    Lyrics
    Girlfriend in a coma, I know
    I know, it's serious
    Girlfriend in a coma, I know
    I know, it's really serious
    There were times when I could
    Have murdered her
    But you know, I would hate
    Anything to happen to her
    No, I don't want to see her
    Do you really think
    She'll pull through
    Do you really think
    She'll pull through
    Do
    Girlfriend in a coma, I know
    I know, it's serious
    My, my, my, my, my, my baby, goodbye
    There were times when I could
    Have strangled her
    But you know, I would hate
    Anything to happen to her
    Would you please
    Let me see her
    Do you really think
    She'll pull through
    Do you really think
    She'll pull through
    Do
    Let me whisper my last goodbyes
    I know, it's serious

    The writing in this is genius. It's impossible to know if he's being sincere or is secretly glad this girl is in a coma.

      @victor-536 2 года назад +231

      I always interpreted it as a failed homicide attempt... in the end he wants to "whisper his last goodbyes" (kill her for good) because the doctors feel like she could pull through and get him in trouble.

      I agree it is a double entendre song like a lot of old calypso or George Formby era songs. Old Smiths and Morrissey songs have a lot of humour.

    This song kills me everytime I listen to it.
    I had a best friend, her name was Claudia. We grew up together and did a lot of things together.
    Part of her childhood, she lived sick and almost die, but she got out of all that illness shit and we lived our teenage wildly and had a lot of fun. This year however she passed away and it cuts me real deep now that I'm writing this. "The Smith" in particular, were one of our favorite bands, we used to lay down on her bed and listen to the smiths and other bands on a rainy day, those moments together, were priceless for me! I used to see her sleeping and thought "I love her and we'll be together for so long".
    This song in particular reminds me, when she was on her 19th birthday and in coma, I was not allowed to go see her, cause' she was really going away, eleven days later, she left this world and I never told her happy birthday or even saw her! With tears in my eyes! I want to share this comment with all of you ! And say that I miss her and will forever love her and never forget her.

    I was in 8th grade when I first heard this song. I was over at my new friends house, Allison Barrow, she had just moved into a house down the street from mine, and her older sister,Rachel, put this on and that was it. I was instantly hooked. It was true love. I fell for Morrissey HARD. Never stopped listening. I thought Rachel was the coolest. She introduced me to so much music. GOOD music. At that point I completely stopped listening to the radio (pop) and from there on out it was "alternative" (that's what they called it back then) music and punk.

    I think the meaning behind this song was that she’s in a coma because of him and he wants her dead. Let me pitch it to you.
    He says “I know, I know, it’s serious” as if somebody is telling him to take it more seriously and he’s downplaying it (his smug face in the clip doesn’t show concern either). He then admits he wanted to murder her in the past, even strangle her, but he now wishes her well. However, as we established, he’s not acting concerned at the moment and he declines the offer to see her.
    He then dreamily sings “bye bye baby goodbye”, completely at ease with her not making it. Then he hears from someone she can pull through, he asks them multiple times if they were sure, and then suddenly decides to go see her (“to whisper his last goodbyes” despite the fact he was just told she’d pull through). I think he’s going in to finish her off. His narcissistic facial expressions in the video only confirm that he has no care or love for her.
