Blue Rodeo - Try lyrics
rate meLead Vocal by Jim<br />
<br />
Don't tell me I'm wrong,<br />
'Cause I've been watching every move that you make.<br />
Hearts you steal, in your make up and heels<br />
Trouble for the man that you date.<br />
<br />
Every time you walk in the room<br />
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile<br />
You were never the same way twice,<br />
I'm falling in love<br />
Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...ooh<br />
So many people who said, ooh<br />
Girl you've got nothing but time<br />
Oh you are a shining star<br />
Don't you worry 'bout what you're leaving behind.<br />
<br />
Every time you walk in the room<br />
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile<br />
You were never the same way twice,<br />
I'm falling in love<br />
Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...<br />
<br />
Oh you got to try, try, try.<br />
Ah don't you know you've got to try,<br />
Try, try. Oooh<br />
Oh baby you try, oh.<br />
<br />
SOLO<br />
<br />
Every time you walk in the room<br />
I couldn't ever be sure of a smile<br />
You were never the same way twice,<br />
I'm falling in love<br />
Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...<br />
<br />
Oh you got to try, try, try.<br />
Ah don't you know you've got to try,<br />
Try, try. Oooh oh baby you try, oh woah woah try, oh woah woah<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't know if you've ever seen the movie<br />
Sunset Boulevard but at the beginning of<br />
This movie William Holden is floating-dead-in<br />
A pool and behind him all these flashes are<br />
Going off of the police and news photogra-<br />
Phers and then the voice of this guy who's<br />
Floating in this pool comes over and starts<br />
Telling us about this crazy arrangement he's<br />
Been having with Gloria Swanson, some<br />
Chaffeur named Von Stroheim and a Chim-<br />
Panzee in a white satin coffin but what he's<br />
Really talking about is how we're continually<br />
Being confronted with the possibility of our<br />
Own corruption and how if you're not care-<br />
Ful you can be swallowed up whole by your<br />
Own ambitions. Now in his own life, William<br />
Was a bit of a drinker and one night sittin at<br />
Home after having a couple too many, he<br />
Falls down and hits his head on a coffee<br />
Table...no big deal...so goes to the bath-<br />
Room, gets a towel, puts it to his head and<br />
Stumbles off to bed but he never woke up...he<br />
Was so loaded that he ends up bleeding to<br />
Death, lying there in a pool of his own blood...<br />
HMPH...this song is about that sort<br />
Of feeling...that burnout kinda feeling of<br />
When a bad thing has been going on for too<br />
Long and an act of sympathy makes as much<br />
Sense as putting a towel to your head.
