I KNOW IT'S OVER Lyrics

Artist: 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 ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit 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
(Though 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
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la ...
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 ?
I know ...
'Cause 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
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
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 ...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even 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 ...

by Eastcida on 7/18/2008 11:19pm I'm living this song right now, it feels like it could have came out yesterday and been just as relavent
by Brian on 7/19/2008 5:00am Friends don't let friends listen to the smiths while depressed or connecting.

by EMANUEL on 9/23/2008 1:21am I LOVE THE SMITHS AND THIS HAPPENS TO BE THE SONG I CAN RELATE TO THE MOST ITS SO TOUCHING ITS LIKE A MASTERPIECE
by just someone from the crowd on 10/1/2008 3:59pm She broke my hearth :( I gave her everything and she broke my hearth :(
by Worse broken heart in the World on 10/6/2008 5:18pm :( Why? I didn't do anything to deserve what happend to me. :(
by wrong! on 10/14/2008 12:06am the line is 'it takes GOODS to be gentle and kind' not 'it takes GUTS to be gentle and kind'
by krokus on 10/15/2008 2:54pm the best since 20 years or so
by Lost boy now a man on 10/17/2008 12:56am Lost boy in jr. college 20 years ago. I lived these lyrics but now life is good. Thanks
by Maggie May on 10/22/2008 1:49pm Good God, I'm going to die..
by Archangel on 10/25/2008 5:40am Mother, I can feel.... :(
by Confused!! on 10/25/2008 1:38pm i really love this song... He simply loves another girl.
by Willow on 10/29/2008 11:26pm Incredibly beautiful, and Jeff Buckleys hauntingly bitter sweet version is exquisite. His casual thanks & goodbye at the end break my heart.
by Lost my life support on 11/14/2008 10:16pm perfect for someone like me, from the looks of these comments i guess this pain has a way of bringing like minded people together too bad we're all alone =/
by Grubbanax on 11/20/2008 9:18pm Does anyone know who it is about? Morrissey is almost certainly gay (although he always said he was celibate).
by Caroline on 11/29/2008 1:19pm I like how most songs by the Smiths make you feel like they're about you. And it's good to know that a lot of people feel this way, it connects people.
by Daydream Believer on 11/30/2008 7:03am "love is natural and real but not for you my love" -slimply heart wrenching lyrics. Beautiful but so depressing. I can connect to the lyrics, sadly.
by Valerie...healing on 12/2/2008 5:27pm Listened to Jeff Buckley sing as I read the lyrics, Im lost for words, so excruatingly painful and magnificantly beautuful......I feel just as raw as when he told me there was someone else. Istn it strange to think that all us mere mortals are capable of feeling such pain, and some of us capable of seeing the beauty in it.
by betina on 12/10/2008 2:18pm so many people, but one soul...
by jake of this place on 12/10/2008 3:21pm When I first heard it, I hated it. But some things happened... and now it's relevant to me. And it's better every time I hear it.
by This Charming Man on 12/10/2008 3:50pm Pure genius...beautiful
by Unhappy on 12/15/2008 8:16am "It's so easy to laugh/It's so easy to hate/It takes strength to be gentle and kind" So so true. I keep having to remind myself of this every time I speak to my ex girlfriend who I still love and miss dearly.
by Clouded sunshine on 12/21/2008 3:29pm Searing irony that my ex also loved the Smiths and this song is so poignant... I know it's over And it never really began But in my heart it was so real... Ultimately, he'll end up on his own at night, but still I cling...
by Vicar in a tutu on 12/21/2008 5:02pm So much of everything ever felt squeezed into a lyric. Magnificent.
by ori on 12/28/2008 11:06am oh my god! can't go a day without this one!
by Cogswell on 12/30/2008 9:13pm Response to: wrong! on 10/14/2008 12:06am The line is "Guts". It takes guts to be gentle and kind. This is classic Morrissey. If you own the CD all you have to do is open the case to see the lyrics. Every Smith's album included the lyrics.
by Cristina on 1/14/2009 11:11am Es la única canción que cuando la escucho me hace llorar. Cómo puede alguien en el mundo sentirse así?
by Death eater girl<3 on 1/28/2009 4:50pm is just so fucking beutiful is very painful and pretty.. love it myspace.com/tinguita_jessica love morrissey
by Musiclover on 2/20/2009 11:57am Way overrated. Ne Me Quitte Pas is far more poignant (and tuneful). Morrissey is one of the most overfeted artists out there. I just don't get it.
