Too Many Words was included in the top 30 list for the CONTEMPORARY POP DANCE Category of the 2022 Australian Songwriting Contest. 

I was thinking one day about how my songs are wordy.  I had the thought that I could write one that was mostly the words "too many words" and would have far fewer words than most.  Naturally irony prevailed and "Too Many Words" probably has too many words.

=========================

Chorus 1:
Too many words
Get in the way
Of all the clever things
I was planning to say
Too many words
Over the top
I know what I'm doing
But I can't seem to stop

Verse 1:
I've been nervous thinking
About what I'd say tonight
I rehearsed a whole lot cuz
I wanted to get it right
I was looking here and there
Through all the words I knew
To find the words to tell you
How I feel about you

Chorus 2:
Too many words
Got in the way
Of whatever it was I thought
That I wanted say
The most important things
Are hard to convey
That's when too many words
Get in the way

Bridge:
Long as I remember it's always been this way
No matter what I talk about I've got too much to say
All my songs are far too long
All my stories are long too
I rarely choose a single word when 5 or 10 will do.

Verse 2:
I stumbled over adjectives
Adverbs, nouns and verbs
All I heard myself say
was a jumbled mess of words
Felt i should Apologise
For what I'd put you through
Before I could you smiled and said
You already knew

Chorus 3:
I wasn't sure
What it was I heard
I was still caught up in my
Avalanche of words
I felt so alive like I could
Laugh and dance and sing
But I couldn't manage
to say a single thing

Chorus 4:
You taught me a lot
‘bout talking since that day
I’ve learned that what you hear
Matters more than what I say
I still got a ways to go
Before I master brevity
But I’m getting better at telling you
what you mean to me
I took some time and thought about
All the words I could do without
One by one I cut them out
'Til the only words left numbered three

TecRxyne Yuh, Uh
Nun Nuh, Nuh Nuh

[Bridge: TecRxyne]
Niggas really don’t want static
My glock like a wand, it make em disappear, magic
Always stepping with Air Force 1s, you know my fashion 
Niggas talk shit but ain’t with it, they be acting 

Want a feature, better send that transaction 
Cash up to the ceiling, just know I’m stacking 
Many fish in the sea, but some be interested backing
Bitches ain’t shi, All that love apart of acting 


[Hook: TecRxyne]
We can go to war, I got gadgets 
My glock a mathematician, it be doing subtraction 
Always stepping with Air Force 1s, you know my fashion 
I put my all into this shit, cause it’s really my passion

Yea, Yea
Want a feature, better send that transaction 
Cash up to the ceiling, just know I’m stacking 
Many fish in the sea, but some be interested backing
Bitches ain’t shi, All that love apart of acting 


[Verse: RekFlou]
Uh
I get my air force right, I keep em lowkey 
More like when I step out with my niggas I be low 
I keep myself right in the hood, I play it safe
I don’t want to see my opps cause I keep it peace 
Uh, I don’t want to see no fucking blood on my hands 
It’s the time me and my niggas fucking rocking Afs
It’s the only thing I see when I’m hitting shopping
Niggas they be asking how I do it, I said, “One Thing” 
Told em I don’t really drink and I don’t smoke, that’s why I’m high key 
It’s why I always put my voice to the test, it’s why I nail it
Whenever they put me on the beat, I work like overtime 
That’s why they call me Boss Ducky cause I got my thing, yessir


[Bridge: TecRxyne]
Niggas really don’t want static

Cash up to the ceiling, just know I’m stacking 
Many fish in the sea, but some be interested backing
Bitches ain’t shi, All that love apart of acting

The Little Mermaid has seen many ships
Cargo, ferries, they all make her sick
She dreams of planes going to Arctic
She's sure one day to leave the Baltic

And until now, her tail on the ground, 
She is flashed out. 
I look at her and I can't help her. 
It's getting darker.

The Little Mermaid used to trap the men.
She can’t stand them. They're so weak and vain.
Once she believed that she found the one. 
He cheated on her. She cut his head down.

And until now, her tail on the ground, 
She is flashed out. 
I look at her and I can't help her. 
It's getting darker.
