I Started a Joke Lyrics

I started a joke which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see that the joke was on me oh no
I started to cry which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed hurting my head from things that I said
'Till I finally died which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no that the joke was on me

What is the Meaning of I Started a Joke?

Ah, the Bee Gees, always keeping us on our toes with their lyrical conundrums! "I Started a Joke" is a fascinating exploration of life's ironies and paradoxes. It tells the tale of a protagonist who inadvertently triggers a global cascade of emotions through his actions, only to realise that he is the butt of his own cosmic joke. The song delves into themes of self-deprecation and regret, painting a poignant picture of someone who has unintentionally caused chaos and then suffered the consequences. It's like dropping an ice cream cone on your brand new shoes - you can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness even as you rue your misfortune. So next time you think about playing a prank, remember this tune and spare yourself the punchline!
