I’m not really sure whether this song is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek or dreadfully serious–The band has many songs with heavy handed lyrics such as these (i.e. Meat Is Murder), so it’s really difficult to tell.
However, one thing is undeniable: this is a great song. The simple music hall beat, the thoughts of the boyfriend and the cool melody combine to make this one of the great two minute songs.
And of course, the 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
