[Verse 1]
So sure, so sure you are
Nothing can touch you now
I need to know that you think of me
But you're forgetting me now
Slow down, don't be so eager to let me go
Realize it could change you
It could change your mind

[Chorus]
Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again?
Try again

[Verse 2]
Slow down, don't be so eager to let me go
I need to know
Do you think of me?
But you've forgotten me now

[Chorus]
Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again?
Try again
Try again
Try again

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again?
Try again
Try again
Try again

[Outro]
Try, try again
Try, try again

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
