The Smiths - stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before

화자는 사랑이 예전만큼은 아니지만 여전히 사랑한다고 말하며, 진실성을 의심받고 여러 신체적 고통을 겪는다
감정의 혼란 속에 음주로 위로를 찾으려 하나, 이는 상황을 더 악화시키는 결과로 이어진다
사랑의 복잡성과 고통을 주제로 한 이야기다

Stop me, oh-oho, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
Stop me, oh-oho, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
Nothing's changed
I still love you, oh, I still love you
Only slightly, only slightly less
Than I used to, my love
I was delayed, I was waylaid
An emergency stop
I smelt the last ten seconds of life
I crashed down on the crossbar
And the pain was enough to make
A shy, bald, Buddhist reflect
And plan a mass murder
Who said I'd lied to her?
Oh, who said I'd lied because I never? I never!
Who said I'd lied because I never?
I was detained, I was restrained
And broke my spleen
And broke my knee
And then he really laced into me
Friday night in Out-patients
Who said I'd lied to her?
Oh, who said I'd lied? Because I never, I never
Who said I'd lied? Because I never
And so I drank one
It became four
And when I fell on the floor I drank more
