"People, please, I sincerely believe you are all missing the point of the song. Look at the title. What joke is he referring to? He's referring to the jibes someone makes about those who are down. And when Morrissey was 'up', maybe he found the joke funny, but now that he has joined the ranks of the depressed and suicidal, he is disgusted with the remarks made by the subject of the song"

Dude, Morrisey has ALWAYS been depressed.

Anyway the last minute or so of this song is awesome...just repeating those few words over and over. Great stuff.

@werumm sounds like he had a heartbreak
