Too Much Of Nothing Composer(s): Bob Dylan First release: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
Too much of nothin' can make a man feel ill at ease One man's temper might rise, while the other man's temper might freeze In the days of long confessions, we can not mock a soul When there's too much of nothin', no one has control
Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary, on the waters of oblivion
Too much of nothin' can make a man abuse a king He can walk the streets and boast like most but he don't know a thing It's all been done before, it's all been written in the book But when it's too much of nothin', nobody should look
Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary, on the waters of oblivion
Too much of nothin' can turn a man into a liar It can cause some man to sleep on nails, another man to eat fire Everybody's doin' somethin', I heard it in a dream But when it's too much of nothin', it just makes a fella mean
Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion Send them all my salary, on the waters of oblivion

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be Too many bitter tears are raining down on me I'm far away from home And I've been facing this alone For much too long I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me About growing up and what a struggle it would be In me tangled state of mind I've been looking back to find Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you If you can't make up your mind Torn between the lover And the love you leave behind You're headed for disaster 'cos you never read the signs Too much love will kill you Every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be And it seems like there's no way out of this for me I used to bring you sunshine Now all I ever do is bring you down How would it be if you were standing in my shoes Can't you see that it's impossible to choose No there's no making sense of it Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Too much love will kill you Just as sure as none at all It'll drain the power that's in you Make you plead and scream and crawl And the pain will make you crazy You're the victim of your crime Too much love will kill you Every time
Too much love will kill you It'll make your life a lie Yes, too much love will kill you And you won't understand why You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul But here it comes again Too much love will kill you In the end... In the end

Juke Box Hero Composer(s): Lou Gramm; Mick Jones Performer(s): Foreigner; Binge; Me First; Soul Asylum
Standing in the rain, with his head hung low Couldnt get a ticket, it was a sold out show Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
He heard one guitar, just blew him away He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That one guitar felt good in his hands Didn't take long to understand Just one guitar, slung way down low Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started rockin' Ain't never gonna stop Gotta keep on rockin' Someday he's gonna make it to the top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes Hes a juke box hero He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight
In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour Thought he passed his own shadow by the backstage door Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain And that one guitar made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep rockin' He just can't stop Gotta keep on rockin' That boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes Yeah, juke box hero, got stars in his eyes With that one guitar he'll come alive Come alive tonight
Yeah, he's gotta keep rockin' He just cant stop Gotta keep on rockin' That boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes He's just a juke box hero, aah aah aah Juke box hero, juke box hero, he's got stars in his eyes Stars in his eyes

Some people shoot for the stars Dream up on dreams, they long to go far Chasing their rainbows so high Wish up on wish, they reach for the sky But I've got one little dream And baby that's all I want Girl it's up to you You can make my dreams come true
I just wanna be the one in your life Forever, for always I just wanna be the one in your life Forever, for always
I don't need cheers from the crowd To make me feel big, to make me feel proud Darling just a little touch of your hair Is all that I need to feel like a man But I keep hoping each day I won't dream my life away Girl you are the key To make my dream a reality
I just wanna be the one in your life Forever, for always I just wanna be the one in your life Forever, for always

Juke-Box Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
J'écrivais des chansons sur le coin d'un juke-box Tirant sur un gazon qu'avait rien d'orthodoxe Je balançais mes mots de cuir et de charbon Vivant à fleur de peau dans mes contradictions
Tous les bourgeois frileux ont transformé nos mots En ont fait des jingles rétros pour les radios Ont rachetés nos cuirs, nos motos, nos surins Et nos copeaux bleutés vont finir chez Cardin
J'aurais voulu t'écrire une chanson d'amour Pleine de bons sentiments, de départs, de retours Enrobée de violons et de churs et d'échos 'Fin bref une chanson qui passe à la radio
Quand ton meilleur copain finit par te braquer Tout ce que t'avais gardé pour le froid et l'angoisse S'en va sur le chemin du brown et du sucré Et tu restes tout seul les deux pieds dans la crasse
Moi je dis qu'y a qu'les putes qui peuvent savoir aimer Les yeux de l'intérieur sont faits d'eau et de foudre Tu sais vraiment quelque chose quand t'as tout déréglé Les discours, les dollars, la musique et la poudre
J'aurais voulu t'écrire une chanson d'amour Pleine de bons sentiments, de départs, de retours Enrobée de violons et d'échos et de churs 'Fin bref une chanson branchée sur le secteur
Je ne suis pas un chef, je n'sais pas marcher droit C'est pourquoi camarade tu peux tirer ta ligne Je chanterai toujours pour mes copains d'en bas Ceux que je reconnais sans un mot, sans un signe
C'est sûr on m'descendra un beau jour pour la frime Pour une façon de voir, pour une question bénigne Je s'rais rééduqué par des curés new-look Armés de pataugas, de parkas et de boucs
J'aurais voulu t'écrire une chanson d'amour Pleine de bons sentiments, de départs, de retours Enrobée de violons et de churs et d'échos 'Fin bref une chanson qui passe à la radio
Si j'ai fait le tour de la Terre Tu peux pas dire que j'en suis fier Je suis pourri jusqu'à la moelle Qui veut me vendre un idéal
Et je zone dans les bars de nuit Tu te retournes dans ton lit Bien au chaud dans ton alvéole Tu branches ma cire et tu décolles
Tu sais le soleil est moins chaud Y a du grisou dans le tempo Tu m'aimes vraiment mais tu as peur Tu tires toujours en amateur
You look just like somebody that I, used to know Some old flame I could not handle, so long ago Everything about you looks like, heart over mind Youre just too much candy for a dime
Youre just, too much candy for a dime, aint no way I can look into those eyes of yours, and walk away You think I would know better, but I fall every time Youre just too much candy for a dime
So dance with me and tell me how you, think it could be I cant read your mind so tell me what you, want out of me Youre too good to be true, but then I know, one more time Youre just too much candy for a dime
Youre just, too much candy for a dime, aint no way I can look into those eyes of yours, and just walk away You think I would know better, but I fall every time Youre just too much candy for a dime Youre just too much candy for a dime
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah Youre just too much candy for a dime Youre just too much candy for a dime Youre just too much candy for a dime
I Just Keep Falling In Love Composer(s): Steve Goodman; Bill LaBounty Performer(s): Nicolette Larson and multiple other artists
You want me to leave Well maybe your right You had what it was that you wanted tonight
Now you like the party But after the ball You wanna be free To feel nothing at all
And I just keep falling in love I should know better And I don't know better How could one night be enough I just keep falling in love
Wanna tell me I'm crazy Now maybe that's true I can't hide the way That I feel about you So why should I wonder Why nobody cares Here in the sad state A casual affair
I just keep falling in love I should know better And I don't know better How could one night be enough I just keep falling Just keep falling I just keep falling in love I should know better And I dont know better How could one night be enough I just keep falling Just keep falling
How could one night be enough I just keep falling in love
