I started a joke  (新聞花絮/曲詞安哥)

日本地鐵列車上
邊吃三文治
邊哭的青年人
令我想起了滾石
As tears go  by
也記想起了Bee Gees
I started a joke
強說愁的荒誕曲詞

I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen
that the joke was on me

想起了 Mike Jagger
唱As tears go  by的青年
如何樂与怒起來
跳唱Jumping Jack Flash
大叫Satisfaction

新聞花絮片段不停播
主持人評說
青年人邊哭還邊吃
沒事
他沒事
眾哄笑
荒誕的實況處境
配對上
從前的流行曲
配對上
荒誕*的詞
想笑
想哭
悉從尊便


*維基百科：Barry：那時的想法是很迷幻的，如果你寫的東西聽起來有些荒誕，有人會幫你演繹出一些意思(義)的…

There was a lot of that in those days" Barry laughed, "There was a lot of psychedelia and the idea that if you wrote something, even if it sounded ridiculous(荒謬/荒誕), somebody would find the meaning for it, and that was the truth". Robin Gibb told The Mail on Sunday on 1 November 2009 about "I Started a Joke": "This is a very spiritual song. The listeners have to interpret it themselves, trying to explain it would detract from the song"
