In an interview with Morrissey he alluded to the fact that this song is about drug use and experimentation. The 'girlfriend' has overdosed and the boyfriend has yet to fully understand the seriousness of the situation (as this possibly happened before). He needs to be told that its serious because he keeps saying stupid things like ' there were times when i could have murder her'.. its really not the right time to say things like that!
When i hear the song i always picture Morrissey in his younger days pacing the corridoors of a hospital looking for ppl to talk to and trying to be mature about the situation in his arrogant manner.
