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