Tilnefning nr. 21 - Kjartan

That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore - The Smiths[1985]



Lag af Meat is murder



Nánar á songfacts

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

why must you 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 peoples' lives
and now it's happening in mine...
