    This song in particular resonates strongly in me, and there's a message for me within describing how no matter what people like to say, the joke only isn't funny when they've suffered the punchline. You simply will laugh at others struggles and sufferings until you yourself have experienced a similar tragedy, then all of a sudden it's all your own personal indignation. And don't we detest people having similar if not identical struggles to our own?

    • @nate2748
      @nate2748 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I concur brother. That statement about “suffering the punchline” is too true. It’s important to be careful with your words and how you joke. Everything isn’t fair game and you can really hurt the people around you. Even with close friends you only know a fraction of who they fully are. This song is a rare gem.

    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 ...
    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
    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

    Lyrics
    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 ...
    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
    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
    Oh ...
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    Oh ...
    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
    Oh...
    And now, now, now it's happening in mine
    (I've seen this happen)
    Happening in mine
    Oh...now, now
    I've seen this happen in other people's
    Lives
    Oh...
    And now it's happening in mine
    (Happen)
    Happening in mine
    Oh...
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    Happening in mine
    I've seen this happen in other people's

    Man, this song has such a deep meaning to me.
    Being someone who used to be so. . . Dumb, and not knowing what it felt to be sad, until I experienced it by my own.
    It's actually depressing, seeing how I used to laugh with my "friends" about people with depression, not realising that I was just in the same state, how now I'm the one suffering and how bad I am.
    This song, this song is exactly how I need to describe this feeling, and I love it for it. The Smiths saved my life, I'll never forget them, I wish I could say thanks to them, I really wish. Truly a perfect band. :'D
