that joke isn't funny anymore


I still have the pirated CD of the best of the smiths. Hehe Of course, at first, "this charming man", and "heaven knows I'm miserable now" are the only songs I know and the other tracks? I skipped it. hehe Until I heard this song. At first it was boring because it's slow but when Marr's rifts and Morrissey's voice came in, that's it. I love this song.

Cleverness is really present here. Definitely. Eventhough the lyrics are somewhat, repeatitive, the whole song made me stare, my life is some what, a joke which is not funny anymore. hehe

Well, the song is the longest of my fave the smiths songs, and the rhythm of it is like a hymn due to the long rifts and vocals, fantastic. Oh the trick of the song is at the end, which you thought it's over, but not yet. Marr is not finished yet. hehe

That's how great the song is, I definitely recommend anybody to listen to it. I know it did not reach any top 1 position, even in the UK but damn, it's good. Morrissey should be given an english title. Sir Morrissey and Sir Marr, the other two? Forget it. hehe

I also checked that it's not only the emo factor present or even the cleverness of the songs, but also some desparation in a bright side. I mean, like I said yesterday, the tone is fun but when you check the lyrics, it's not fun. hehe

That's why I love them, but as number 2 band because of New Order. hehe I mean even they are fun, but my real feelings show in New Order/JD. However, the smiths are still great. Ah in terms of talent, of course, I will go to New Order/JD.

Well, that's all and it's getting shorter. hehe

Song about being desperate? Look tomorrow my friend.


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
