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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 film is "The leather boys" from the 1950's in the UK. It was a film about a man who got married and then developed a relationship with another biker. It had to be so subtle because of the censors but the ending where he goes in a gay bar in London with all these queens is hilarious. It starred Rita Tushingham from "A taste of Honey".
