==Track list==
Stop me, oh, stop me
===7" Vinyl===
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before
US - [Sire – 9 28136-7]
Stop me, oh, stop me
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before


Nothing's changed
{{tracklist
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
===7" Vinyl===
An emergency stop
Germany - [Line Records – LS 1.00025]
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

}}


I was detained, I was restrained
===12" Vinyl / CD===
And broke my spleen and broke my knee
Germany - [Line Records – LMS 3.00013 / LICD 9.00440]
And then he really laced 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

And so I drank one
===12" Vinyl===
It became four
Netherlands - [Megadisc – MD 125280]
And when I fell on the floor
I drank more


Stop me, oh, stop me

<poem>
Stop me, stop me
stop me if you think that you've
heard this one before
stop me, 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 less than I used to
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?
who said I'd lied because I never
Who said I'd lied because I never
I was detained, I was restrained
he broke my spleen
he broke my knees
(and then he really laid into me)
Friday night in Out-patients
who said I'd lied to her?
who said I'd lied - because I never
who said I'd lied - because I never
Oh, so I drank one
or was it four
and when I fell on the floor...
...I drank more
stop me, stop me
stop me if you think that you've
heard this one before
nothing's changed
I still love you
I still love you
but only slightly
less than I used to
