I don't remember this - does he say stop at the end?

Buzzcocks song is Sixteen from Another Music in a Different kitchen

"Overs" by Simon and Garfunkel.

But each time I try on the thought of leaving you,
I stop.

(long, long pause)

I stop and think it over.

Jake Bugg - "There Is a Beast and We All Feed It"

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
And they all feed it

Stop
Moment, try to freeze it
They find and they don't seek it
At the bar but they can't meet it
Try their best but they can't beat it
Nice car, somebody keys it

SOAD - Psycho

Scott walker, "cue (flugelman)"

b.o.b feat. bruno mars - nothin' on you

Gerry & The Holograms - "Gerry & The Holograms"

Cursive - "Sink to the Beat" (off the verrrry meta- Burst & Bloom EP)

Sentimental Fool, Roxy Music.

STOP.

Indiana - Solo Dancing

M.O. - For A Minute

Aqua - Be a Man

I was going to say Arthur Lee & Love, "Stop the Music" but that stops before he says, "Stop the music":

"I just might uhhhhhhh...
*music stops*
...stop the music
ooo-wee good gracious
mighty mighty n'all n'all...
... n'all...
... yeah"

uptown fuckin' funk

J Dilla, "Stop!"

TSOL, "She'll Be Saying"

The Cellos' "Rang Tang Ding Dong (I Am the Japanese Sandman)" is real close; the singer doesn't actually say "stop," but everything does stop so he can complain that everybody else gets to sing all the good stuff while he's stuck with the chorus.
