Blue Rodeo Try Lyrics

Try Lyrics

Lead Vocal by Jim



Don't tell me I'm wrong,

'Cause I've been watching every move that you make.

Hearts you steal, when you're made-up and heels

Trouble for the man that you take.



Every time you walk in the room

I couldn't ever be sure of a smile

You were never the same way twice,

I'm falling in love

Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...ooh

So many people who said, ooh

Girl you've got nothing but time

Oh you are a shining star

Don't you worry 'bout what you're leaving behind.



Every time you walk in the room

I couldn't ever be sure of a smile

You were never the same way twice,

I'm falling in love

Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...



Oh you got to try, try, try.

Ah don't you know you've got to try,

Try, try. Oooh

Oh baby you try, oh.



SOLO



Every time you walk in the room

I couldn't ever be sure of a smile

You were never the same way twice,

I'm falling in love

Oh, night after night - oh it's crazy...



Oh you got to try, try, try.

Ah don't you know you've got to try,

Try, try. Oooh oh baby you try, oh woah woah try, oh woah woah





I don't know if you've ever seen the movie

Sunset Boulevard but at the beginning of

this movie William Holden is floating-dead-in

a pool and behind him all these flashes are

going off of the police and news photogra-

phers and then the voice of this guy who's

floating in this pool comes over and starts

telling us about this crazy arrangement he's

been having with Gloria Swanson, some

chaffeur named Von Stroheim and a Chim-

panzee in a white satin coffin but what he's

really talking about is how we're continually

being confronted with the possibility of our

own corruption and how if you're not care-

ful you can be swallowed up whole by your

own ambitions. Now in his own life, William

was a bit of a drinker and one night sittin at

home after having a couple too many, he

falls down and hits his head on a coffee

table...no big deal...so goes to the bath-

room, gets a towel, puts it to his head and

stumbles off to bed but he never woke up...he

was so loaded that he ends up bleeding to

death, lying there in a pool of his own blood...

HMPH...this song is about that sort

of feeling...that burnout kinda feeling of

when a bad thing has been going on for too

long and an act of sympathy makes as much

sense as putting a towel to your head.
