Shivers - Peter Perrett, The One

Fingers scratching blackboards

Make cowards of the brave

A natural reaction

From the cradle to the grave

Rats and bats and spiders

And little things that crawl

Never make me tremble

I’m bothered not at all

Then I saw you

Something new inside of me

What’s this shakin'

You made me shiver

Cemetery midnights

Walking on the dead

Never seemed to matter

It’s all inside your head

Names are only letters

Mentioned on a stone

And If you’re going somewhere

You’re going it alone

Then I saw you

Something new inside of me

What’s this shakin'

You made me shiver

Magic charms and voodoo

And all those other spells

Didn’t make impressions

I never slept so well

If I had a nightmare

I’m sure that I would know

I really don’t remember

But I’m sure it isn’t so

Then I saw you

Something new inside of me

What’s this shakin'

You made me shiver

Turn out the lights it won’t matter

A bucket of blood and I’m fine

A black cat’s only a color

But you can do it every time
