All Of A Sudden (It's Too Late) - XTC

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
