Shivers

I've been contemplating suicide But it really doesn't suit my style So I think I'll just act bored instead And contain the blood I would've shed She makes me feel so ill at ease My heart is really on it's knees But I'll 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 I keep her photograph against my heart For in my life she plays a starring part Oh, alcohol and cigarettes There is no room for cheap regrets She makes me feel so ill at ease My heart is really on it's knees And 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 Down my spine Down my spine
