I can see you in your Spanish hideaway
You spend your hours counting the money that you've made
You built your empire out as far as the eye can see
But every night your cries are carried on the breeze
You’re singing!
It’s not enough!
To be a real go getter
It’s not enough!
You gotta be one better
It’s not enough!
Let’s sing together
It’s never gonna be enough!
It’s never gonna be enough!
I'm a self made man I've made a dime or two
Invested wisely in the stocks they told me to
I'll keep on going till I'm number one - the winner
Then I'll carry on and into minus figures
It’s not enough!
To be a real go getter
It’s not enough!
You gotta be one better
It’s not enough!
Let’s sing together
It’s never gonna be enough!
It’s not enough!
To be a real jet setter
It’s not enough!
You gotta be one better
It’s not enough!
Lets sing together
It’s never gonna be enough!
No it’s never gonna be enough
No it’s never gonna be enough
HEY!
It’s not enough!
To be a real go getter
It’s not enough!
You gotta be one better
It’s not enough!
Let’s sing together
It’s never gonna be enough!
It’s not enough!
It’s never gonna be enough!

And so the sun sets on another baking day
You’ve wiled away in your Ibizan hideaway
Surrounded by intelligent and sparkle-eyed young girls
Possessing almost all the money in the world
So you’ve succeeded, that’s concluded, that’s a fact
All goals achieved and superseded in fact
But when you’re lying in your gossamer sheets
You will always reach the same conclusion
It’s not enough!
Won’t make the world seem brighter
It’s not enough!
It won’t make people like you
It’s not enough!
Won’t make the sun feel warmer
It’s not enough!
On stage in the astrodome as screaming fills the hall
And you feel absolutely nothing at all
Rummage for emotions you’d planned on having now
But they’re not there because there’s hotter shows in town
Now you could leave your dreams abandoned through and through
So you won’t be deflated when they come true
There’s nothing more fulfilling than remaining unfulfilled
And that would seem to be a fine solution
It’s not enough!
There’s always somewhere hotter
It’s not enough!
There’s always someone cooler
It’s not enough!
To make life worth living
It’s not enough!
Everything and nothing they’re never enough
Everything and nothing are so easy to bluff
As consumer electronics all get flatter and squarer
Every aspiration just gets rarer and rarer
When you succeed
It’s just another rung on the ladder of failure
When you succeed
No-one’s gonna bother to catch you or save you

Spray Lancashire, UK
Ric and Jen were members of 21st century pop terrorists The Cuban Boys, who topped John Peel's Festive 50 and the UK singles
charts.
Their offshoot project Spray predicted the electropop boom, unfortunately much too early for them to cash in. They released two albums in 2002 and 2006.
In 2016 they released their first full length studio album in 10 years - 'Enforced Fun'.

The Satellite Junkyard (Decoded)
by Cuban Boys
supported by 11 fans who also own “It's Not Enough (single with Kid Kasio)”
Satellite Junkyard (mixed) is a great radio-transmission-style journey, but sometimes it's great to hear the tracks separately. The bonus tracks are AMAZING additions to the already great album.

Cuban Boys have always had their own individual style, and this record is no different, with a strong collection of very fine tracks. And at almost an hour long, it represents extremely good value.

Just a lot of sheer entertainment. I felt it was about time that I got a Cuban Boys record and this seemed as good as any. A wonderful listen.
