Fingers & 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
