'
Too Much Of Anything', another out-take from 'Lifehouse', is a rather pedestrian rock ballad, with Nicky Hopkins on piano. It deals with greed and its consequences, but the song meanders along indifferently without the punch of the other 'Lifehouse' songs
"I think these hands have felt a lot
I don't know, what have I touched
I think these eyes have seen a lot
I don't know, maybe they've seen too much
I think this brain has thought a lot
Searching, trying to find the crutch
I think this heart has bled once too often
This time it's bled a bit too much
Too much of anything is too much for me
Too much of everything gets too much for me
I can't remember before '49
But I know '48 was there
My ears let in what I should speak out
Hmmm, there's something in the air
I've overloaded on my way
Bye bye, you better keep in touch
I think your ears hear a whole lot of music
And like me you've heard a bit too much
Too much of anything, is too much for me
Too much of everything gets too much for me
I think these hands have felt a lot
I don't know, what have I touched?
I think these eyes have seen a lot
I don't know, maybe they've seen too much
I think this brain has thought a lot
Searching, I've tried to find the crutch
I think this heart has bled once too often
This time it's bled a bit too much
Too much of anything, is too much for me
Too much of everything gets too much for me"
The next two songs on the album have already been mentioned - 'Glow Girl' on the expanded version of 'The Who Sell Out' and 'Pure And Easy' on the expanded version of 'Who's Next', so the next new song is '
Faith In Something Bigger'. This early song, written in 1968, is an unsophisticated attempt by Pete to express his growing devotion to his God. There are some charming vocal harmonies, but the song is unsubtle and, by the high standards set by the band, somewhat naive
"
It may be warm but the snow is going to fall
Enough to cover us all
We've gotta be strong men and follow a path again
We've got to have faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something big inside ourself
It might be cold but the heat of our love will melt
The snow we never felt
We're young and hardy again, we bow to weaker men
We've got to have faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something big inside ourself
The more we learn, the less we believe to be true
The more we prove, the more remains to be proved
We've gotta be strong men and follow a path again
We've got to have faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something big inside ourself, inside ourself
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger
Faith in something bigger"
