stop me if you think you ve heard this one before

strangeways here we come albümünden güzel bir smiths parçası.


sözleri:

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 lays 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

(here -- and instead of oh)
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

"biliyorsan anlatmiim"

nezaret, hastane, bar üçgeninde evin yolunu bulamamış erkeğin sevgilisine durum izahı şarkısı. oğlanın hikayesi biraz abartılı olduğu için, daha önce gerçeği başkasından duyduysa diye endişeli, o yüzden ikide bir ’biliyosan anlatmiim’ diyor.

her şeyi önemsiz kılmak için de sevdiğini söylüyor, ama dikkatini yalan olması muhtemel cuma gecesi hikayesinden çekebilmek için de herzamankinden biraz az sevdiğini sıkıştırıyor. (ya da ben anlamadım, ha wily?)
