I Know It's Over
The Smiths
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over
my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well... Enough said!
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over
my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to cut me
Do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Although she needs you more than she loves
you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said
"If you're so funny then why are you on
your own tonight?
And if you're so clever then why are you
on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining then why
are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good-looking why do you
sleep alone tonight?
Because tonight is just like any other
night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over
my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling
over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling
over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling
over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling
over my head
