ERASURE LYRICS - Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)

"Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)"



You don't know what you've got till it's gone

A hint of the scent then it's gone

Look at the state of you

You're all fingers and thumbs



So who's your latest flame

Driving 'em wild in the fast lane

I won't say I told you so

But the boy has no shame (No shame)



Once when my hands were full

We were double or quits then some

Nothing at all to show for a love so precious



Gone and 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 and blown it all

And 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 till 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 want to 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 and the pursuit of pleasure



Gone and 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 and blown it all

And then you say

'This isn't be happening to me'

A dumb mistake

Too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris



(Here I do walk)

(Frost amongst the flowers)

(On a cold summers day)



(On a cold summers day)

(Frost amongst the flowers)

(On a cold summers day)

(I never said that)

(I never said that)

(It wouldn't work out)



Gone and 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



How the days have flown

Too few and fast

They said it wasn't meant to last

A dumb mistake

Too much to pay

A shattered heart in love's debris



(How the days have flown)

(They said it wouldn't last)

(Much too much to ask)

(Your heart is made of glass)

(Love will save the day)

(See you go away)

(Like a shattered heart)



A shattered heart in love's debris

Gone and 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
