The Cure - Boys Don't Cry (cover versions)

"Boys Don't Cry" był drugim singlem wydanym przez zespół The Cure, w sierpniu 1979. W Wielkiej Brytanii wydano tylko singel o tym tytule natomiast w Stanach Zjednoczonych singel ten promował album noszący identyczną nazwę. Album Boys Don't Cry jest amerykańskim odpowiednikiem debiutanckiego albumu zespołu Three Imaginary Boys.
Autorami utworu są Michael Dempsey, Robert Smith oraz Lol Tolhurst. Utwór w warstwie tekstowej opowiada historię mężczyzny, który poddaje się w próbach odzyskania miłości dziewczyny, którą wcześniej utracił. Tekst opisuje go, gdy stara się ukryć własny stan emocjonalny śmiejąc się ale kryjąc łzy we własnych oczach, bo "chłopaki nie płaczą".

W kwietniu 1986 singel został wznowiony wraz z dodatkowym podtytułem "New Voice · New Mix", a oryginalny utwór został ponownie zremiksowany a ścieżka wokalna nagrana ponownie. Nowa wersja utworu, radziła sobie bardzo dobrze na listach przebojów, jednakże nie pojawiła się na żadnym oficjalnym albumie zespołu. pl.wikipedia.org
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and
Laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that
It's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to
laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry

I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

To jest dobry zespół, grają fajną muzę choć w tamtych czasach było to nowoczesne to teraz to brzmienie jest trochę dziwne.

Disappointed that this doesn't include The Gerogerigegege's version, haha. Came looking for the Yacøpsæ one though, it's a shame the link isn't working anymore.
