Faith No More - I Started A Joke Lyrics






I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh but I didn't see
That the joke was on me...oh no..
And I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
For things that I've said
Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
For things that I've 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.........me.........

  30. 2.... S....

    This is a good version.

  31. S.... D....

    Absolutely love this 👏👏👏👏

  32. R.... M....

    Brilliant video, using actors, for a great and very moving performance of a great, great song. And no, the song doesn't confuse me. It's not all that complex. It's about a person who doesn't belong anywhere, or is unwelcome anywhere. The Sad Clown. The kid in school who was "weird" and then killed himself. And nobody gave a damn: just went on ahead with their lives.

    Hasn't anyone felt like an outcast when they were young (or if you are currently young)?

    There's no reversal in this song. The protagonist remains separate from society and he's miserable. And when he's gone, they're relieved. It's terrible. And it's the truth for a lot of people.

    In the video, the girl seems so caring. But then is pleased when she gets the ring. All of them "start living." And the man is alone, on stage, in the darkness.

    Several early Bee Gees songs address similar issues regarding the failure to communicate. You can even hear a bit of "Words" in one verse. There's a connection there in theme.

  33. O.... A....

    Gran cover de la canción de the Bee gees

  34. J.... H....

    You know, a song written about 50 years ago and being covered again has got to be a great song written by a great band. THE BEE GEES. Any band or singer covering that said song, knows a good song when he hears it and is awesome enough to pay tribute! Thank you!

  93. F.... E....

    This is Mike Patton sings????? Or not?

  94. B.... G....

    Esto es una obra de arte

  95. l.... h....

    The vocal style perfectly matches the actor.
    I know it's a bee gees cover, but does anyone sense he's evoking a bit of David Bowie?

  96. R.... d....

    Magnífico

  97. X.... V....

    Mike Patton todo un genio
