Erasure • Lyrics
Fingers & Thumbs (Cold Summer's Day)
Don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
A hint of a 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?
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 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 can't be 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
High energy, your love is lifting me
Ooh yeah
High energy, your love is lifting me
Lifting me high
Ooh so high
It was only last week when we first met
And I was walking down the street
You came up from behind me and I knew
That our eyes were gonna meet
That's when I fell into your arms
Imagine my surprise
I thought this only happened in fairy-tales
Love hit me right between the eyes
Oh high energy, your love is lifting me
Ooh yeah
High energy, your love is lifting me
Lifting me high
When you called me on the telephone
You made my spirits rise
I'm glad the others didn't last
It's a blessing in disguise
Every time you're touching me
It gives me such a thrill
And when I look deep into your eyes
My heart just can't keep still
Oh, no, no, no!
High energy, your love is lifting me
Ooh, yeah
High energy, your love is lifting me
Lifting me high
All the gold that's in Fort Knox
Couldn't buy this happiness
And with your love, I don't need money
I don't need success
And I became a victim of a certain love attack
It happened in the blink of an eye
And there's no holding back
No, no ,no ,no!
High energy, your love is lifting me
High energy, your love is lifting me
High energy, your love is lifting me
High energy, your love is lifting me
Lifting me high
