MORE FROM GREAT MIMI PARKERHere is another song from the brilliant band Low, sung by the great Mimi Parker, may God rest her soul. A beautiful cover of the Bee Gees classic, ‘I Started a Joke.’ We adored Mimi here at The Vampire’s Wife. Love Susie x

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, oh yeah

That the joke was on me, oh no

That the joke was on me
