(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, Lifeв's like a jig-saw, You get the straight bits, But thereв's something missing in the middle. All of a sudden, We find the cupboardв's bare. All of a sudden, We find heavenв's not there. All of a sudden, We find the sunв's gone cold. All of a sudden We find weв're more than old. All of a sudden, We find that weв've lost love, So please donв't push or shove because, Itв's too late, Itв's too late, In all your hurry youв've accidentally locked the gate What can we do? Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless. Itв's up to you start holding hands, And watch the balance redress, Lifeв's like a firework, Youв're only lit once, And you must stand and radiate correctly. All of a sudden, We find the cupboardв's bare. All of a sudden, We find heavenв's not there. All of a sudden, We find the sunв's gone cold. All of a sudden We find weв're more than old. All of a sudden, We find that weв've lost love, So please donв't push or shove because, Itв's too late, Itв's too late, In all your hurry youв've accidentally locked the gate Loveв's not a product you can hoard or pack a suitcase with, Itв's more a way you have to give. All of a sudden, We find the cupboardв's bare. All of a sudden, We find heavenв's not there. All of a sudden, We find the sunв's gone cold. All of a sudden We find weв're more than old. All of a sudden, We find that weв've lost love, So please donв't push or shove because, Itв's too late, Itв's too late, In all your hurry youв've accidentally locked the gate your hurry youв've accidentally locked the gate.
