Jeane by The Smiths
Jeane
The low-life has lost its appeal
And I’m tired of walking these streets
To a room with a cupboard bare
Jeane
I’m not sure what happiness means
But I look in your eyes
And I know
That it isn’t there
We tried, we failed…
We tried…
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 ?
But you still hold a greedy grace
As you tidy the place
But it’ll never be clean
Jeane
We tried, we failed…
We tried…
Cash on the nail
It’s just a fairytale
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
Oh …
No heavenly choir
Not for me and not for you
Because I think that you know
I really think you know
I think you know the truth
Oh …
Jeane
That we tried, and we failed…
We tried and we failed…
Oh …
