Lyrics:
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
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
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 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

[@mattlkc]

beautifull song, still loving it in 2023

[@kamikazechipmunk]

"A shattered heart in love's debris" is still one of my all time favourite lines in any song.

[@graffitiwomen]

I don't know how I never noticed that, thank you! Ps - I always thought it was 'a shattered heart longs to breathe.' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@peternicklin2693]

You don't know what you got till its gone. So very true.

[@valgehiir]

Gone. Blown it all.

[@CincinnatiRon]

Andy Bell has had a serious influence on my life

[@ceejay4991]

In my opinion Erasure are at the top for music production > Vince and singing > Andy. No one has even come close. I still think Erasure beat Michael Jackson, George Micheal, Queen, Elvis.. Erasure made every single song unique and different, each song had a meaning, Vince is a mastermind, they not only conqured electronic music, but I believe they are the best the world has produced by quite some distance!

[@przemobenassi4929]

Święte słowa, erasure w moim sercu na zawsze❤!

[@EM.1.]

A highly underrated song! You wont get this type of music today.

1995

Yes Absolutely

That is right!

It was '93 for me.

[@ianfielding6840]

I absolutely love them don't care what anyone says or thinks seen them in concert countless times have everything they have done fucking adore them

[@larrychatfield]

the best concert i ever saw saw andy bell start in a bright summer yellow hoop skirt dress and disrobe until he was in a corset by the end of the event. was just so amazing

[@davepunk75]

Absolutely agree with you!!😎✌️🎶

[@32ModB]

❤

[@cazolinesmith]

This track is still amazing 🤩

[@neilburns8869]

Vince Clarke is an electronic genius when it comes to making this type of music. Andy & Vince make for a very good combination, wish they were still making music together.

[@vanessatauferner8690]

Erasure.... Reni and Vanni on concert 🥺💜

[@ade.p]

Definitely an Erasure classic! Fantastic synth and vocals. One of many of my favourite tracks from Erasure. Also a big fan from their their start in the 1980s. ❤

I love erasure,I love Andy Bell❤, Maringá Paraná Brasil

[@paulthornhill6529]

Been a fan since I first heard reunion in the mid 80s. Think I was about 18-19 . Now 55,still love Erasure.

[@jazzybee6832]

Wonderland album mate?my first album of theirs

[@Potionette81]

I just adore Andy Bell's voice, such crystal-clear tone and perfect pitch and diction. I'd love to see him play either Jean Valjean in 'Les Miserables' or the title role in 'Phantom of the Opera'.

[@mikegoutremout1876]

Try to catch his role in the House of Usher or his interpretations on Popstar to opera star (although that show was fixed)

[@edgardogregorini957]

Erasure is The favorite Synthpop band of God for humans

[@8778yeh]

I'm having an Erasure day!.. i mean, week. Ok..month...year, decade, ok everyday since the beginning. Have to listen to them most of the time. Amazing songwriters and performers. Thank you Andy and Vince.

[@bill-wd8er]

close your eyes oh lamour maybe 1986 love it

[@bicyclist2]

I remember buying this on CD back when it was new. I love this song, and this album. I've been a big fan since the early 80's. I used to blast this on my Sony boom box. Thank you.

[@tarotbyamber7233]

A great song and underrated

[@martin-mi3cg]

I reckon this song would've been massive if it had been released during their mainstream heyday.

[@madwiganer]

Yeah it's a shame really, brilliant track and a brilliant album..

[@sylviaroler1678]

Ich kann es nicht mit Worten sagen wie ich erasure Lieben tu diese Musik ist mein leben😘

[@mightytekk]

SOoooooooooooooo GOOD

[@SynthMusicWorld]

What a brilliant album "Erasure" is. Perhaps their most underrated. They took a huge risk and it paid off.

[@АлексейОрлов-в5ш]

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.

[@landscapes5720]

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.

[@skintrader100]

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!

[@alexcarlsen4996]

Great album, but I think that unfortunately it didn't pay off (not successful in the charts). But we love it anyway!

[@stevejamesofficiel]

@@landscapes5720 How can you say

[@leecopley7868]

The ultimate pop song by the greatest band there will ever be!!!

[@EthanBSide]

I always love Vince in drag playing "The Girl". Amazing song. Amazing duo.

[@eliska3879]

Erasure ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kornscott]

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.

[@davidlear7927]

Always thought this should have been the first single taken from the album.

[@mattpaine2558]

Classic. Really.

[@micimaca80]

The second hit in my heart ... 💘 (The first was the "Always")

[@jamiefoyers2800]

I love this track!. The full length version is just genius!. The whole "Erasure" cd is one of the best things they ever put out.

[@jasonhughes4193]

I love all Erasure songs...but this one I've been playing over and over all week! I'm 48 now and Erasure never gets old!

One of my all time favourite Erasure songs, love it 😍 😍.. Loved Erasure since 1985, always will 💗💗

[@bigsinger1981]

Best night of my life was going to an Erasure concert for my 30 th birthday surprise from Mum and wife. Erasure I have always been a fan well fair to my entire family love Erasure. I was that overwhelmed I cried when they started with Hideaway the first song of the night. They sang 20 odds song and if I had wrote a list of songs to sing they sang everyone. Was perfect night.

[@daveevans2812]

I was listening 🎶 to this on the Transit today it was perfect 👌 just what I needed 😁

[@Gambler77713]

I just heard this on the podcast 'Unflopped. It was suggested by a listener to be deserving of being 'Unflopped. I don't remember if I heard it on here b4 when I was listening to playlist of Erasure. When they played it I thought it was just okay. (They only play like a 30 second clip). Tonight I thought I'd check out the video. After a listen to the full song I quite like it.

[@azpaule6739]

I love love love this song.

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
