Just to mark the event I shall release earlier than planned some lyrics that were inspired by WR's singer Katherine Marsh earlier in the year. As you can see from the Blog they have evolved into something quite different to how they started. I haven't looked a them for quite awhile and looking at them now think perhaps they need a bit of polishing (they certainly don't scan very well, but hey that's never bothered me before! (:-)). Anyhow there's not much point to do anymore work on them until I've got the music which I'm just about to embark on. As regards the meaning, they pretty much say what I wanted (and more besides).
Not Good Enough
With my heart filled with joy
I return it to my love
Only for her to say
"It is still not good enough"
To look even further
But lost in time and space
She spoke of "degrees of love"
It was then that I realised
We were not good enough
Looking back I can see she was right
We'd have wasted our lives lowering our sights
If there's something missing
It doesn't feel like love
And even if it is
It still feels not good enough
All through this time, I must confess
I had a secret mistress
But when she and I finally took to the stage
We really had to hold on to our love
As the audience laughed and cried
"You are truly not good enough"
So thanks Reality for these helpful intrusions
On illusions and my grand self-delusions
It feels like the end
And yet I still can't deny this love
Which I let guide me
Even if you think, we're not good enough
