That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore - The Smiths

Park 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

Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down

Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down

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
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
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
And now  now  now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine
Oh    now  now
I've seen this happen in others lives
And now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now  now  now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine
Mine  mine
Happening in mine
