Too Much Of Nothing Lyrics - Sandy Denny

Well, too much of nothing 

Can make a man fell ill at ease 

One man's temper might start to rise 

And another man's might freeze 

And there's a day of long confession 

We cannot mock the soul 

But when there's too much of nothing 

No one has control. 

Chorus 

Say hello to valerie 

Say hello to marian 

Send them all my salary 

On the waters of oblivion. 

Well, too much of nothing 

Can make a man abuse his king 

Well, he can walk down streets and boast like most 

But it don't mean a thing 

It's all been done before 

It's all been written in the book 

But when there's too much of nothing 

Nobody should look. 

(chorus) 

Well, too much of nothing 

Can turn a man into a liar 

It can cause some man to sleep on nails 

And another one to eat fire 

Well, everybody's doin' somethin' 

I saw it in a dream 

But when there's too much of nothing 

It just makes a fellow mean.
