A L L O F A S U D D E N ( I T ' S T O O L A T E ) Lyrics

 W  W  W   hat  can  I  say?   why  do  we  starve  a  thing  that  near
W w W w W  extinction?     from  day  to  day     these  weeds  of  fear
W   W   W  are  choking  our  conviction       life's  like  a   jig-saw
 WWW WWW   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.
