I've had Enough by Pete Townshend

You were under the impression
That when you were walking forward
You'd end up further onward
But things ain't quite that simple.

You got alterd information
You were told to not take chances
You missed out on new dances
Now you're losing all your dimples.

My jackets gonna be cut slim and checked,
Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck.
I ride my GS scooter with my hair cut neat,
Wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet.

Love Reign o'er me.
Love Reign o'er me.
Love.

I've had enough of living
I've had enough of dying
I've had enough of smiling
I've had enough of crying
I've taken all the high roads
I've squandered and I've saved
I've had enough of childhood
I've had enough of graves.....

Get a job and fight to keep it.
Strike out to reach a mountain.
Be so nice on the outside
But inside keep ambition.

Don't cry because you hunt them
Hurt them first they'll love you
There's a millionaire above you
And you're under his suspicion.

I've had enough of dancehalls
I've had enough of pills
I've had enough of streetfights
I've seen my share of kills
I'm finished with the fashion
And acting like I'm tough
I'm bored with hate and passion
I've had enough of trying to love.

Hi Cheryl, just dropped into to say thanks for your kind comment on my blog. You've only posted one of my all time favourite songs from my absolutely all time favourite album! Thank you!

I hope the lyrics aren't symptomatic of how you feel about life, though?

Hoping the coming year is full of great things for you and absolutely nothing you've had enough of ;-)

Hi Cheryl,
I haven't heard this song yet, but from reading the lyrics like a poem, I'm guessing it's about when Pete gave up being a mod.

Cheryl- the message you decided to delete on my last post that you deleted but what i still read because it emails me with it anyway was bloody funny and you had no right to go deleting it on the grounds that it wasnt.
