Jeane (cover)

Me not entirely doing justice to "Jeane" by Morrissey and Johnny Marr.

Jeane
The low-life has lost its appeal
And I'm tired of walking these streets
To a room with a cupboard bare

Jeane
I'm not sure what happiness means
But when I look into your eyes
I can tell
That it isn't there


We tried, we failed

Jeane
There's ice on the sink where we bathe
So how can you call this a home
When you know it's a grave?


And you still have that greedy grace
As you tidy the place
But it'll never be clean
Jeane


We tried, we failed
We tried, and we failed

Cash on the nail
It's just a fairytale
And I don't believe in magic anymore
Jeane


But I think you know
Yes, I think you know
I think you know the truth
Jeane
We tried, and we failed
We tried and we failed

sounds crap with an american accent.

[memnoker]

I wish I could be you.

[publicartgroup2]

great cover mate, really well done.

[Purojannu]

one of the greatest songs ever written... simple music and amazing lyrics that (almost) every single human being can relate to.... there is ice on the sink where we bathe... so how can you call this a home? there are few things that i'm literally blown away by, and this song is one of them.... every time i hear it, i am both humbled and glad to be alive to hear it. and you have done it justice and i hope that maybe i can do too (once i get the courage to play it to someone/upload it to youtube).

[leverellis]

Lovely effort, really.

[TheRisingSigns]

Very nice indeed...

Beautiful cover! Devastating lyrics. I cried a little hearing it, like when I heard the original. Morrissey is a true gift.

[Laynefeain]

Superb. (I enjoyed this as much as the Billy Bragg bootleg [not the Reaching To The Converted version but..."Cash on the nail."])

Thank you.
