I’ve got ‘Enough’ from John Parry for all of you lovelies today and I really love the accent in his voice that adds an edge to his otherwise melodic vocals. Also, the lyrics in this speak to me (and I love the video, but I swear I’m not off doing illegal drugs). It’s such a cool video though and they did a great job of linking it to the music. A little trippy, but I think it does a great job of depicting the urge to escape that so many of us feel. There are actually NO POSTED LYRICS for this song on the internets so I’ve done my best to transcribe them. Honestly though, for a self-produced album this guy is fucking amazing. Indie musicians get extra love from this indie author!
Lyrics
I’m not strong enough, I’m not clever,
I’m just a London boy with my head up.
I’m on the stage most days trying to run away,
Yeah, I’m doing what I love,
am I asking too much?
I’ve had enough of doing what you want me to.
Enough, I’m doing what I want to do.
Enough of doing what you want me to.
Enough, I’m doing what I want to do,
I’m doing what I wanna…
Skies are grey most days where I come from,
I might say it’s first in getting drunk.
I’m negative, what if… what could… what should…
I come by and say goodbye for good.
I’ve had enough of doing what you want me to.
Enough, I’m doing what I want to do.
Enough of doing what you want me to.
Enough, I’m doing what I want to do,
I’m doing what I wanna… yeah… yeah…
Yeah…
I’ve had enough of doing what you want me to.
Enough, I’m doing what I want to do.
Enough of doing what you want me to.
Enough, I’m doing what I want to do,
I’m doing what I gotta do to get out.
‘Enough’ by John Parry
