Loading...

d g
it’s gone beyond a joke, it’s gone beyond a laughing matter
d g
we had a flag out in the wind, now it’s reduced to just a tatter
c c c
i get the feeling it’s all getting out of control
c d g c
i want to be back where we can feel with our real senses ooooh
c d g c
i want to be back where we had every day defences

chorus
c d c
what did we have? ooooh what did we do?
c d c
what kind of love could not pull us through?
g d a
it was another kind of world and n-body spoke, it was…

getting beyond a joke, getting beyond a laughing matter, matter, matter
i walked out onto the street, the buildings, the people
were reduced to tatters, tatters, tatters
it’s almost like i am being crushed from inside
i want to touch your hand but it feels a skeleton’s grasp ooooh
i want to be in command but i’m just a speck in a swell in a rasp

what did we have? ooooh what did we do?
what kind of love could not pull us through?
it was another kind of time and n-body spoke, it was

verse
getting beyond a joke, it was getting beyond a joke,
it was getting beyond a joke

instrumental completes verse and chorus

verse
it’s getting beyond a joke, it’s getting way beyond a laughing matter (x3)
hands slip, feet trip, lips twist in a grimace every sound’s a clatter (x3)
paper and sky are torn in a terrible way
everything’s been reborn into a world that isn’t quite dying
all of the clothes we’ve worn are too soaking wet to be dry in

chorus 2
what did we have? ooooh what did we do?
what kind of love could not pull us through?
it was another kind of time and n-body spoke, it was…

verse
getting beyond a joke, it was getting beyond a joke, (repeat and fade)
