"Too Much or Nothing" comes off Hand to Mouth, the second album from the English new wave band General Public, which I.R.S. Records put out on 6 October 1986. Dave Wakeling wrote it by himself, words and music.

The record around it had a hard time of it. It crawled no higher than number 83 on the Billboard 200, and Trouser Press judged that the music went down easily enough but left little trace once it was gone.
