It`s All Too Much — текст песни (Joe Jackson)





It`s All Too Much

Some days I can`t get started
Wondering which shoe to put on first
Or should I brush my teeth
Before or after I put on my shirt
So many big decisions
Boiled or scrambled, fried or even raw
I`m so damn open-minded
Used to think I`m lucky but I`m cursed

I hate this supermarket
But I have to say it makes me think
A hundred mineral waters
It`s fun to guess which ones are safe to drink
Two hundred brands of cookies
87 kinds of chocolate chip
They say that choice is freedom
I`m so free it drives me to the brink

And you know why - it`s all too much

It`s all too much for me to bear
What kind of shampoo suits my hair
It`s all too much (1) for me to do (1)
Especially without you
Won`t you please come home
Honey please come home

I read the morning paper
But it all changes by the evening news
The world got so much smaller
I don`t know which piece of it to choose
I`d like to fight apartheid
Wish that I could fight the guy upstairs
I`d solve a dozen cases
If only there weren`t so many clues

What shall we do this evening
Send out for some sushi and champagne
Stay in and watch TV
50 channels can`t all be the same
Maybe go to a movie
50 films on 50 tiny screens
They say that choice is freedom
I`m so free it`s driving me insane

And you know why - it`s all too much

It`s all too much for me to stand
So much supply and no demand
There`s just too much (2) to struggle throu (2)
Especially without you
Won`t you please come home
Honey please come home

I`d like to get to know
All the many people I could be
If I just had the time
I`m sure I could find out which one is me
Maybe I need religion
Or meditation `til I disappear
They say that choice is freedom
I`m so free I`m stuck in therapy

And you know why - it`s all too much

It`s all too much for me to take
Try to be real, feel like a fake
It`s all too much to follow thru
Especially without you
Please come home
Honey please come home
Won`t you please come home
