Too Nice To Talk To Composer(s): Roger Charlery - Andy Cox - Everett Morton - Dave Steele - Dave Wakeling Performer(s): The English Beat
It's too late now It's twenty past two I spent the night just watchin' you I watched you dance I watched you move Can't breath and still I watched you move away
Now I think quite a lot as I stare at my shoes About all these things that I put myself through Now there's nothing to say And there's nothing to do You're just too nice to talk to Too nice to talk to You're too nice to talk to You're too nice to talk to
The Radcliffs wouldn't come after you I glance but you just stared me through Felt such a fool I felt you knew But you might tell me to go away
Now I think quite a lot of my own point of view Is that all I have that's in common with you
Emotions So Guarded
My heart is retarded You're too nice to talk to Too nice to talk to You're too nice to talk to You're too nice to talk to
This evening hasn't gone like I planned Should I take the situation in hand Can't go on but I can't seem to dance You chain my feet I stamp and stamp and stamp Because nothing I do ever seems to be right
The same dance of mine
Every saturday night Out the window You might say I'm out of of my mind But you're too nice to talk to Too nice to talk to You're too nice to talk to Too nice to talk to You're too nice to talk to Too nice!

I'd like to love you , with all of my heart You've had me on your trip, right from the start And when you looked at me, with love in your eyes I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I'd like to hold you, if you want me to I've found something new , just by looking at you And it's in your smile, and it's in the way I knew I'd want you, oh yeah
I meet so many people, I feel I don't know But I felt so close to you, when you said hello I'd like to love you, and together we'd find The place we've been looking for, we'll have peace of mind There we'll be happy, and there I'll know why I knew I'd want you, oh yeah

Too Much, Too Little, Too Late Composer(s): Nat Kipler - John Vallins First release: Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams - 1978
Guess it's over, call it a day Sorry that it had to end this way No reason to pretend We knew it had to end someday This way
Guess it's over, the kids are gone What's the use of trying to hang on Somewhere we lost the key So little left for you and me And it's clear to see
Too much, too little, too late to lie again with you Too much, too little, too late to try again with you We're in the middle of ending something that we knew Was over {Oh, it was over}
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again Too much, too little, too late, let's end at being friends Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end And it's over (It's over)
Guess it's over, the chips are down (Whoa, babe) Pity all our bridges tumbled down Whatever chance we try, let's face it widened eye It's over {It's over}, it's over {Oh... ho...}
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again Too much, too little, too late, let's end at being friends Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end And it's over {And it's over}, it's over {And it's over}
Too much, too little, too late to ever try again Too much, too little, too late, let's end at being friends Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end

Too Much Too Young ((Adapted from: Birth Control (Lloyd Terrell) - 1970)) Composer(s): Jerry Dammers - Lloyd Charmers Performer(s): The Specials - 1979 and multiple other artists
You done too much much too young You're married with a kid when you could be having fun with me You done too much much too young Now you're married with a son when you should be having fun with me
Don't wanna be rich, don't wanna be famous
Ain't he cute, no he ain't He's just another burden on the welfare state
Call me immature, call me a poseur I'll to spread manure in your bed of roses Don't we wanna be rich Don't we wanna be famous But I'd really hate to have the same name as you
You done too much much too young Now you're chained to the kitchen making currant buns for tea
Ain't you heard of the starving millions Ain't you heard of conraception Do you really wanna go with the sterilization Take control of the population boom It's in your living room Keep a generation gap Try wearing a cap
I Keep Going Back To Joe's Composer(s): Marvin Fisher; Jack Segal Performer(s): Nat King Cole and multiple other artists
I keep going back to Joe's To that table in the corner Sippin' wine and staring at the door
Our old waiter knows we're through Still he sets a place for you Everything the way it was before
I keep going back to Joe's But the man who plays piano Never plays your favorite melody
Joe keeps busy at the bar Never asks me where you are He was there when you walked out on me Now I pray you'll walk back in And you'll say, "What fools we've been" And we'll celebrate a happy new beginning
Chances are you'll never show But you'll know just where to find me Every night until it's time to close
Just in case you miss me, too I'll be there to welcome you That's why I keep going back... That's why I keep going back... To Joe's
Julie Composer(s): Maurice Vidalin; Jacques Datin Performer(s): Marcel Amont; Michèle Arnaud; Mouloudji
N'allez pas Julie, vous rouler dans l'herbe Quand Monsieur l'abbé déjeune au château N'allez pas non plus jouer aux proverbes Avec les bergers aux tendres flûtiaux Et je vous défends, vilaine petite Nue dans la rivière, au milieu du bourg De dire aux pêcheurs: "je suis une truite Me pêche qui veut m'apprendre l'amour"
{Refrain:} Les yeux baissés Les genoux serrés Faites de la dentelle Faites de l'aquarelle De la tapisserie De la pâtisserie Mais n'allez pas surtout Courir le guilledou Avant de prendre époux
Avec Ferdinand, vous n'êtes plus d'âge A vous trémousser foll' sur ses genoux En lui agaçant le bout des moustaches Pour voir si ça pique ou bien si c'est doux! Et quand vous sentez son trouble, Julie Ne demandez pas d'un air innocent "Cousin, dites-moi si je suis jolie Et si je fais plus que mes dix-huit ans"
{Refrain}
Un matin, Julie, blanche à la chapelle Devant la famille vous direz ce "oui" Qui vous livrera timide gazelle Aux tendres assauts de votre mari Dès le lendemain, vous serez tranquille Je ne serai plus là pour vous gronder Vous pourrez alors, femme d'imbécile Prendre autant d'amants que vous le voudrez
{Refrain2:} Les yeux baissés Les genoux serrés Faites de la dentelle Faites de l'aquarelle De la tapisserie De la pâtisserie En attendant le jour Qui ne saurait tarder De votre liberté
Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool Got the twelve o'clock news blues And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps And a bottle of cold brew Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at all Well I'm so tired of losing - I got nothing to do and all day to do it I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get there Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal? Is it any wonder I'm not in jail? Is it any wonder I've got
Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands Too much time on my hands
Well, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems Without even trying I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends That is, as long as I'm buying Is it any wonder I'm not the president (He's not the president) Is it any wonder I'm null and void? Is it any wonder I've got
Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away at my sanity I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands Too much time on my hands
I Keep Forgettin' Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller First release by: Chuck Jackson - 1962 Covered by multiple other artists
I keep forgettin' we're not in love anymore I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear I keep forgettin' every time that you are near

I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear I keep forgettin' every time I hear How you never want to live a lie
How we're supposed to follow You don't have to tell me why Why you going And why the game is through If this is not true If this is not true Tell me how I keep forgettin' I'm in love with you Hey babe Things will never be the same, again
I keep forgettin' how you made that so real Yeah yeah baby Don't say that Don't say that Don't say that I know you're not mine, anymore Any way Any time Tell me how we're not in love anymore How come I Things will never be the same
I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear I keep forgettin' every time you are near We're not in love anymore Every time you're near me Things will never be the same
Oh baby, how you made that so clear Every time you are near
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
