Lyrics:

pred gIt's gone beyond a joke, it's gone beyond a laughing matterD gWe had a flag out in the wind, now it's reduced to just a tatterC c cI get the feeling it's 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, tattersIt's almost like i am being crushed from insideI want to touch your hand but it feels a skeleton's grasp oooohI want to be in command but i'm 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 chorusVerseIt'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 wayEverything's been reborn into a world that isn't quite dyingAll of the clothes we've 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
