about

As part of the Blue Peter generation, I too made models of Tracy Island out of string and cereal boxes. They were crap, but that didn't matter. They were good enough, because you made them, and the joy was in the making. We all grew up and went rat racing before growing down again and finally realising that everyone has imposter syndrome. Perfection doesn't matter. It isn't the point.

lyrics

Good Enough

Here’s something I made earlier
It’s not all right, but it’s not all wrong
No masterpiece
I made it up as I went along
Is it good – enough?

Well it’s no perfect 10
I didn’t smash it – I smashed it up again
And should it stand or fall
I didn’t nail it – when I nailed it to the wall

I’m not looking for absolution
Can’t even tell you what that means
No promised land, no milk and honey
No all or nothing, just somewhere in between

To live the dream now – it’s never what it seems
To play this dream out – and nothing less than love
Is good enough, good enough

To fix this busted place
To see in colour, past the colour of her face
Still I don’t understand
We live in pieces – every woman every man

I’m still looking for resolution
A revolution in my head
Better wake up, come together
Sisters brothers we can sleep when we are dead

So live the dream now - it’s never what it seems
Let’s play this dream out - And nothing less than love
Is good enough is good enough
To live this dream out – D-Damascene now
And nothing less than love
Is good enough, good enough is good enough

Come all you dealers
You fearless unbelievers
Come on you holy rollers
You demons winners losers

Live the dream now - play this dream out
Nothing less than love – is good enough, is good enough
Is good enough.
