About Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)

"Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)" is a song by British synthpop duo Erasure. The track originally appeared on the soundtrack to the documentary film Wigstock: the Movie as the track titled "Cold Summer's Day." Erasure re-recorded the track for their album Erasure with new lyrics. It was released as the second single from the album by Mute Records in the UK and Elektra Records in the United States. The album version is over six minutes long; the single edit removes an extended instrumental section between the second and third choruses. The song was composed by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell and is an uptempo dance music track. The music video features Bell singing the song as he walks through an amusement park (the actual filming was done in the London Docklands[1]). Upon its release, the song became Erasure's twenty-second consecutive Top 20 hit in the UK singles chart. In Germany the song stopped at number sixty-nine. It was a hit on the U. S. dance charts, peaking at number ten on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in Billboard magazine. more »

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 and 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 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
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 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 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 and fast
They said it wasn't meant to last
A dumb mistake too much to pay
A shattered heart in love's debris
