Story behind the song
One of the Monkee's trademarks has always been absolutely excellent vocals. IMHO, Davy Jones does some of his best background vocals ever on the original version of this song. I did the best I could with a bit of electronic assistance, even though I really can't sing for beans. Hey, someone had to do it. In any case, hopefully my version didn't come out overly offensive to the ear.
As you may have guessed from the album title, they did all composition, arranging and performances... Perhaps a symbolic final nail in the coffin to prove they were indeed a real band.
Arrangements, all instruments and vocals by Craig Guerrieri.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Craig Guerrieri at Cygnus Studios, Florida, USA. 2019.
Lyrics
Why is it never enough
No matter what I do?
I gave it all that I've got
And it's always too few
And now you're asking for more
Why do I hesitate?
'Cause I know in the end
That it's always too late
And it's not enough for you
I've often heard you say
You've got to seize the day
That when your life is gone,
Oh how it's gone for so long
But there are often times
When life is not so kind
And there are those around
Who need your feet on the ground
And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
Oh, I long for all those years
Wasted alone with these endless tears
And it's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
It's not enough
It's never enough
I don't stand a chance
To fill your sweet lovin' cup
'Cause it's not enough
It's never enough
It's not enough for you
For you
