I've Tried Everything

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, oh 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, oh 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 not about it You could pick up on signs Like being too polite And unassertive 'cause I'm Still missing something And I've tried everything, oh --- I've Tried Everything - The Cribs
