THAT JOKE ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE
(Morrissey & Marr)

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 
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 [bad word] 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
