美 好 女 孩 自 掘 墳 墓 _▅_ 史 密 斯 THE SMITHS Pretty Girls Make Graves _▅_ (Troy Tate version) 2 0 feb.'8 4, 1 9 8 7


Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before 12", Smiths' non UK release. The record company had originally intended to release it in the UK but felt this would be inappropriate following the Hungerford massacre (the lyrics contain a reference to "mass murder"). So I Started Something I Couldn't Finish became the second of three UK singles from the band's last studio album Strangeways, Here We Come, rleased after they had announced their split.


In July 1987, Johnny Marr left The Smiths permanently because he thought an NME article entitled "Smiths to Split" was planted by Morrissey. It alleged that Morrissey disliked Marr working with other musicians, and that Marr and Morrissey's personal relationship had reached breaking point.

'Stop Me.. ' was originally supposed to be released as a single and a music video was filmed by Tim Broad, and opens with a picture of Oscar Wilde hanging on a brick wall, and features scenes of the group-iconic Salford Lads Club and surrounding areas being bicycled through.. w i k i

Its title refers to a section of Virginia Woolf's feminist essay A Room of One's Own in which Woolf argues that if William Shakespeare had had a sister of equal genius, as a woman she would not have had the opportunity to make use of it.
