From the recording Great South Road
Not Quite Enough (Peter O’Doherty) - The world is overwhelming at times, an unceasing barrage of communication, information and bad news. It’s all so present and yet so far away. Sometimes all you want is a bit of down time to muse like a kid on a beam of dust in your bedroom.
Lyrics
Not Quite Enough
(Peter O’Doherty)
We are somehow connected
Connected by our differences
We have in common all this distance between us Don’t want it do you want it too
Too much or is that too little
Too little is not quite enough
It’s later, later than you think
It’s only one more drink
Act normal are you paying attention
Be yourself or somebody else
We have in common all this distance between us Too much is not quite enough
Lying out on the floor
Distracted by the light
Sailing on a beam of dust without a destination Sit down you make me feel nervous
I’m on my feet I just can’t sit still
I lost my rhythm to the windscreen wipers They wouldn’t stop though it wouldn’t rain
For too long now this distance between us
Too little is more than enough
All of your faces look good
The sad ones do just what they should
Now where was I, I’ve lost my place again Lying out on the floor
Distracted by the light
Sailing on a beam of dust without a destination Sailing on a beam of dust
We are somehow connected
Connected by our differences
