Its All Too Much — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Some days I cant 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

Im so damn open-minded

Used to think Im lucky but Im cursed



I hate this supermarket

But I have to say it makes me think

A hundred mineral waters

Its 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

Im so free it drives me to the brink



And you know why - its all too much



Its all too much for me to bear

What kind of shampoo suits my hair

Its all too much to struggle thru

Especially without you

Wont 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 dont know which piece of it to choose

Id like to fight apartheid

Wish that I could fight the guy upstairs

Id solve a dozen cases

If only there werent so many clues



What shall we do this evening

Send out for some sushi and champagne

Stay in and watch tv

50 channels cant all be the same

Maybe go to a movie

50 films on 50 tiny screens

They say that choice is freedom

Im so free its driving me insane



And you know why - its all too much



Its all too much for me to stand

So much supply and no demand

Theres just too much for me to do

Especially without you

Wont you please come home

Honey please come home



Id like to get to know

All the many people I could be

If I just had the time

Im sure I could find out which one is me

Maybe I need religion

Or meditation til I disappear

They say that choice is freedom

Im so free Im stuck in therapy



And you know why - its all too much



Its all too much for me to take

Try to be real, feel like a fake

Its all too much to follow thru

Especially without you

Honey please come home

Wont you please come home