by nicky on 2/23/2009 3:38am this lyrics make me feel blue
by dilara on 2/23/2009 4:22am great song,makes me cry
by the.one.you.left.behind on 2/23/2009 1:37pm it takes a sad,sad man to write a song like this...a song so piercing and beautiful
by Mind@ease on 2/25/2009 5:55pm this song makes me think on a lonely day.. right when he says "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 ? I know ...haha beautiful song overall...
by sandy on 3/9/2009 4:45pm oh please call me..
by a charming man on 3/13/2009 9:04pm lovely...
by Little Baby Nothing on 3/16/2009 9:34am I'm on the other side of this, the person it's written about & it still hurts, even if you're not the one at the sh*tty point of the love triangle. The bit that says "if you're so.... why are you on your own tonight?" just sums up what I want to say to him. If he was as funny/clever/entertaining/good looking as he thinks he is, maybe he wouldn't be on his own tonight. These words work for everyone involved, not just the one who ends up alone.
by penisgonzales on 3/17/2009 4:09am I believe he has succeeded in truly synchronizing himself with the core of his soul, which in return amplifies the transcending multi-dimensional definition of humanity we all are. It resonates within all of us because it is the sum of our experience channeled via music. It's something that our biological vessels are sometimes limited and tormented by, not being able to convey the true divine substance. That's why I lost her, and she'll never know how I feel. It is subjective pain. I love you all!!!
by fascistbourgeoisiepigdog on 3/24/2009 8:11pm This used to be the song I most identified with, ever - to the point where I was convinced morrisey had plagiarised my thoughts. Now I have a beautiful wife, four beautiful children and a life which back then seemed an impossible dream; things change...
by me only me only me on 3/29/2009 9:24am oh god... i wanna kill myself :(
by no one kill themselves... on 4/5/2009 12:37pm a love is a personal journey.. learn your lesson.. you can not be forgotten. impossible. if you are really able to enter this song.. take a deep breath, listen to it and dance and be proud with your signature you have given to your and his/ her life.. you are beautiful...
by o'niallain on 4/7/2009 3:42pm Beautiful and personal, like I wrote it (if I could).
by Pink on 5/14/2009 2:50pm Depressing... Beautiful.
by Markus Grey on 6/17/2009 12:30pm "After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." - Aldous Huxley
by lodger on 7/1/2009 11:02am this song is so simply written....
by Rosiel on 7/15/2009 2:56pm If you can't relate this song to a moment of your life, you never lived...
by Awesome song... on 7/19/2009 3:17am This song speaks nothing but the truth... For anyone who is in the middle of a relationship! The words are magnificant and overwhelming morrissey is so keen in how he expresses himself in his songs!!!!
by MIKAELLA T. ALBERTO on 7/24/2009 3:21am PWEDE PO BA na hanapin nyo po ang lyrics ITS OVER. PAKIUSAP Lang poh
by cecy on 7/31/2009 4:48pm so sad song
by a compulsive daydreamer on 7/31/2009 6:14pm I can relate SO much to all of it, but specially to the part when it says "I know it's over and it never really began, but in my heart it was SO real" It's unrequited love... big dreams that never came or will come true. :( weeps.
by Sebastian on 8/24/2009 6:13pm I'm in love with this song.
by Nobody on 9/4/2009 1:55am I'm sorry you love your boyfriend more than me
by life is over on 9/7/2009 11:20pm It IS about unrequited love. I was 13 when this song came out and I'm now 36, and I still feel like I live inside the song. I will be alone forever. At least Morrissey understands.
by Irish Blood on 9/9/2009 8:21pm This is the song that saved my life all those years ago, when I thought I was the only one whose world had fallen apart....one of my favourite Smiths songs...I still worship at the alter of Morrissey
by Caitlín on 9/11/2009 11:18am This song hurts every time I hear it, but it is a lovely pain, a beautiful pain...though I have only ever been unrequited, and 21 years isn't that long, it seems like I've lived for a millennium on my own. I would love to meet Morrissey, my muse, his passions and pains are just like mine...
by Ella on 9/23/2009 6:54pm Seriously, i love this song, because it's so true and it speaks for real things, it;s not just one of those common songs about breakups and parties. So true.
by Damion on 9/24/2009 6:03pm My wife left me and I find myself listening to this more and more.
by Gauche. on 9/28/2009 2:08am MORRISEY IS GENIUS
by misty.. on 10/7/2009 8:30pm ah. the people we love sometimes cause us the most pain. in which we can listen to the beautiful moledy of a man named morrissey's voice and feel like someone else actually understands this pain...
