Graham Parker - Beyond A Joke Lyrics
Pre>d gIts gone beyond a joke, its gone beyond a laughing matterD gWe had a flag out in the wind, now its reduced to just a tatterC c cI get the feeling its all getting out of controlC d g cI want to be back where we can feel with our real senses oooohC d g cI want to be back where we had every day defencesChorusC d cWhat did we have? ooooh what did we do?C d cWhat kind of love could not pull us through?G d aIt was another kind of world and nobody spoke, it was...Getting beyond a joke, getting beyond a laughing matter, matter, matterI walked out onto the street, the buildings, the peopleWere reduced to tatters, tatters, tattersIts almost like I am being crushed from insideI want to touch your hand but it feels a skeletons grasp oooohI want to be in command but Im just a speck in a swell in a raspWhat did we have? ooooh what did we do?What kind of love could not pull us through?It was another kind of time and nobody spoke, it wasVerseGetting beyond a joke, it was getting beyond a joke,It was getting beyond a jokeInstrumental completes verse and chorusVerseIts getting beyond a joke, its getting way beyond a laughing matter (x3)Hands slip, feet trip, lips twist in a grimace every sounds a clatter (x3)Paper and sky are torn in a terrible wayEverythings been reborn into a world that isnt quite dyingAll of the clothes weve worn are too soaking wet to be dry inChorus 2What did we have? ooooh what did we do?What kind of love could not pull us through?It was another kind of time and nobody spoke, it was...VerseGetting beyond a joke, it was getting beyond a joke, (repeat and fade)/pre>
