Commune Ah Pook the Destroyer (Ft. The Matthew Show & Paul Shapera)

Utopia it seems was not as close as we had dreamed
It doesn't last much past when things get rough
How we loved other so and the new life we would grow
But sometimes love is not enough

Me and Casey and the twins, Greg and Jane, we were all in
Bought that land there maybe twenty-five of us
Full of vision, full of dreams to make a new society
But sometimes love is not enough

It all went oh so fine, the work was hard, we didn't mind
Although the twins just tried to smoke their dope all day
And the summer heat would rise, the water in the well went dry
And those rashes they just wouldn't go away

And possessions we had scorned and free love we all adored
But jealousy will get into your gut
And Casey never slept in my bed anymore, just Greg's
Sometimes love is not enough

I loved her, so I did, but she grew pregnant with Greg's kid
And I started taking to just wandering off
And one day there Greg tried to tell me I shouldn't mind
I knew what I did what wrong but couldn't stop
