Life Per Se - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I have nothing against life per se

There is always the little stuff to stop the big stuff

Making you wanna shoot yourself in the head

When then do I see you in the smallest way

When you lay like a river across the bed

What then to do?

What then to do?

I slide my little songs out from under you

And I have nothing against love per se

It’s just the late night stars are pricking my eyes and making me see stars

When then do I see you in the smallest way

Oh when you come around here and sudden shiver smile

And up and gone again for far and wide

What then to do?

What then to do?

I slide my little songs out from under you
