(Andy Partridge)

What can I say?
Why do we starve a thing that's 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
