The Beautiful South - I Started A Joke lyrics

(Gibb / Gibb / Gibb)

I started a joke

Which started the whole world crying

Oh had I only seen

That the joke was on me

And I started to cry

Which started the whole world laughing

Oh had I only known

That the joke was on me

I looked at the sky

And holding my hands over my eyes

I fell out of bed

Cursing my head for the things that I said

I finally died

Which started the whole world living

Oh had I only seen that the joke was on me

On me

On me

I finally died

Oh I finally died

I started a joke

Which started the whole world crying

Oh I finally died (repeat above)
