The title (and a few lines) of the song are a reference to the song “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore” by The Smiths, off their 1985 album Meat Is Murder.
Well tell me again
What you were thinking when
You got that bruise tattooed –
Forever black and blue
You won't say
Like you don't say
Anything anyone can hold you to
I hope I don't make the same
Foolish mistakes I know you've made
'Cause I can see me
In the things that you don't say
People that you don't see
Tell me again
Where you were when
The world changed and forgot about you
If it's sympathy you need
Then, well, I'm sorry
But you're not the only one
Who feels cheated
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
(More than you'll ever know)
I don't miss you
I'll miss you when you're dead
I'll miss you when you're dead
I'll miss you when you're dead
I'll miss you when you're dead
I'll miss you when you're dead
I'll miss you when you're dead
I'll miss you when you're dead
