The Bee Gees Message Board

Hi There my name is Dan PUIGSERVER I live in South of FRANCE and just joined. i am going to be 50 next week (11th of june 1958) I grew up with the Bee Gees music and one in particular : I STARTED A JOKE. It's just seem to be my song to be part of me and discribe me all along.
I cry a lot with this song but i love it(not crying of course)

But i need your help as i always wanted to know as i have seen on different lyrics if Barry
Maurice and Robin wanted to say "And I fell out of bed Cursing or hurting my head"

Lots of love to you all
Dan

Hi Dan,



Your English is very good.
I have always heard 'hurting'.
Here are the lyrics, as I hear them:

"I Started A Joke"
BR&M Gibb

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.

Oh oh no
That the joke was on me
Oh oh oh no

Hope this helps.

Hey Angela too. About 35 years ago I lived in Mich, (Grand Rapids)I've been to the UP at,and I'm not going spell this right but we went to Taqumin falls and to the light house. I guess thats about where the Edman fitsgerald went down. It's pretty country up there. The lyics you got it right. Oh, I live in Savannah GA. on an island right by the sea. kEEP ROCKING!!!!

Hi Michael

Nice ta meet yah! And, welcome aboard.
How cool that you once lived in Michigan for awhile.

You were pretty close on the spelling. The name of the falls is Tahquamenon. Isn't it a wonderful waterfall? The water is a rich rootbeer color, from all the tanic acid in the river.

Must be nice to live on an island by the sea.
May we both keep ROCKIN! to
