Written by Bauhaus (Daniel Ash, David J, Kevin Haskins & Peter Murphy). Produced by Bauhaus. The opening track (3:53) on Go Away White (Cooking Vinyl/Bauhaus Music, March 2008), recorded in 2006 at Zircon Skye studio in just 18 days.

Bauhaus’s first studio album in 25 years and their final one, with the opening track chosen to kick things off with the band’s classic goth-rock sound. The album was made largely in first takes, and Peter Murphy has said it felt like the right time for the band to end. Critics at the time saw it as a summary of their career, with reviewers noting the influence of the members’ later work with Love and Rockets and Murphy’s solo career.

Bauhaus – Too Much 21st Century Lyrics

There outta be
Something better

A better singer
A better actor
Better job

Better money
Better get her
Better lover
Better not

Too much luck
Too much conceit
Give me one religion
It’s too much

Too much
Passing information

Too much selfish
Too much fake
Too much computer
Too much to take
It’s too much

Too much effort
Too much, kid
Too much control
Control
It’s too much

Bet you want to
Be something better
A better singer
A better actor
Better job

Better money
Better got her
Better love her
Better not

Ready?
A better human

It’s too much
It’s too much
Oh, yeah
