Erasure – Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer’s Day)
Don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s goneA hint of the scent then it’s goneLook at the state of you, you’re all fingers and thumbsSo who’s your latest flameDrivin’ ‘em wild in the fast laneWon’t say I told you so, but the boy has no shameOnce when my hands were fullWe were double or quits then someNothin’ at all to show for a love so preciousGone and blown it all, how can you say«It doesn’t matter much to me?»A dumb mistake too much to payA shattered heart in love’s debrisGone and blown it all and then you say«This isn’t happening to me»A dumb mistake too much to payA shattered heart in love’s debrisDon’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s goneThe thrill of the chase then it’s goneOnly the hurt to prove that it ever went onAnd life is a wonderful thingWhen you’re humming the words to a love songDo what you want to do be who you want to beWhen I’m in your arms I’m strongThere’s nowhere I’d rather beWe shine for liberty, life and the pursuit of pleasureGone and blown it all, how can you say«It doesn’t matter much to me?»A dumb mistake too much to payA shattered heart in love’s debrisGone and blown it all and then you say«This isn’t happening to me»A dumb mistake too much to payA shattered heart in love’s debrisAnd how the days have flown too few and fastThey said it wasn’t meant to lastA dumb mistake too much to payA shattered heart in love’s debris
