Joshua Radin - Girlfriend In A Coma

“Girlfriend in a Coma” was originally sung by The Smiths. It was released as a single in August 1987, reaching #13 in the UK Singles Chart. The single itself is a tongue-in-cheek, music hall inflected song that clocks in at a mere two minutes and two seconds. Though seemingly “lightweight” and catchy, the song features acidic, ambiguous lyrics. (Source: Wikipedia)

“First Between 3rd & 4th” is a glimpse of what is to come from Joshua Radin. A singer/songwriter whose writing is both musically and lyricly personal and engaging — his album is a captivating mix of alternative rock and folk.

Lyrics of Girlfriend In A Coma by Joshua Radin

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?
Doohoo ohoo oo hoo

Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know, it’s serious,
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby godbye.
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,
Doohoo ohoo oo hoo

Girlfriend in a coma, I know, I know, it’s serious.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby godbye.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, baby godbye
