It's all too much
It's all too much
It's all too much

When I look into your eyes
Your love is there for me
The deeper that I go inside
The more there is to see

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
And everywhere, it's what you make
For me to take, it's all too much

Floating down the sea of time
From life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are
Or where you'd like to be

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
And all the world is birthday cake
So take a piece but not too much

Set me on a silver sun
Where I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere
And get me home for tea

It's all too much for me to take
A love that's shining all around here
The more I learn, the less I know
And what I do is all too much

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around here
And everything is what you make
For me to take, it's all too much

(It's all too much)

We're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
Then we'll take you higher
Good God

With your long blond hair and your eyes of brown
With your long blond hair and your eyes of brown

Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much
Too much

Originally from Sydney, The Church is an Australian rock band known for their psychedelic-esque music style. Inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2010, their career started in 1980.

The first idea for the band’s name was “The Church of Man” but was shortened to be simply “The Church”. In the same year, 1980, they released their debut album Of Skins and Heart. The album received gold certification and the single “The Unguarded Moment” peaked at #22 on the Australian Kent Music Report. The album itself did not chart but was still considered a commercial success.

Two years later, The Blurred Crusade (1982) was released as what was described as “a smoother, fuller release”. The album charted, peaking at #10 and the single “Almost With You” hit #21. The band did an international tour, including to parts of Europe, including to Scandinavia, where the album also received critical acclaim.
