XTC — All of a Sudden Its Too Late

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] Life's like a jig-saw You get the straight bits But there's something missing in the middle [Chorus] (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 Please don't push or shove because It's too late It's too late In all your hurry You accidentally locked the gate [Verse 2] What can we do? Trying to stem the flow of sand seems useless It's up to you Start holding hands, watch the balance redress [Pre-Chorus 2] Life's like a firework You're only lit once And you must stand and radiate correctly [Chorus] (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 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 [Bridge] Love's not a product you can hoard Or pack a suitcase with It's more a way you have to give [Pre-Chorus 1] Life's like a jig-saw You get the straight bits But there's plenty missing in the middle [Chorus] (All of a sudden) We find the cupboard 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 Please don't push or shove because (All of a sudden) We find the cupboard 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 It's... It's... In all your hurry You accidentally locked the gate
