lyrics

too little
too soon
you make the message
you name the tune
but I was too quick to swear
like a schoolboy on a dare
really I knew nothing at all

too much
too late
you sing for supper
then you smash the plates
leave a bucket for the storm
trust a hilltop for the dawn
clearly I know nothing at all

but we got oceans and oceans to go
didn't take it but we got it
it's a funny thing to know
but you make time to try
try to live before you die
and so I'm digging for my little stash
of fool's gold
fool's gold

too little
too soon
but you can change a name
yeah you can phase the moon
cause I was too quick to share
just a bit too young to care
really I knew nothing at all

too much
too late
so free of love
so free of hate
like a dancer in the rain
a shot of morphine for the pain
clearly I know nothing at all

but we got oceans and oceans to go
didn't earn it but we got it
it’s an awful thing to know
while the good ones try
and those that never live still die
I’ll be here digging for my little stash
of fool's gold
fool's gold
