The Smiths - That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore (With Lyrics)

[Bennyboy1985]

The only words I can find to describe this song are depressingly beautiful, and gloriously bleak...

[studiosusTHEFIRST]

Many people want to kick you when you fall down. But why? Or does it matter? Not necessarily in personal therapy, all though it might help. But it matters in society. Some of them hurt you because they are hurt them selves. What do we do about that?

[wishofrain]

thank you, amazing version

[amtrotec2]

@wishofrain Thanks! It was not like I wanted. Originally I did with the audio in the studio, but the video was blocked, so I had to replace the audio for this live version.

[wishofrain]

@amtrotec2 there's lots of studio version videos around and not enough good quality live versions like this one you share, so thanks again and greetings from Chile

[amtrotec2]

@wishofrain: Thank you! I watch a lot of audio quality before posting, and whenever possible, I give a gain in the audio.

[hihat101]

sitting in my bedroom on my own looking out across the council estate in east london where i grew up as a teenager, wanting to be loved, wanting to not be alone wanting to be popular, but realising and accepting my fate that i wasn't, being a daily joke to those at school, in my family, and where i grew up  this is what kept me alive on those dark summer evenings, seeing the lights of homes in the distant and wishing i could of been with them instead of being imprisoned within concrete & clay

[TheVascoPaiva]

@hihat101 theres a tear in the corner of my eye...cause what you just described is exactly what is happening to me

[TranceKontrol]

This has always been one of my favorite Smiths songs, and each and every time that I hear it , I find myself sitting stunned at memories that it evokes for me. As I stated in an earlier post regarding this tune, I had a close family member pass away and had the line , "I've seen this happen in other peoples lives, and now its happening in mine", as it was happening. I hate to love this song.

[Solstisol]

Learn to spell.

You've got the title wrong, again!

[Blastbarnacle]

God, the way Johnny makes that guitar sing. Goodness me.

[MultiGemini666]

Bring me to tears....
