Girlfriend In A Coma was released in August 1987 and is taken from the album "Strangeways, Here We Come".
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

My own sister, huge Morrissey fan, passed away last fall. In her hospice room I had so many Smiths songs playing. You never know how it will be until t's yours
Sorry to hear that. My condolences to you. May she rest in peace.
🙏🏼🌺🕊️🕯️🌺🙏🏼
Im so sorry for your loss😓😓bless her soul
❤
I'm so sorry about your sis. It's only words I know but you'll see her again.
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.
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.
Yeah, he's worked up this heart aching scenario and then - WHAT? She's gonna get better....Noooo.
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.
Huh... Interesting... I always found this song hilarious because I think he does a shit job of hiding his intent 😂🥰
This song is a hitter. Discovered it thanks to the Bumblebee movie
The Smiths are my favorite band of all time. I love the combination of Morrissey’s sad lyrics with the upbeat sound of the band behind him. Just fucking amazing all around.
I dont think his lyrics were deliberately sad,they were just life observations which are often sad.Genius.
There indeed this sadness to his work though.@@neilgutteridge6405
A masterpiece. I wasn't a Smiths fan when this came out. Only heard it decades later and immediately loved it. Such an interesting and lovely song.
Mojo Nixon's version is better.
I didn't know Andy Rourke was ill but so saddened to hear he passed. He will be sorely missed.
I also didn't know he had cancer, and I was in shock
finding out about his passing.
Johnnie's guitar on this is the glue that holds the song together......beautiful
This is the first song of The Smiths that my coworker recommended to me, ever since I'm always grateful to her for introducing me to such Legends.
This is for you, if luck let you see this one.
To tell you the truth, talking with you about random topics and making fun of our unfortunate lives and work makes me appreciate you more. Thank you, Madam! 🤗❤️
Imagine if your life was like a black-and-white British film from the 60s and Morrissey's full-colour head and shoulders occasionally floated in with some melancholic song-narration.
You mean to say that your life *Isn't* like that..?
Like a beautiful nightmare! But then again No!!!
I would love that.
" ... but you know, I would hate anything to happen her..." So much true tenderness, love, care, in his voice when he sings this, brings a tear in my eye.
I love the sarcasm of this song. He'd just "hate" anything to happen to her. LOL! No one can sing a song about wanting someone to die sound so upbeat and pleasant like Morrissey can. A true original.
@Hipster Fortress Morrissey is a master of sarcasm in many of his songs.
He loved her, but she got on his nerves. That's pretty commonplace for most of us with the ones we love..
supposedly this song talks about AIDS
@@TheClaumigue That was the opinion of one journalist.
By the comments I read before I thought I was the only crazy humano laughing at the sarcasm. 😂🤣
Exactly what I'm going through right now. I'm dying inside. I never had a girl like this. She is unique. She healed my broken heart. One of my angels. God stop letting the things I love get taken away. She is all I need
What happened to her in the end??
Hey are u ok now ? What happened ?
I hope she pulled through.
When I think about The Smiths, this is the song I always go back to. It’s just perfect.
The Smiths are the only thing that actually keeps me going, I just resonate with the lyrics so much. I'm clinically depressed but I fear I'd be so much worse if it wasn't for Morrissey and Marr.
MackAttack 27 Be strong. You're never alone my friend. I know it's not easy to be happy, but one day you will be. I really think YOU'LL pull through.
MackAttack 27 Have you considered that it might be Morrissey making you miserable in the first place?
Try with Placebo dear and never give up
Jonathan Denny hahaha
+MackAttack 27 Chaos reigns over us all.
Just been browsing the comments. Hmm. It seems that many people - including fans of the group - persist with the cliched idea that The Smiths were a rather depressing bunch. Utter nonsense. Ignore the deceptive title... just listen to those lyrics. They're bloody hilarious! If Morrissey's tongue was any further in his cheek he would pierce the skin. Sure, they could get dark ("I Know It's Over", "Asleep" etc) but most of their output is oozing with humour. Pitch black humour, admittedly, but humour all the same.
So therefore, your examination of the majority of The Smiths fans concludes that they uphold the cliche that the band produces depressing material? Yet, at the end of your comment you announce that they produce dark humour? So they are a depressing band? Lol
Extremely_volatile having a dark sense of humour does not equate to being a depressing band...
Indeed. Last time I checked, have depression didn't exclude you for having a sense of humour.
SalfordianBlue I think what Extremely_volatile was trying to say was that you claimed that the majority of The Smiths fans say that their music is depressing (perhaps depressing in subject matter rather than meaning). If you say "pitch black humour" was their output, then technically it would still mean that they were joking about "dark" subjects, perhaps depressing in subject matter. I gave it a go.
SalfordianBlue This video is quite the piss-take, too.
If you're from England and of a certain age you will appreciate how The Smiths used cultural British icons in loads of their videos and record sleeves 100% Brits - love em for it

happiest song by the smiths
hahaha :D
FacultyBob Actually its a serious song you know
Not really
FacultyBob 😭😭😭
It's up there with Ask, for sure...
Heard this for the first time right when it was released and was hooked on The Smith’s immediately. I was about 19 and now I’m 51 and still hooked. How about you?
