Shiver Lyrics
I've been contemplating suicide,
But it really doesn't suit my style,
So i think i'll just act bored instead
Who can take (alt: and contain) the blood i would've shed
She makes me feel so ugly (alt: so weary) (alt: so ill 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 regrets
But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver down my
Spine
She makes me feel so ugly
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 perennial shiver down my
Spine
But it really doesn't suit my style,
So i think i'll just act bored instead
Who can take (alt: and contain) the blood i would've shed
My heart is really on it's knees
But i keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver down my
Spine
For in my life she plays a starring part
All alcohol and cigarettes
There is no room for cheap regrets
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver down my
Spine
My heart is really on it's knees
But i keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a perennial shiver down my
Spine

An almost literate lyric a tad above the average heartbreak dirge. Considering TBND soon became The Birthday Party it's hardly surprising. At heart, though, it's plainly just another obsessed, teen angst song.
