lyrics:

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh, Momma running out of luck
Like my sister, don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence
To me, my life, it don't make sense
Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"

I should've worked much harder
I should've just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays
Something that you learned yesterday

"Drive you to work; you'll be on time
These little problems they're not yours and mine,"
"Come on and listen to what I say
I've got some secrets that'll make you stay"

I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
Oh, you ain't never had nothin' I wanted, but...
I want it all
I just can't figure out...
Nothing

And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said, "Oh, you're a freak"
"They ordered me to make mistakes"
Together again, like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
For the record it's between you and I

Oh, I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh, Momma running out of luck
Like my sister, don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it just don't make any sense
Those strange manners, I loved 'em so
"Why won't you wear your new trench coat?"

I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
Oh, you ain't never had nothing I wanted, but...
I want it all
I just can't figure out...
Nothin'

And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
Then she said, "Oh, I can wait"
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
And for the record, it's between you and I

Oh my god the bassist is literally the love of my life

[luiggidan]

The bassist is the definition of instant crush.

[mseymour]

The bass player on this is absolutely amazing. Her composition covers the bass, the drum fills, and the lead guitar, and she looks like she does it effortlessly. Astounding skills!

[globetripper]

Wonderful rhythm and chemistry between friends. A reminder of how fun music can be. Great job.

[gofyourselfgoogle]

The bass playing the lead guitar licks is super clever, this is great you have a great voice

[Mappy]

This is the best cover of this song I have ever heard. Vocals capture all the essence. Best cover of a strokes song I have even heard….no notes on this one wow

[coachkleats]

Every time the base player does that head tilt an angel gets its wings…

[pumpkinpie]

You have the most perfect voice for covering the strokes

[Doug_Diego_Cazadores_Cassidy]

I love the singer's voice. She doesnt try to style it out all weird, like so many do, these days.

[robfosher]

This simple bass and electric guitar cover of this song sounds so good and straight from a time long past

[JamestheKilljoy]

The bass player did a great job of carrying the rhythm, keeping the timing solid. That was a fun cover, too :)

[jimhenegan]

I have always really enjoyed the part of this song that begins around 1:14 (and then again around 2:41). It's cool to see how a two-person group can pull it off with just one bass, one guitar, and one voice.

I just binged all your The Strokes videos. Thanks for reminding me how much I like them. Haven't thought about them in probably 15 years.

[paulwhite]

Singer gives a little wink after singing "I wanna steal your innocence"... brilliant!

[GommaAmericana]

best cover of pacifica - barely legal by the strokes

[Flowerboy.flores]

I love these two so much. They do solid solid covers in good spirit of the song.

[jonathanmiller]

Bass chicks. This world needs more of ‘em. Sounds great, girls.

[garethdesborough]

The bassist has almost perfected Ron Mael's facial nonchalance whilst performing. Lovely!

[aydn]

I never usually like covers of the strokes because it sounds weird without Julian's voice, but your voice sounds great over this.

[markreimer]

I really enjoyed your version of this song, great vocals, and the facial expressions on the bass player spot on! well done!~
