Fingers & Thumbs (cold Summer's Day) Lyrics - The Violet Flame - Erasure

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

The 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 

Once when my hands were full 

We were double or quits then some 

Nothin' 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 '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 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 happening to me 

A dumb mistake too much to pay 

A shattered heart in love's debris 

Here I do walk 

Fast amounst the flowers 

On a cold summer's day 

On a cold summer's day 

Fast amounst the flowers 

On a cold summer's day 

I never said that it 

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 

Said it wouldn't last 

Much too much to ask 

Your heart is made of glass 

Love will save the day 

See it blow 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
