Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands Lyrics






Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
Got the twelve o'clock news blues
And I've given up hope for the afternoon soaps
And a bottle of cold brew
Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? Is it any wonder I'm sane at all
Well I'm so tired of losing- I got nothing to do and all day to do it
I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get there
Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands?
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands
(It's t-t-t-t-ticking away)
Too much time on my hands
(And I don't know what to do with myself)
Too much time on my hands

Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

Now, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems
Without even trying
I got dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying
Is it any wonder I'm not the president
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands?
It's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands
It's hard to believe such a calamity
I got too much time on my hands
And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands
(T-t-t-t-ticking away)
Too much time on my hands
(And I don't know what to do with myself)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
(T-t-t-t-ticking away)
Too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands
(Too much time on my hands)
(Too much time on my)

  1. E.... G....

    getting WhirRose vibes here. i dunno. anyone here cause of mr. robot(from our lord and savior Sam Esmail)?

  2. G.... M....

    Uno sguardo che mi mette paura

  3. X.... ....

    First "Music Video" I ever saw. Stationed in the Philippines back when this came out, and saw it on AFN TV. My first thought was "What a great idea, make a video to go with the song". LOL

  4. D.... W....

    Tommy Shaw has to much on his hands

  5. d.... r....

    I'm here after Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd's remake of it. Brilliant!!!

  6. E.... H....

    One of the best bands ever!

  7. N.... ....

    When I was in the fourth grade I had a crush on this girl named Kelly, then I found out she liked me. That was on Friday. On Saturday morning I saw this video for the first time in my life and realized that Tommy Shaw looked exactly like a boy version of Kelly. I was mortified. I didn't like her anymore after that. 😑

    N.... ....

    Haaa! Good'un Sir ....

  8. T.... ....

    0:00 ... Aannndd I’m laughing😂😂

    What a classy start to the video, gotta love the times🙌🏻😂❤️😂

  9. D.... R....

    Tommy effing shaw...helluva guitarist.

  10. r.... ....

    Back when cocaine was pure and cheap

  11. V.... R....

    So funny

  12. I.... e....

    That blonde chick is my Dad

  13. D.... K....

    The blonde chick playing pool is my grandmother. She looks much older due to her excessive smoking, alcohol intake, and hanging around with the members of Styx!!!

  14. j.... c....

    is it any wonder i am sane at all?

  15. j.... ....

    they all look so damn cool

  16. r.... ....

    This is from that brief awkward period when the 70s and 80s existed simultaneously!

    r.... ....

    @rivotrich7 I can't argue with you on that. My view of fashion in 1980 was corduroy infused with a flannel shirt. That wouldn't become stylish til 10 years later when Grunge reared it's ugly head!

    r.... ....

    Daniel Katzenjammer My parents bought me plenty of corduroy fashions for school and church wear back then. For some reason, I don’t think those threads made me very popular with my friends back then, and I don’t think they even came back into fashion in later days! 🤷‍♂️ 😄

    r.... ....

    @rivotrich7 Popularity bred contempt for children. I was extending an olive branch. Even if you still wear corduroy in this day and age.

    r.... ....

    Daniel Katzenjammer Thanks man

    r.... ....

    Otherwise known as the early '80s.

  17. j.... ....

    Styx is the greatest American rock band, and they only caught a bad rep because most critics are cynical assholes.

  18. C.... R....

    Shaw is a great singer if you agree with me give me a hoot y'all have a great evening and by all means God bless the 80s

  19. D.... H....

    This video is funny AF...

    Has anyone else noticed the song "reach out" from Cheap Trick that was released in August 1981 for the movie "Heavy Metal" has a lot of the same riffs and guitar playing as this song which was released in February 1981? Plagiarism? Does the guys of Styx know?

  64. M.... ....

    This song is timeless

    that's because all the time is on my hands.

  65. P.... 7....

  69. J.... C....

    A few years ago my grandfather passed away and I would listen to Styx and other great bands with him in the workshop. After he passed away I got most of his cds and his CD player and I would listen to the Styx album he had and two years ago I saw Styx at a concert and it almost brought me to tears because I couldn’t stop thinking about him the whole time they were playing.
