Girlfriend in a coma - The Smiths,1987, aug

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 ?
Pull through …

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 !
