Joe Jackson(born August 11, 1954 in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, as David Ian Jackson) is a British musician. Jackson is probably best-known for the 1982 hit song Steppin' Out, which still gets extensive FM radio airplay, and for his 1979 hit, Is She Really Going Out with Him? Although born in Staffordshire, Jackson grew up in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. He started off learning to play the violin but soon switched to piano. From the age of 16 he played in bars, and won a scholarship to study musical composition at London's Royal Academy of Music. Jackson did not like the prospect of being a serious composer, and moved towards pop and rock.

Enough Is Not Enough Lyrics

Joe Jackson

Slow down, you know youre leaving me behind
You seem to think that you can read my mind
You think Im rich, you think Im free
You wanna change your place with me
Be a leader then the blind can lead the blind
Happens all the time
Cant you understand . . .
Enough is not enough, its not enough . . .
Its not enough
Ive been filled with culture, Ive been filled with lies
And compliments from people I despise
Shake my hand and sing along
Always getting one line wrong
Shout for more when I know I just died
Died . . .
Cant you understand . . .
Enough is not enough, its not enough . . .
Its not enough
So - when I think I know my way around
Im gonna take a bus to the other side of town
Im gonna stay out all night long
Gonna sing some strange new song
Lose myself and hope I dont get found
Dont ask me how
Cant you understand . . .
Enough is not enough, its not enough . . .
Its not enough
