about

"It Ain't Enough" by Cathy Lemons (of The Lucky Losers) was nominated in both 2017 and in 2018 for "Best Independent Blues/Soul Song" by Making a Scene's Independent Blues Awards. This is the only platform that houses the Extended Play version of this gritty, street-wise, original song which says so much about trying to be perfect in an imperfect world.

Kid Andersen, guitar, Marvin Greene: lead & rhythm guitars; Chris Burns: keyboards; Tim Wagar: bass; Robi Bean: drums

lyrics

Well, the corner doctor's talkin
And I been told
I'm doing everything wrong
Can’t save my soul

Well I can't sing right
Don’t know how to breathe
Never learned how to walk
And I can’t speak

It ain’t enough
It ain’t enough
Oh No matter, how high
Or low you go
In ain’t enough

I'm gonna change my name (change it)
Change this game (change it)
Move to a place (change it)
Where I can go insane
Hole out downtown
In a lowdown hotel
With the blue TV light on
Lots of stale cigarette air

Cause it ain’t enough
It ain’t enough, no no
No matter how high
Or low you go
In ain’t enough

Give me a prayer
I’m sinking fast
I’m outta time now
My best days are past
I'm limpin and stutterin, I’m hummin’ the line
That will sink me for sure
If I tell it in time

Cause It ain’t enough
It ain’t enough
Oh No matter how high
Or low you go
In ain’t enough


All that glitter is
A little fool’s gold
Dust from the street, passin cars
Just makin’ it look sweet
What's up is really down
What’s singing is a scream
What’s high is really low
What’s good is really mean
Cause it ain’t enough
It ain’t enough
No matter how high
Or low you go
In ain’t enough

You love me for my crimes
And all a my sins
My mind is just a shallow grave
That you can whisper in
But I got the secret
Now I got the key
Nobody knows ya, baby, better than me
And It ain’t enough
It ain’t enough
No matter how high
Or low you go
In ain’t enough

Well, I heard the bell
I was down for the count
My temperature rising
And sweat pouring out
Don't believe a word
A word that they say
You can't fill your heart up
With all that stuff they’re tryin’ to giveaway

It ain’t enough
It ain’t enough
No matter how high
Or low, low, low you go
In ain’t enough
