The Beautiful South - I Started a Joke lyrics

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)
