Adam McClure - Too Much to Do

In the quite and steady back-blocks, by the South Australian boarder
Living with an undiagnosed personality disorder
I’d save up all the glass jars and egg cartons we could handle
With a mouse trap and a box of shells stacked upon the mantle

We never went to town that much, but once I saw a girl
And I believed her to be the most beautiful girl in the world
So I followed her discreetly, while Dad went to his meeting
To shy to talk, I just watched, pretending I was reading

I don’t care about being lonely because now I’ve got too much to do
I’m used to being single, Well now My Babe you’re single too
Got to dig a hole, learn to control myself and keep it secret
There’s no more boyfriend in the way, and thats how I’m going to keep it

I saw her 6 years later, when I went to a party
I wasn’t having any fun till she smiled when she walked past me
Then the whole world seemed just right to me, I knew she was my bride to be
But then I saw her go and kiss some bloke

I never went to town that much, But once I did at night
And I didn’t finish shovelling until the morning light
I packed his clothes and took his car, So it looked like he was leaving
Then I met her accidentally to befriend her in her grieving

I don’t care about being lonely because now I’ve got too much to do
I’m used to being single, Well now My Babe you’re single too
Got to dig a hole, learn to control myself and keep it secret
There’s no more boyfriend in the way, and thats how I’m going to keep it

Well not all things can go to plan, thats why we need patience
I was too shy to bust a move and she soon found a replacement
He’s not a bad bloke, I kind hearted fella, and a good thing going they truely do
I’m going to be a little bit selfish because I’m going to have to off him too

I’m feeling optimistic because this time I’ve had practise
Next time that she’s lonely I’ll make her feel attracted
I’ve been brushing my teeth and combing my hair, Don’t even see the shrink now
I’ll persevere and get the girl, Just watch me and I’ll show you how

I don’t care about being lonely because now I’ve got too much to do
I’m used to being single, Well now My Babe you’re single too
Got to dig a hole, learn to control myself and keep it secret
There’s no more boyfriend in the way, and thats how I’m going to keep it
