“Girlfriend in a Coma” is a song by The Smiths. It was released as a single in August 1987, reaching #13 in the UK Singles Chart. The track was the first of three singles from the band’s last studio album Strangeways, Here We Come. As such, it was the last single to include newly recorded material on the B-side. It holds the distinction of containing the last recorded Smiths song, “I Keep Mine Hidden”. Also included—and recorded at the same session—is a cover version of a Cilla Black song, “Work Is a Four-Letter Word”. Morrissey’s insistence on recording this song incurred the wrath of Johnny Marr who left the band not long afterwards.
The video, which featured clips from the film The Leather Boys (starring Rita Tushingham), was directed by Tim Broad.
