I've Tried Everything - The Cribs

I was born in 'The Merrie City'

I’ve been trying to get out of it

Nothing’s changed since the 1950's

I’m surprised all the time what I find out

There must be something more

Can’t figure it out

Still missing something

And I’ve tried everything

Love is a lie

Attraction an instinct

Believe what you like, you decide

But I still think that

There must be something more

Can’t figure it out

Still missing something

And I’ve tried everything

Three months ago

I ran to Brighton

It didn’t solve anything… no

I thought it would not be a problem

But I found out the night we rode the Circle Line

It had to happen sometime

I thought it would not be a problem

But I found out the night we rode the Circle Line

It had to happen sometime

And though you knew nowt about it

You could pick up on signs

Like being too polite

And unassertive 'cos I’m

Still missing something

And I’ve tried everything
