she cracked

[meh]

in the live version there seems to be a verse added on the modern lovers song 'there's lots of pretty girls...' part. does anyone know where it comes from?

[Mr.Sparkle]

There are at least a couple versions that the Modern Lovers did. I searched youtube looking for the one I liked best that has that line in it and couldn't find it. Not one of my favorite covers by the Bunnymen but definitely one of Modern Lovers best songs. The version that I had on CD, the one I can't find on youtube, is amazing.

o gthank you. i didn't realsie it was them. google later i found it! (i think)





The Original Modern Lovers

Lyrics

I know these very nice girls from where I come from
but they get tough to talk to
I can't understand the way they do
I can't understand they act
I can't understand anything

their life might have been hard
their lives might have been bad
they sure are hard to talk to
maybe it's their mom and dad's fault

she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
well they cracked, I'm hurt, and you're right

take this girl, she cracked, I won't
but She did things that I don't
She'd goes around this town
with her hand around these ????
I don't wanna hurt her
I only want to help her
I can't talk to her now
I've been feeling her for awhile

she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
she cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

oh,???

and she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
she so cracked, I get hurt, you're right

???

she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd hang around
with ????
I can't ??? I can't talk to her but I try

she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
she cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't (when they crack, I'm sad)
she cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

[Kounelaki]

Love this Modern Lovers song
