The Modern Lovers

Lyrics

Well she was sensitive
She understood me
She understood the European things of 1943
But she does all these things that I can't stand
I could care if she stays with another man

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

Well she cracked, I won't
She did these things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help

She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't, that's right
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

oh Well, she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd eat garbage, eat shit, get stoned
I stay alone, eat health food at home

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

and She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
One more time, one more time
and She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

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

Live At The Long Branch Saloon

Lyrics

[Thanks, we'd like to add a little Massachusetts cold bitterness to your life,
This is our bitter song of the first set,
It's a song about self discipline too,
And we're flattered if you dance and we're not insulted and we say,
Well She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't,
And She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right]

Well she was sensitive
And She understood me (a little lower)
She understood the European scene of 1943
Well she does all these things that I just can't stand
So I could care less if she stays with another man

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

Well she cracked, I won't
She did these things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help

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

Well she (way down) cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd eat shit, eat ???, and get stoned
I stay alone, eat health food at home

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

She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
One more time
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

For All The Modern Lovers

Lyrics

She was sensitive

She cracked she stoned she can't stay here

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

I say hello, and eat health food at home

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

She cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd self destroy
Necessary to self enjoy

Necessary to self help

And she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Well All right

And she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't

I say hello, eat health food at home

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

1971 Stonehenge Ipswich

Lyrics

Now this girl was sensitive
She understood me

She understood the European things of 1943
But now she does all the things that the modern lovers just can't stand
So we can't worry if she sleeps with another man

Well she cracked, and we're sad, but we won't
She cracked, still hurt, and you're right

Well she was sensitive
She understood me
She understood ???
??? 1953
But she does ??? stuff that I just can't stand
??? She sleeps with another man

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

Well she cracked, I won't
She did things that I just don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help

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

She eat ???
??? Get stoned
I stay alone
Eat health food at home

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

All right

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

One more time

She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

The Boarding House

Lyrics

[Good idea to have Leroy do number one for a while,
Well we asked ??? if he wanted to, all right, wait a minute wait a minute
??? Old kind of songs huh, how many people want to hear something like that?
??? You know the place we wrote this song he had no way of knowing now cause ???
Even told them what we're going to do now cause I just thought of it this minute,
Now the place we first did it ??? and that's the town right next to ??? where I'm from ???
I have no idea what you're saying, I give up,
I'll tell you what though, ??? I certainly do, very nice ok, from the highlands or ??? centre ??? we'd like to present something you may remember
And if you don't then it's a waste of time, it's called, I'm Bad She Cracked but I won't ???]

Well she was sensitive
She understood me
She understood the European ???
From 1943
??? That I can't stand
??? With another man

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

Well

She cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't

Lyrics

[???]

Well she was sensitive
She understood me
She understood the European things from 1943
But she does all these things that I can't stand
So I could care if she stays with another man

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

[Consider the situation]

Well she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help

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
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

One more time one more

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

Lyrics

She was sensitive
She understood me
She understood the European scene of 1943
But she who does these things, now I can't stand
I don't care if she sleeps with another man

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

She cracked, I won't
She did these things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help

And 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
She cracked, I'm hurt, [[recording ends abruptly]]

Well she was sensitive

But she does all these things that I can't stand
I could care less ??? if she stays with another man

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

Well she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help

She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't that's right
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
