Lulu - 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'd said

'Til 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

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me

  1. P.... B....

    Lulu did a great job on this song. Robin is much better. Of course his voice is the greatest! ❤️🌹❤️

  2. M.... S....

    So auguring; such a prefiguration of the later hit by Maurice and brothers Gibb. Lulu is powerfully awesome!

  3. K.... H....

    Great stuff.

  4. M.... M....

    Great voice and was married to another great talent the Gibb brothers. Winning combination

  5. V.... E....

    MUSICA LINDA NÃO SE VE MAIS QUE PENA!

  6. M.... C....

    Her and Robin should of done this on a duet

  7. k.... s....

  8. C.... H....

    Bonita versión de esta grán canción de Barry, Robin y Maurice, para escuchar.

  9. M.... K....

    Barry Gibb è il migliore al mondo!

  10. M.... K....

    Ma gente non vi vergognate di dire che i bee gees non siano i numeri uno nel mondo? Siete ignoranti! Vergognatevi!

  11. C.... H....

    Una preciosa canción de Barry, Robin and Maurice donde Lulu le hace los honores con su gran voz.

  12. b.... ....

    She sings a lot. With a beautiful orchestra.
    Thanks from Brazil.👋👋👋👋

    b.... ....

  13. m.... v....

  14. J.... P....

    Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! LULU forever!

  15. F.... G....

    Are you kidding me? No sass, no gimmicks, just sheer vocal beauty. This is amazing. There've got to be a three Brothers Gibb smiling in their graves.

  16. K.... K....

    Sorry but Robin sang this so much better!!!!

  17. J.... P....

    Simplesmente Celestial! Lulu monstro de cantora da década de 1960. Demais!

  18. A.... S....

    jings how many people have copied it

  19. s.... K....

    to me one of her best, in fact the best

  20. R.... R....

    Linda interpretação !!! Lulu você é demais!

  21. m.... ....

    Fabulous version. Lulu is a terrific vocalist.

  22. b.... ....

    To each their own but I think this cover is bloody awful.

    b.... ....

    I agree....I hate to hear someone "ruin" a great song.......and Lulu just did!!!

    b.... ....

    Not the best

    b.... ....

    Lmfao “ bloody awful “ the accent just made it 10x more funny

  23. D.... M....

    A very nice cover vesion

  24. P.... C....

    Its hard for me to speak unless I'm speaking directly to whom i want but, ill try. Lulu, I love how she owns the songs she does ; makes them her own, she uses such clarity it makes me hear the song for the first time. (to sir with love) I heard it and understood it. I love her voice more than anything else but, i also love her sheep soft skin and her pussy cat manner .

  25. U.... U....

    aaaa its ok ....but this is robins song,and allwas will be.................

    U.... U....

    Damn thats a very good cover though!!!

  26. m.... ....

    She can do no wrong in my book. But then she's Scottish ll.

  27. M.... ....

    Lulu and Maurice are good together on 'First Of May' also.

  28. M.... ....

    Not bad, but I'll always like Robin's  version and with being a Bee Gees fan since they began - his voice is just heaven!  I've always been a fan of Lulu since she began too, Haven't heard this before. She does it in a crooning way and uses Americanisms such as 'Mah' and 'Ah' for ' My' and  'I'. I like her voice on single songs though, and she was a good actor in 'To Sir With Love' and I love that song.

    M.... ....

    didnt hear a mah for a my or an ah for i,in the beginning of the song ,,,,i heard the ah at the very end

    M.... ....

    I picked up on it before i read the comment

    M.... ....

    Very true. And you've been following the BGs since the beginning. A true supporter and fan. I'm a young fellow, but I can still follow them till my end because... well they're the Bee Gees. 💙🙏😊

  29. w.... v....

    NUNCA SERÁ  MAIS A MESMA COISA, HOJE NÓS FALTA MUSICOS E CANTORES., ESTA´MULHER MARCOU UMA EPOCA MARAVILHOSA , SAUDADES DO COLÉGIO ALCÃNTARA VELHO PROFESSOR NOBERTO ELE COM SEU LENÇO DE CACHICOU NO PESCOÇO E SEU INSEPARAVEL CIGARRO NA PONTA DA BOCA.

  30. E.... G....

    Impresionante versión! una voz magnética que estremece.

  31. a.... j....

    lulu IS IS SIMPLY GREAT

  32. m.... h....

    Lulu... did much better, when she sang on her own like this. Nowday's, she seems to have to many other " Artists " helping her. She needs to get back to square one...

  33. M.... O....

    My name is lulu too

  34. O.... Z....

    maravilhosa lulu, the wonderfull lulu, eternit an superstar!

  35. R.... L....

    Interesting tune by Lulu..
    Any live DVD,s of her.
    Check the net,should be something there.

  36. T.... ....

    It doesn't have the pathos of the original but still quite lovely nonetheless. Lulu married Maurice around this time. Good post!

  37. a.... ....

    Born Lennox Castle? Strange place to be born for a lassie fae Dennistoun Glasgow

    a.... ....

    angel6252 aye laddie, she’s a bonnie lass.

  38. t.... ....

    I was more so giving a comment per your YT name classicvinlybiz. and remembering the time. With my computer speakers right now, I wouldn't be able to tell CD vs Vinly . I did follow the links you provided & read your well written video intro to what I hopefully subscribed to the one you are referring to here. I will double check. Thank you for replying and best to you also David.

  39. d.... ....

    Thanks for writing... actually, this is from a CD... but at my other channel (the one from which I am writing) I have only vinyl LPs uploaded, including Lulu singing To Sir With Love from an old 45 I bought years ago. best, david

  40. t.... ....

    Thanks for the uploads! Vinyl is not as convienient, but it was always the best in my opinion. Maybe many would have had to live that generation to appreciated it, not that I am that old. How quickly Tech. has advanced. Anyway Beautifully done! Not meaning to offend anyone, sorry, if it may seem that way to anyone.

  41. v.... ....

    Hmmm.... No- not my taste. Sorry.

  42. i.... ....

    I hadn't heard this version and I like it maybe better than the Bee Gees, maybe because it has a more upbeat fuller sound besides the great sweet voice of LuLu.

  43. P.... N....

    I tingled all over when Lulu started singing this...wow!!

  44. R.... M....

    Very tasteful version. Lulu's voice works perfectly with the song.

  45. m.... ....

    well done

  46. d.... ....

    @brmrobin Glad you like it!

  47. d.... ....

    @Patonight Glad to know that you enjoy it. regards
