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

Fall down
Fall down

Fall down
Fall down

Fall down
Fall down

When they fall down
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
Oh
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
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now  now  now it's happening in mine
