But you still hold the reedy grace As you tidy the place But it will never be clean Jeane We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried Cash on the nail It's just a fairy tale 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 No heavenly choirs Not for me and not for you Because I think that you know I really think you know I think you know the truth Jeane That we tried and we failed That we tried and we failed We tried and we failed We tried and we failed Oh Jeane </poem> {{CommonSongSections | Artist = The Smiths | Song = {{#replace:{{#replace:{{PAGENAME}}| (single)|}}| (song)|}}}}