Nope. His voice still sounds like breaking glass scratched across a chalkboard sung by a deaf man trying to express disgust verbally. But - to each his own.
I must know every smiths song off by heart 👍👍
I’m 35 and ever since the movie, perks of being a wallflower, love them. I can’t stand today’s music of mumble rap and auto-tune “pop” songs.

@@NaeroK87 you're not looking deep enough into music. Ignore any charts or media coverage and look for some underground artists theirs some real gems especially in rock at the moment
What a talented and attractive man. Most honest performer alive. So much respect for him.
😃I am a Dutch native speaker, my English teachers sucked. Glad The Smiths, and especially Morissey, delivered such meaningful and well pronounced lyrics. In the eighties they meant the world to me and they are still relevant.
The british pronnunciation is very cool. I really like and enjoy when I listen british bands hehe
The Smiths. One of the best songs in their lineup of remarkable hits. New wave never dies.
Smiths are not new wave
@@fromouterspace21 indeed, they are post punk
New wave? 😂😂😂😂
morrissey's face is a work of art man.
+Peitzsucks 30 years ago.
+grimilde112 He still is. But yes, 30 years ago...
he really was a beautiful man. still is.
Michelle Torres Yeah, he looks like Daniel Warren from Art Attack
Um.. have you seen him lately? He has not aged well at all. I will give you the fact that in this video he is definitely a pretty boy..
The smiths are so underrated,what an amazing band.
Underrated ??? Lol
@@eduardomota2429 They’re also so underground, no one’s even really heard of them. Not even you.
Awesome song for then an now...I sure miss having good tunes like this...Ty youtube for existing
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.
Yossy Rada Damn...Im so sorry for you...
Yossy Rada Sorry for the loss of a good friend. such lovely memories of the Smiths.
Yossy Rada i lost the best friend I ever had immediately after my 13th birthday. I feel you homeslice. ❤ nobody will ever compare but thats okay cause everyones cool shit in their own way. I wish you many happy years to come ❤ and many more fond memories to make.
I am so sorry for your loss. You speak so lovingly of her...a beautiful tribute to someone taken too soon. She knew how much you loved her. It comes through in your loving words💙Loss is a subject I am far too familiar with😢I hope your wonderful memories will bring you peace one day. She sounds like a remarkable person. Sending you healing hugs🤗
hmm real convincing. how do you expect me to believe that
Only Morrissey could make the lyric “There were times when I could have murdered her...” sound so pretty. 😂
#Facts❤
...and that's the humor.
Death is pretty
Don't forget about the strangling part!! 🤣
@Hunter Vonnegut Obvious spammer is obvious.
The Smiths changed my life. Their music and especially the words were out of this world. 👍🏾💪🏾😁
Morrisey was at his most beautiful. He was gorgeous although I'm not into guys, you can't miss how youthful and vibrant he was at this period. Enigmatic! He was alive, on fire with young life. Succeeding. It's beautiful.
Most of Morrissey's songs come with phrases from movies back in the sixties and seventies. It's not depressing, it's inspired.
Why is this banned from hospital radio, people need a sense of humour in traumatic times
Hearing this song would quickly wake me from a coma.
@@edwardclark7705 hahahahhaha
Until it's u going Through it. It wouldn't seem so humourous then.
@@edwardclark7705 🤣🤣🤣
@@jesse-thalongway-jaie7055 how would u even know this song is playing if ur in a coma xD
I was in hospital recently and the hospital radio people came round the wards asking for requests. I asked for this and they claimed not to have it. Cowards.
Unique sound , voice , lyrics! Love the Smiths!
The smiths are addictive
they really are
the voice of Morrissey is amazing!
Pura melancolia. The Smiths foi uma banda genial.
Anybody wanna walk with me on a rainy day in a small European town, with this softly playing in the background? Such an amazing song!!
Hats off to Johnny Marr for this diddy , and wonderful guitar piece.... made me take notice of Mr.Marr and his finesse on the acoustic.
His face,his voice.Love him.
The Smiths are incredible. I’ve listened to them for years, but for some reason always skipped this one. After actually listening to it, I can’t stop repeating it.
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.
Nice :D
Greatest alternative rock band of the 1980s decade
His voice is amazing
This Man's Voice is still Heaven in 2020...
2023 until this world dies
And Dec 23
What a beautiful song. We all have had that special girlfriend/boyfriend in our lives that we wish were in a coma at times.
Try this song next time you're at karaoke. You'll get a lot of weird looks but the people that get it will lose their damn minds.
i dont get it
can u tell me why i really wanna get it or know what your talking abiut
Sid Vicious there isn't a cryptic joke, he's just saying that Smiths fans will recognise you and others will give you strange looks
Thanks for the idea!
Lol great idea going try
My mom used to sing the smiths to me a lot as a kid while teasing her hair, didn't understand why back then.. I do now. Thanks moz xoxo
Love playing this one on Valentine's Day! 😂
another smiths song that you wish was longer, but it will never be...
...just another testament to their genius
Why is it some of the best songs are also the shortest? BRILLIANT band, Morrissey's voice and Johnny's guitar........!!!!!!!!!!!
