Jeane

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jeane The low-life has lost its appeal And I'm tired of walking these streets To a room with its cupboard bare Jeane I'm not sure what happiness means But I look in your eyes And I know that it isn't there [Chorus 1] Oh, we tried, we failed Oh, we tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried [Verse 2] Oh, Jeane There's ice on the sink where we bathe So how can you call this a home When you know it's a grave Yet you still have that greedy grace As you tidy the place But it will never be clean, Jeane [Chorus 1] Oh, we tried, we failed Oh, we tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed Oh, we tried [Verse 3] Cash on the nail It's just a fairy tale And I don't believe in magic anymore, Jeane But I think you know I really think you know I think you know the truth, Jeane [Verse 4: Sandie Shaw & Morrissey] (No-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) No heavenly choirs Not for me and not for you Because I think that you know I really think you know I think you know the truth, Jeane (Oh, oh) [Chorus] That we tried and we failed That we tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed Oh, we tried
