The Modern Lovers
By Joseph Waldman
circa 1997
in the halls of S'fld-Lathrup Sr. HiSkul


The Modern Lovers were so great
And if you go to school
And find yourself without a date
You'll know which way is cool

They did their sessions with John Cale,
If that is what you seek:
To find a band the critics hail,
Led by the high school geek.

Yes Jonathan Richman was the best,
He truly was a prophet:
Twelve great songs, without a break --
Don't tell me to get off it.

For you can play your Sonic Youth,
But some of us, we know the truth.