Giuseppe Ferrazza this a short version. Go and find the extended version it will give you three extra minutes
the smiths still sound amazing,brings back so many memory's.
The sheer amount of sass in the face and voice at 1:39
I'm very glad that i start to listen to The Smiths at a very young age
From a time when pop videos were bad but the songs were instant classics.
Gorgeously happy and traitorously resolute. How anyone can think The Smiths are about something as simple as sadness is beyond me.
Rob Bird amen. It's always refreshing to encounter someone who gets it.
Whatttttta song! THAT uplifting beginning and then THOSE lyrics, brilliant and so catchy - short, sweet & to the point...
The darkest lyrics mixed with such Beautiful music
What a sad beautiful song. Bravo Smiths.
That sculpted jawline is everything
What a tender treasure from my adolescence. I could never get tired of this masterpiece.
his honesty is refreshing.
“No I don’t want to see her.”
“Do you really think she’ll pull through?”
I was a huge fan of the Smiths before I watched black mirror, heard it in San Junipero, decided to come look for the music video
Ohhh the 80’s 🎶🎶🎶. Great memories 💕 great music, just simple and fun 🤩…. Such a unique song 🎶
I don't know why this song always makes me smile.
Take this song with a pinch of salt i love this song johnny marr is genius on guitar and morrisey is funny yet spot on with lyrics. Love it x
Guitar melodies on this are beautiful
exactly!!
thats johnny marr for ya
Just sent this to my ex-wife....despite the animosity and somewhat despicable things she did, I still adore her...I joke about dark things happening to her, but I know I'd be crushed. This guy is genius.
My ex wife ended up on unsolved mysteries...don't ask me why😂
The greatest love song ever written xx
Music Perfection only happens once in awhile great work The Smiths are legends
Morisey is a fantastic Singer in the world
yes, he is definitely in the world.
Possibly the best song of all time. It's serious...
This sung makes me feel sad but at the same time comfy, like a cute feeling of sadness.
If you discovered The Smiths from Bumblebee, know this song isnt even in the top 30 best Smiths songs. Listen to - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, I Know It’s Over (Rank version), Still Ill, Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want, How Soon Is Now?, This Charming Man, Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me, Well I Wonder, The Boy With The Thorn In His Side, Rubber Ring, The Headmaster Ritual, Asleep, etc.
Amen...and CEMETARY GATES!!
Will do
Panic, sheila take a bow, my favourite ones
The Boy With A Thorn In His Side all day.
Because of bumblebee i love this song.
Listen to it for the 15th times today, it's getting more serious now 😳
Hello future person, yes we are still listening to this song in *[insert date here]* . You have great taste in music too. Have a lovely day!
This one started the whole ride for me.
So short , yet lots to unpack...
all of their basslines are insane
The Smiths have to be the most underated group in the world. I love his singing voice.
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.
Beautiful tune. Intrigating lyrics. One of the favourites ever
The brows that defined my adolescence.
This song has always cracked me up. I took it to be a spoof on those old 1960’s teen trauma songs, like “Teen Angel” etc. Totally unexpected and refreshing from a band like The Smiths, and just one more reason to love them.
I understand this comment is three years old, but thank you for posting your interpretation. While I LOVE the Smiths, I have never understood what this song is about. But your take on it makes sense to me and I will be adopting it now :)
It’s unexpected on the surface but Marr and morrissey were both super inspired by 60s girl groups like that. You can hear it in a lot of their songs if you’re familiar w the genre
The bouncy intro (presumably Johnnie Marr?), is one of the most recognisable tracks ever then it is followed by almost sickly guitar playing afterwards... incredible talent the two had together.
It's very clearly a bass riff. Try Andy Rourke instead. Brilliant player and criminally underrated.
One of my all time favs. Brings to mind those songs from the old 'torch' singers, like "is that all there is..." While this is satirical those were just depressing.
우리나라 에선 검열로 수입 금지되서 90년대 초반에 해적판테잎으로 들어봣는데 듣자마자 반함..테잎이 닳도록 들었는데...
유튜브로 다시만나 너무 좋네욥
90년대에 스미스 팬이 존재하셨군요 ㅋㅋ
The dichotomy of this song is brilliant. The 2 minutes of this song engages Morrisey's full spectrum of love vs. hate, but many times love and hate are close.
My favorite The Smiths song ................... greetings of Peru 🇵🇪 ...
Does anyone still make 2 minute masterpieces ?
Blackmirror, a creepy masterpiece
one of the most beautiful episodes ever.
Girlfriend in a coma.. could be the name of the episode, couldn't it :D
Technically, she wasnt in a coma
h
Isiah Friedlander thats how I found this song as well haha
So uplifting, makes you ready to tackle the day ahead..
One of the finest Bands of all times...really!
It's always the last notes that get me, after the last words. Marr's guitar speaks a thousand words to me in just that few seconds.
Dark sarcasm in this song: I do love it.
I just can't stop listening The Smiths. My mom used to love it and I did give anything for them but NOW... They're genuine and I can't stop to listen them, it's annoying sometimes the way I can't get rid of it lol.
