That joke isn't funny anymore


Park the car at the side of the road
You should know
Times 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, Im afraid
It doesnt make me smile
I wish I could laugh

But that joke isnt funny anymore
Its too close to home
And its too near the bone
Its too close to home
And its too near the bone
More than youll 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

Ive seen this happen in other peoples
Lives
And now its happening in mine

Ive seen this happen in other peoples
Lives
And now its happening in mine

Ive seen this happen in other peoples
Lives
And now its happening in mine

Ive seen this happen in other peoples
Lives
And now its happening in mine
Oh ...

Ive seen this happen in other peoples
Lives
Oh ...
And now its happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine

Ive seen this happen in other peoples
Lives
Oh ...
And now, now, now its happening in mine
(Ive seen this happen)
Happening in mine
Oh... now, now

Ive seen this happen in other peoples
Lives
Oh ...
And now its happening in mine
(happen)
Happening in mine
Oh ...
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine

Ive seen this happen in other peoples
Lives
Oh ...
And now, now, now its happening in mine
Happening in mine
Mine, mine
Happening in mine

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Smiths were a British indie rock band formed in Manchester in 1982. The group consisted of Morrissey (vocals), Johnny Marr (guitar), Andy Rourke (bass) and Mike Joyce (drums). Considered one of the most influential bands in independent music of the 1980s, The Smiths combined catchy melodies with introspective and often melancholic lyrics by Morrissey, which addressed themes such as alienation, loneliness and unrequited love. Their music had a significant impact on the British and international music scene, influencing genres such as post-punk, shoegaze and Britpop. Among the most representative songs of The Smiths are "How Soon Is Now?", "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" and "This Charming Man". The debut album "The Smiths" (1984) is considered a classic of the indie rock genre, while "Meat Is Murder" (1985) addressed political and animal rights issues. After a series of successes, The Smiths disbanded in 1987 due to internal conflicts. Morrissey embarked on a successful solo career, while Johnny Marr became a renowned producer and musician collaborating with artists such as Modest Mouse and The Cribs.
