Ah, the timeless tale of "oops, I did it again" served with a side of quintessential Morrissey flair! In this melodious mea culpa, our protagonist laments his repeated misadventures and romantic faux pas, all while insisting it's not as bad as last time (spoiler: it probably is). The lyrical journey from emergency stops to inebriated floor collapses paints a picture of someone perpetually on the verge of getting it right but spectacularly missing the mark. The catchy chorus pleads for interruption if this sounds all too familiar, yet there’s an underlying plea—perhaps he doesn't want to be stopped at all. Love diminishes "only slightly," showcasing that old habits die hard, especially those of the heart.
Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before
Lyrics
Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
Stop me, oh, 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 way-laid
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
Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
Stop me, oh, 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
