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
Lives
Oh...
And now, now, now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine
Mine, mine
Happening in mine

[@thereligion4169]

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]

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.

Listen to ANDY ROURKE!!! Listen to that bass line, it's rythmic, it's melancholic, it's base for Johnny's ethereal sounds. He's not flashy, he's not flat, he plays bass as a bass player should, but adds so much depth and melody to a lot of Smiths songs. Really good bass player.

[@robbie007]

One of their very best, from a creme catalogue of songs. Up there in the top 10 for me of their songs. Many of Morrissey lyrics can be open to interpretation. Not this one. A bitter song, imploring the listener not to make a mockery of the suffering, loneliness and loss of others, because you never know it may be you next time. Very true in the excess eighties when this cam out and the polarised society. In this one the protagonist mocked others but then it happens to them. They result to killing themselves by slashing their wrist in a car but at least dying with a smile on their face - as to show those that find them they were happy in death whether this was the truth. Another magnificent song with intense lyrical content, supported by Marr's guitar which is epic. This song is so good.
