Intro: (2x) Too much singing for my living tonight To a song for friends and company Too much is the matter with the giving on spite Here's one for the giving and the other for free The straw that broke the camel's back Has blown upon my window sill I may look beaten, but I don't look back When you break my heart, you feed my will Bridge: This should be an Instrumental But it seems I've made up words Though they have a way of getting in the way What a way to be absurd It's a way of being heard INTERLUDE: Ba da, ooh la la laa Too much is the matter with the giving on spite Here's one for the giving and the other for free Too much time for resting easy Not enough to sleep all night And the shooting star I take for dreaming Wakes me down, the doctor's right Is the doctor ever right? INTERLUDE: Oh oh laa, oh-oh oh-laa Oh-oh oooh, oh oh oh oh Oh god, I need to swallow you whole again I gotta mend the old soul again All I need is some inner peace Oh god, I need to swallow you whole again I've gotta mend the old soul again All I need is some inner peace Oh, inner peace Oh-oh ooh, oh oh oh oh Give the soul a way to fly Soothe the eyes of memory Let's give it all for an answer why If you reach the heaven, the spirit's on me There's too much singing for my living tonight To a song for friends and company Too much is the matter with the giving on spite Here's one for the giving and the other for free
