Smiths, The - Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before Lyrics






Stop me, oh, oh-o, stop me
Stop me if you think
That you've heard this one before

Stop me, oh, oh-o, 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

And so I drank one
It became four
And when I fell on the floor
I drank more

Stop me, oh, oh-o, stop me
Stop me if you think
That you've heard this one before

Stop me, oh, oh-o, 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

  1. O.... M....

    *Hipsters and Millennials riding on bicycles in the UK 30 years before Hipsters and Millenials. The only explanation is they are time travelers.....*

  2. O.... M....

    *Wearing a t-shirt for your own band in your own video. Innovative*

    Stop me if you think you heard this one before

    "Can the real Steven Morrissey please stand up?
    I repeat, can the real Steven Morrissey please stand up?
    We're gonna have a problem here"

  5. A.... P....

    Love this song alot

    2:55 morrisey trying to not let the wind mess up his hair, love it

  7. I.... M....

    Brit pop is for ever

  8. T.... 1....

    Ahead of its time!

  9. M.... S....

    this video makes me feel emotions that I was previously unaware existed

    M.... S....

    I'd bicycle with Morrissey to the ends of the Earth

  10. A.... R....

    Morrisey y sus morriseycitos

  11. J.... Z....

    Morrissey:I love you.

  12. S.... G....

  13. y.... c....

    R A Z A B L A N C A

  14. P.... D....

    Hell's Angels beware

  15. N.... s....

    Remember in The Matrix Reloaded when the agent "SMITH" multiplyies himself? Well, now i know where the inspiration came from. 😂

  16. L.... V....

    missing your glance

  17. B.... L....

    Watch out everybody, it's a gang of virgin bicyclists, they are unarmed and cannot make eye contact!

  18. L.... B....

    Asem. Moss ganteng banget pas waktu muda

  19. I.... ....

    I love the Smiths' and Morrissey's lyrics, darkly comic - "And broke my spleen and broke my knee, and then he really laced into me, Friday night in out patients...." :)

  20. D.... F....

    I agree I've lost interest in modern music and now I find this tune and memories just come flooding back.

  21. e.... d....

    From a native Texan I have always loved UK/British culture.

  22. F.... B....

    A beautiful reflection of being submersed in the human condition!

  23. J.... H....

    Salford has changed a bit but The Lads club still stands. Work around there now.

  24. M.... M....

    My surname is Morrissey and I love The Smiths 👍🏼

  25. d.... ....

    A wonderful song

  26. e.... s....

    I went to england from america just so i could get some NHS eyeglass frames. Partly Morrissey, partly Elvis Costello, all the way "other".

  27. R.... M....

    This is another great British band, like The Beatles.

  28. D.... d....

    I am 69 and I hate the smiths, all my friends listen to Sinatra, bowie and the stones but I prefer bieber and ariane. Modern music is great

  29. l.... s....

    red house painters vibe

  30. J.... ....

    A massive mix of emotions for me, impossibly sad to see Morrissey in this video with Johnny Marr gone and The Smiths already sunk. However I am glad they never reformed and I always have the memory of them at their best.

  31. G.... ....

    Seriously, has anyone ever heard anything like this ever? This music is genius!

  32. F.... C....

    Hipster bike gang

  33. L.... K....

    This was actually a promotional video for "I started something...."

  34. C.... O....

    Ok stop now Morrissey

  35. S.... B....

    So nice to see England when it was English.
    "England for the English"

  36. E.... ....

    Stop me, oh, stop me

  37. n.... k....

    Amazing video, showing the result of unemployment and failed social policy, manifesting in the decay of what were once thriving suburban areas, it's dank, damp, bleak and yet the styled haircuts, the youthful faces, the art, make for an astounding juxtaposition. Moz was amazing for his understanding of reality.

  38. B.... S....

    I mean, this is the ultimate hipser compilation, let's be honest

  39. M.... A....

    Manchester still looks like that.

  40. L.... ....

    My hound dog is named Morrissey

  41. r.... ....

    Marr's best guitar work IMO

  42. B.... F....

    as a kid this style of hair and dress was the Ultimate in coolness growing up in NYC. Fuck it. I still think its cool as fuck. I have the Doc Martins (always kept a pair of the shoes) but a sweet bomber jacket and glasses are in order now.

  43. i.... ....

    This video proves that Morrissey was the original hipster.

  44. A.... ....

    With this music, you can be young and 'underground' for as long as you want, whenever you want. I like this music because it always makes me feel like I'm going to meet a girl and be a couple with her

  45. p.... ....

    every day is a cloudy day.

  46. V.... V....

    The Smiths el Rock de a pie, su Música sigue y va seguir en el Tiempo.

  47. a.... ....

    This song reminds of sneaking into the living room on a Sunday night in high school to watch 120 minutes on MTV. The nostalgia is thick like a warm blanket 😊

  48. r.... k....

    Stop.Iv'e heard it.

  49. J.... M....

    Joy division

  50. A.... L....

    Fond memories of this song at it's release....never saw video until now. Impressed at 2:49 and the little girl in the laneway....that's really something!

  51. K.... M....

    Only if Morrissey wasn't the biggest fucking cunt in the world...

  52. M.... M....

    who the FUCK gave this a thumbs down

  53. j.... f....

