It's All Too Much Lyrics - Joe Jackson

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'm cursed 

I hate this supermarket 

But I have to say it makes me think 

A hundred mineral waters 

Fun to guess which ones are safe to drink 

Two hundreds 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 just too much for me to do (struggle through) 

Especially without 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 

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 to struggle through 

Especially without 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 just too much to follow through 

Especially without you 

Please come home 

Honey, please come home 

Won't you please come home?
