I Started A Joke Lyrics by Paul Weller


I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh, but I didn’t see
That the joke was on me

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 sky
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I’d 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’d said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I’d only seen
That the joke was on me
That the joke was on me, oh
