Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You were under the impression

That when you were walking forwards

That'd you'd end up further onward

But things ain't quite that simple

[Verse 2]

You got altered information

You were told to not take chances

You missed out on new dances

Now you're losing all your dimples

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Love reign o'er me

Reign o'er me

Love reign o'er me

Love

[Bridge]

I've had enough of living

I've had enough of dying

I've had enough of smiling

I've had enough of crying

[Bridge]

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

[Bridge]

I've had enough of living

I've had enough of dying

I've had enough of smiling

I've had enough of crying

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

Get a job and fight to keep it

Strike out to reach a mountain

Be so nice on the outside

But inside keep ambition

[Verse 4]

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

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Love reign o'er me

Reign o'er me

Love reign o'er me

Love

[Outro]

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

[Outro]

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
