Too Much Talk Composer(s): Mark Lindsay Performer(s): Paul Revere & the Raiders
Read the news in the Times today... said the world is goin' round (world is goin' round) I don't care what somebody said, somebody always puts 'em down (always puts 'em down) Red or yellow, black or white? Are you left-handed or are you right? When you open your eyes can you see the light? Do you wake up screamin' in the middle of the ni-i-i-ight?
Too much talk, and not enough action Do you know anybody gettin' satisfaction? Everbody wonders 'bout the crowd's reaction And the world gets better by a very small fraction
Turn around till you see a face and it won't be very long (Won't be very long) Someone soon will be in your place and it won't be very wrong (won't be very wrong) Red or yellow, black or white... (to chorus)
Now's our chance to change the world Change the world with love, with love...

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 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
