This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You were under the impression
That when you were walking forwards
You'd end up further onward
But things ain't quite that simple
You got altered information
You were told to not take chances
You missed out on new dances
Now you're losing all your dimples
My jacket's gonna be cut and slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet
Love reign o'er me
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
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
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet
Love reign o'er me
Reign o'er me
Love reign o'er me
Love
I've had enough of dance halls
I've had enough of pills
I've had enough of street fights
I've seen my share of kills
I'm finished with the fashions
And acting like I'm tough
I'm bored with hate and passion
I've had enough of trying to love
That when you were walking forwards
You'd end up further onward
But things ain't quite that simple
You got altered information
You were told to not take chances
You missed out on new dances
Now you're losing all your dimples
My jacket's gonna be cut and slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet
Love reign o'er me
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
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
My jacket's gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet
Love reign o'er me
Reign o'er me
Love reign o'er me
Love
I've had enough of dance halls
I've had enough of pills
I've had enough of street fights
I've seen my share of kills
I'm finished with the fashions
And acting like I'm tough
I'm bored with hate and passion
I've had enough of trying to love

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

My jacket's gonna be cut and slim and checked Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck. I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat I wear my war time coat in the wind and sleet.
Love reign o'er me. Love reign o'er me. Love.
Had enough of living, Had enough of dying, Had enough of smiling, Had enough of crying, Taken all the high roads, I've squandered and I've saved, I've had enough of childhood, I've had enough of grades.
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 grades.

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 fashions, And acting like I'm tough, I'm bored with hate and passion, I've had enough of crime and love."
"Hurt them first they'll love you." Who's the moron who wrote the lyrics? Please tell me the band borrowed some part-time, out-of-field writing team for these.
On the 1997 tour, the first verse was sung by PJ Proby who played the Godfather, the second by Roger, the third by Billy Idol who played the Ace Face, and the fourth (Love reign o'er me) by Roger again. I think these verses are an argument between Jimmy's personalities which ends in a contemplation of suicide. This is where Jimmy takes his first positive step: he decides to go back to Brighton and the sea which is a metaphor for a kind of spiritual unity.
I really like this interpretation, and I think it makes sense. There's so much going on here, it's contradictory to a large extent. Compare "I'm finished with the fashions and acting like I'm tough" to "My jacket's gonna be cut and slim and checked, Maybe a touch of seersucker, with an open neck. I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat, Wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet." it's really a contradiction, it's like Jimmy can't tell which voice to listen to, so to speak. Jimmy's passive side I especially see contradictory attitudes between this, and the sense of conviction you get from lines such as "You were under the impression that when you were walking forward you'd end up further onward, but things aren't quite that simple." Although there's no direct lyrical contradiction between these lines and the other personalities, the attitudes seem to be almost completely the opposite of "I've had enough of living, I've had enough of dying." How can you be so indifferent and so convictive at the same time? I think my favorite contrast in the song is "I'm bored with hate and passion, I've had enough of trying to love" and his plea "Love reign O'er Me." Of course he's not literally speaking about love as in the kind between two human beings, but rather a spiritual cleansing (and his ultimate fate) - still by seeking a spiritual cleansing Jimmy realizes that maybe if he can just escape his own thoughts - and seek purity, love and passion will come to him once again. It's not that he has actually been rendered incapable of passion - he's just "had enough" - passion is too hard - too difficult.<br /> <br /> Eventually all of the voices get to be too much - he has to escape - he has to get out of his own mind. This leads to the song where Jimmy goes "out of [his] brain on the train."
@Regos the Sane saw the 97 tour as well in MSG! Memories! Great show! ✌️
I just submitted the correct lyrics but there is no telling when they will be approved...
P.S. I freaking love this song!!!!
"What's the point? I've had enought of this s**t, I can't live anymore, I can't live this pettey 'MOD' Lifestyle..."
Note that Pete Townshend said "Mod is a shorter word for 'young beautiful and stupid.'"
this is the wrong lyrics for the wrong song! had enough is from keith moon's last album, who are you! The other song is I've had enough from the rock opera quadrphenia. this is a completely different song! Somebody fix this error! Peace out!!
