Fingers And Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day) - Erasure

Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

A hint of the scent then it's gone

Look at the state of you, you're all fingers & thumbs

So who's your latest flame

Drivin' em wild in the fast lane

Won't say I told you so, but the boy has no shame

Once when my hands were full

We were double or quits then some

Nothin' at all to show for a love so precious

Gone & blown it all, how can you say

It doesn't matter much to me?

A dumb mistake too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris

Gone & blow it all & then you say

This can't be happening to me

A dumb mistake too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris

Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

The thrill of the chase then it's gone

Only the hurt to prove that it ever went on

And life is a wonderful thing

When you're humming the words to a love song

Do what you wanna do be who you want to be

When I'm in your arms I'm strong

There's nowhere I'd rather be

We shine for liberty, life & the pursuit of pleasure

Gone & blown it all, how can you say

It doesn't matter much to me?

A dumb mistake too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris

Gone & blown it all & then you say

This isn't happening to me

A dumb mistake too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris

And how the days have flown too few & fast

They said it wasn't meant to last

A dumb mistake too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris
