about

'Too Much Time' was one of the earliest songs I wrote specifically for/and performed with the original 'Immaculate Crows' in 1982 and later with 'The Popes'. I was impressed by how the Police fused reggae and rock but unlike the Police I made the verses in this song more Garage/Punk sounding. I retained the original format of the original but added some synth sounds to add a 'New Wave' feel. This is the last song produced during my brief partnership with former band member Mark Hocknell. It features the amazing Daphne Mae on lead vocals and exciting newcomer Jessica Tasmin on backup vocals.

lyrics

I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands

I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands

Although you’re just a memory
Long ago is too near it seems
Even see you in my dreams
In my dreams

I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands

I see you everywhere I go
The people I see
We used to know
You’re still inside me it seems
So it seems

I need courage
To get over you
And I hope
It’s coming soon
But today
Seems like yesterday
So near
And so far away

I’ll probably never see you again
Friendships fade, friendships end
But getting over some
Isn’t easy

I’ll probably never see you again
Friendships fade, friendships end
But getting over some
Isn’t easy

Isn’t easy
Isn’t easy

I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands

You’re just a memory
But I even see you in my dreams
