I Know It's Over Lyrics - The Queen Is Dead - 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...
