Oh ...
    And now, now, now it's happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Mine, mine
    Happening in mine

    Played this incessantly when my beloved father died. Still makes me burst into tears 10 years later. ' Now it's happening in mine'

    How many of you saw it happen in other peoples lives and felt smug and content, only to see it happen in your own life later down the twisting road? BTW Johnny Marrs best guitar ever.