    Pity he's become some right wing maniac.

  54. S.... R....

    Tapped into disaffected emotions.

  55. C.... S....

    these guys need to man up.

  56. A.... R....

    The epitome of The Smiths

  57. L.... Y....

    "and the pain was enough to make a shy bald Buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder." Yet another Morrissey genius turn of phrase

  58. N.... M....

    Love the smiths! This video always mesmerized me. So simple. So 80's. So British!!

  59. L.... P....

    Brasil, 30/10/2019.

  60. K.... L....

    the buildings in here are massive what a waste

  61. N.... I....

    The Location of the video reminds me of the film noir "odd man out"

  62. B.... W....

    Who knew that Morrissey would grow to become a far right sympathiser! Life is fucking bizarre.

    B.... W....

    breaks my heart. but to be honest he's always been right leaning. back in the day the music tabloids such as NME accused him of being racist

    B.... W....

    Ha! Says the tolerant left...so typical.

    B.... W....

    Lol..he's like "SMH" whenever someone refers to any quote, lyric, idea from his young self...so funny.

  63. a.... ....

    I love that this video has 33,000 likes and 787 dislikes.

  64. P.... S....

    Influenced jd/no lol...

  65. N.... ....

    Timeless. I don't care what you think of Morrisey.

  66. A.... H....

    Are you the reporter with the morrisey tattoo?

  67. G.... I....

    Hi My MOST BEAUTIFUL Holy Arch 👼 husband❤️ together forever eternity. LOVE Infinity 🕯️ I love u brighter than the Sun!!! Forever ur nighttime :) I love you 🙋 Grace God 💋💏. You overwhelm me with love!!!!!! All left to say is my heart has just exploded, I love you babe. Morrissey 🙋👈💕

  68. D.... D....

    Morrissey thinks Britain should be independent and celebrate its working class roots and be cautious of mass immigration. This now makes him today a Nazi.

    D.... D....

    @mike romano *you're

    D.... D....

    @mike romano *...source, where...

    D.... D....

    Every country should aspire to that, that has nothing to do with being a "nazi" a made up thing (not even a real word) by the Jewish owned press to quell unity among non-Jews (Gentiles). Being a united nation and having working class roots and not wanting mass immigration is what builds nations and has been preached for centuries prior to the NSDAP.

    D.... D....

    @mike romano spot on mike

    D.... D....

    complete over reaction. typical. i have always championed the working classes and that goes back to my grandmother and probably further down the line. and i resent anyone who links this with being a nazi. moz has always leaned to the right apart from his defence of the working classes. but again that hardly makes him a nazi. he's far too intelligent for that. anti immigrant? yes, he is. but that also does not make you a nazi. although a nazi would be anti immigrant.

  69. C.... S....

    Todays music is garbage, oldies was the best. This song is great. They dont make good music anymore.

  70. M.... 0....

    MTV ANYONE!!!!

  71. j.... t....

    bomber jackets, yeah! woo! My high school years

  72. d.... r....

    The Smiths is the best band.

  73. b.... M....

    nergh haahchue red horizon radio eternally god is great

  74. b.... l....

    they look like lesbians

  75. k.... x....

    😍😍😍😍👍

  76. l.... a....

    There are some proper speccy, snotty, big nosed buggers in this video....

  77. s.... T....

    I'm from this neighbourhood in salford. My dad lives next to the club. And my nan does to. I used to go club as a kid.

  78. s.... m....

    every smiths member is beautiful they were way ahead of their time

  79. K.... E....

    Superior & origional piece of music in my opinion . Being the state this generation, responces seem rediculous . (Holy shit immagration & obesity has obliterated the image of the British & American teenager ! No music seems to be making it's way out either ) . The melting pot didn't work out .

    K.... E....

    melting pots work great,, how do you think we won wwll ? the battle against white supremacy and hatred will be a never ending battle unfortunately,,,

  80. G.... P....

    Every other car being an escort, grenada or capri.... if only they knew they were driving in what would become £10,000.00 + motors!

  81. D.... S....

    I always thought it was odd a cool how The Smiths and the Cure had a huge Latino following especially in L.A.

  82. E.... A....

    Saudades da época que ouvia essa música no rádio!

  83. J.... C....

    This looks a lot different now.

    J.... C....

    As does Hulme.

  84. A.... A....

    This is just the "We are number one" of 1987

  85. s.... p....

    It would be great to chat with one of the lads who took part to this video!
    Is there somebody who took part to this video who is reading my message?
    What was it like! I am really interested of what you remember of this experience!

  86. N.... G....

    Stop....oh stop if..

  87. j.... d....

    bicycles,,,,,shit....

  88. j.... d....

  89. j.... d....

    Smiths!!!...and that flattop......xxoo

  90. L.... W....

  91. J.... E....

    Jodase y vayase mucho a la chingada el que le dio dislike,acabo de ver que no saben apreciar la buena música

  92. E.... F....

    In my memory this video was the one for 'There is a light that never goes out'.

  93. C.... ....

    Shoot, I just got an idea: this fantastic song can be featured on a Tribute To Rita Hayworth CD!!! Yes, Hollywood celebrity tribute CDs: the future of the music industry!!!

  94. Z.... J....
