Yesterday’s offering involved a lot of reading. I’ll go a bit easier on you today.
mp3: Wire – Fragile
Track 6 on Side B of Pink Flag, the debut album from Wire, released in November 1977.
Took me a few years to discover the brilliance of Wire, and they are another act that became a byproduct of my university years of 1981-85. As has often been said by many, Pink Flag has proved to be one of the best, most original and most influential albums of the era despite selling abysmally on release, failing to crack even the Top 100.
Quite a few of its songs have been covered, including Fragile.
From the 2009 album, Varshons.

A touch of the John Peel’s with The Lemonheads version of this song?!

Cancel the above comment! I just discovered that the “driver” that controls sound on my Mac needed rebooting! All good now.
As you were!!

Didn’t Sting do a version too?
(I’ll get my coat.)
Any Wire is good Wire, but this is a brilliant one!
Wiki says that the Lemonheads also covered a GG Allin song on Varshons, and I have no idea what to make of that. But it’s a great Wire song.
