Biography:
XTC were a rock band from Swindon, England led by Andy Partridge (guitars, vocals) and Colin Moulding (bass, vocals). Active between the late 1970s and the mid 2000s, XTC's music ranged from jerky new wave/punk riffs to lushly-arranged progressive pop. They also drew heavily from vintage pop rock and psychedelia from the 1960s, genres which they began to explore more deeply after creating The Dukes of Stratosphear side-project. While XTC failed to maintain significant commercial success after the 1980s

From 1982 English Settlement
[Intro]
G/ F#/
D A x4
[Verse 1]
D A
What can i say?
D A F Dm
Why do we starve a thing thats near extinction?
D A
From day to day
D A F
These weeds of fear Are choking our conviction
Em
Life's like a jig-saw
Bb
You get the straight bits
Dm G
But there's something missing in the middle
[Chorus]
D A
All Of A Sudden We find the cupboard's bare
D A
All of a sudden We find heaven's not there
D A
All of a sudden We find the sun's gone cold
D A
All of a sudden We find we're more than old
C Gm
All of a sudden We find that we've lost love
C Am Gm
So please don't push or shove because
A
It's too late It's too late
G F#
In all your hurry you've accidentally locked the gate
[Verse 2]
D A
What can we do?
D A F
Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless
D A
It's up to you
D A F Dm
start holding hands And watch the balance redress
Em
Life's like a firework
Bb
You're only lit once
Dm G
And you must stand and radiate correctly
[Chorus]
