Shivers (Howard) — текст песни (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds)

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

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
