Its All Too Much Lyrics by Joe Jackson

Its All Too Much Lyrics

    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 to struggle thru
    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 for me to do
    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
    Honey please come home
    Won't you please come home
