Shivers - The Witches, Nick Cave

I’ve been contemplating suicide

But it really doesn’t suit my style

So I think I’ll just act bored instead

Who can tame the blood I would’ve she’d

She makes me feel so at ease

My heart is really on it’s knees

But I keep a poker face so well

That even mother couldn’t tell

But my baby’s so vain

She is almost a mirror

And the sound of her name

Sends a permanent shiver down my spine

I keep her photograph against my heart

For in my life she plays a starring part

All alcohol and cigarettes

There is no room for cheap regret

She makes me feel so at ease

My heart is really on it’s knees

But I keep a poker face so well

That even mother couldn’t tell

But my baby’s so vain

She is almost a mirror

And the sound of her name

Sends a permanent shiver

Down my spine

Down my spine

Spine

Spine
