Xtc - All Of A Sudden lyrics

(andy partridge) What can i say? Why do we starve a thing thats near extinction? From day to day These weeds of fear Are choking our conviction Life's like a jig-saw You get the straight bits But there's something missing in the middle All of a sudden We find the cupboard's bare All of a sudden We find heaven's not there All of a sudden We find the sun's gone cold All of a sudden We find we're more than old All of a sudden We find that we've lost love So please don't push or shove because It's too late It's too late In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate What can we do? Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless It's up to you start holding hands And watch the balance redress Life's like a firework You're only lit once And you must stand and radiate correctly All of a sudden

We find the cupboard's bare All of a sudden We find heaven's not there All of a sudden We find the sun's gone cold All of a sudden We find we're more than old All of a sudden We find that we've lost love So please don't push or shove because It's too late It's too late In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate Love's not a product you can hoard or pack a suitcase with It's more a way you have to give All of a sudden We find the cupboard's bare All of a sudden We find heaven's not there All of a sudden We find the sun's gone cold All of a sudden We find we're more than old All of a sudden We find that we've lost love So please don't push or shove because It's too late It's too late In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate
