Erasure - Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day) Lyrics
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
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
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

My absolute all-time favorite Erasure song, from my all-time favorite Erasure album. Not crazy about the single edit, but I suppose do what you gotta do to get on the radio - this peaked at #20 on the UK Chart and #10 on the US Dance/Club Chart.
One of my all time favourite Erasure songs, love it 😍 😍.. Loved Erasure since 1985, always will 💗💗
Andy, Vince, thank you guys...
This is song is perfect. I can listen to it over and over. The album its from is intact my one of my favorites. It's completely underrated and didn't get the airplay deserved.
My favourite erasure song, fantastic voice!
Love erasure a long time love Andy bell he's got a beautiful voice
Erasure music saved my life litteratly
Me, too! I’m 47. I do love erasure ! (*≧з≦)🌼😍
It saved mine too,dear.They brought so much emotion and beauty in my life when everything else was falling apart..I'll be listening to these two magicians till the day I die.❤😊👍👌👏👏
Hugs.. Be safe
What a brilliant album "Erasure" is. Perhaps their most underrated. They took a huge risk and it paid off.
Erasure' s "Erasure" is gem that shines in every facet, but nope - most underrated album is "Love boat". Don't know why it is because Freedom, Mad As We Are, Alien, Catch 22, Moon&Sky is simply amazing imho.
It was good enough for Madonna to steal all of the ideas and even some of the riffs for Ray of Light. What a cunt she is.
I loved the extended tracks. When they would break into instrumentals. Then Andy would come back with the vocals for the climax of the track. Brilliant!
Andy is the best.
O que está acontecendo nesse vídeo - mais especificamente no final, com aquelas pessoas transportando e jogando cinzas no mar?
Murilo Moura in english your comments please, not all of us understands portuguesse ;D
Awesome song.
fan desde quando nasci. Músicas lindas.
genios..😘
I'm 40 yrs old and still listen to erasure
I'm 18 and Erasure is my favourite band! :D
Damn! I'm 54 and thought i would be the oldest! Great song

I'm 52 👨🏼🦳
ven a chile!!
Patricia Vargas 3 de mayo
Great lyrics .... 2 thumbs up :)
it so hard to pick a good song from erasure they are all so great.
I can honestly say that this has got to be my favourite song by the band. I can listen to it hour after hour and never wanna smash the disc.
The best music!
You don't know what you got until it's gone... I learned that the hard way... God i learned that the hard way
love this. music saved my life. erasure saved my life!
The Best music..
luv this one. giving me life!! the version on Violet Flame is so fun and one of Andy's best.
I love erasure sm its funny most other ppl my age (16) have NEVER heard of them. I cry for them. ;)
Reed Wylie-Chaney I feel your pain bro
Reed Wylie-Chaney oh me too!!! i'm 16 years old!!
Reed Wylie-Chaney i love erasure so much♡♡♡
haha im in this video!!!! was chosen from alot of fans who wanted to be extras.great experience but bloody cold and boring at times sat in trailers.although they put on a buffet bbq lol. but highlight meeting them both
Chris Pavel !! lucky man!!! Andy someday I'm going to meet you someday #mybeautifulblueyes
Do they get you on screen? When are you?
MY FRIEND MARK IS IN THIS VIDEO TOO
@PhoenixHealing in throughout vid but that's closeup lol
Beautiful music ❤❤❤
Best group ever we love you Andy and vince Xxx
Andy is very cute in this video - too bad I ain't his type:( So sad.!
I know right i feel that 2 haha..I was born too late..besides men that are sexy don't like me usually unfortunately..in my dreams they do but that is not real
Yep. Very cute. My crush when I was teen. I could change my sex cause of him!
Andy is so beautiful.
yea if your gay :)
I agree
Guillermo Rodriguez i bet you wish to have at least a little bit of his beauty, talent charisma, and humble as human being, because wowwww this dollface blue deep eyes is so good looking!!! wooowww!! And also he was born with his beauty inside and outside of him, and the gay thing if he wants to leave to be a gay, but with an ogly person (in body and soul) although if he will to wish to born again
I think so to doesn't bother me gay or straight.
Top notch, should have been a single
+Ian Welly jones It was a single.
Yes I looked it up, I thought I had all their singles but obviously I don't.Can't understand how I missed it.
So agreed with you. The album "Erasure" is .... I do not know how to express it... Maybe ...Erasure in the purest form ever. My favorite song is fingers and thumbs for ever... and I was in love with them when oh l amour was on the radio,,, And then.... they made Stay with me.... sublime... and I do not want to talk about "how many times" or "Im I right" or "Piano song". Will love Erasure till the last day of my life... Hehehe sounded kind of Drama, well it is true.
SENSACIONAL ERASURE LINDISSIMA MUSICA
mi favorita de erasure y una de mis favoritas de todos los tiempos!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Una de las mejores canciones de Erasure
This song is perfect! love Erasure.
I agree
Yes, yes, and some muchs yes infinite
Musica maravilhosa, uma das minhas preferidas.
Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
A hint of the scents 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
Nothing 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 & 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, 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, fret amongst the flowers
On a cold summer's day, on a cold summer's day
Fret amongst the flowers
I never said that, I never said that
The word that counts
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 gone
Said it wouldn't last
Was too much to ask
Hearts made of glass
The love that saved the day
See it go away
Like a shattered heart
A shattered heart in love's debris

Isn't the lyric a shattered heart that loves to breathe
I love Erasure from Reunion from Wonderland to Hideaway, Little respect, Stop, Piano song, Miracle, Tenderest moments, Supernature, God rest ya, Over the rainbow and the list goes on and on but Fingers and thumbs is the best (for me no controversy please...) ever but just the Erasure album original remix the 7 mins song. Where does this guys get their ideas? Vince and Andy they rule...
@Evelio Rodriguez I love Erasure too. I stopped listening to them though after Chorus. But then picked up the remix album not long ago and LOVED this song. It's still not my favorite though. I'd say my favorites are Star And Little Respect.
It is difficult to choose , like for example, STOP... Classics, we love them. If u stop listening after Chorus is ok!! I invite u to experience I say I say I say. It is a beautiful piece of art. Thanks for share ur thoughts with me.
old favorite.
MAGICS SOUNDS *_*
great song and music-clip
I love this song.
