Day 158 - Aimee Mann -Nothing Is Good Enough

DAY 158
Aimee Mann – "Nothing Is Good Enough”
From "Bachelor No. 2"




I love Aimee Mann as a singer/songwriter. She is amazingly talented. This song is especially unique. I love the lyrics, the mellow yet semi sad vibe...

This is the only clip I could find featuring the song. Some random video, (which oddly sorta fits the song in a way), but more importantly it gives you a sample to hear the entire song.

The lyrics are so good I am going to post them for your reading pleasure and curiosity should your interest be peaked enough to maintain your attention for a moment more:


Once upon a time is how it always goes
but I'll make it brief
what was started out with such excitement
now I'd gladly end end with relief
in what now has become a familiar motif:
That nothing is good enough
for people like you
who have to have someone take the fall
and something to sabotage--
determined to lose it all
Critics at their worst could never criticize
the way that you do
no, there's no one else, I find,
to undermine or dash a hope
quite like you
and you do it so casually, too
Cause nothing is good enough
for people like you
who have to have someone take the fall
and something to sabotage--
determined to lose it all
Ladies and gentlemen--
here's exhibit A
didn't I try again?
And did the effort pay?
Wouldn't a smarter man
simply walk away?
It doesn't really help that you can never say
what you're looking for
but you'll know it when you hear it,
know it when you see it walk through the door
So you say--
so you've said many times before
But nothing is good enough
for people like you
who have to have someone take the fall
and something to sabotage--
determined to lose it all
