Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Life Per Se
[Verse 1]
I have nothing against life per se
There is always the little stuff to stop the big stuff
Making you wanna shoot yourself in the head
When then do I see you in the smallest way
When you lay like a river across the bed

[Chorus]
What then to do?
What then to do?
I slide my little songs out from under you

[Verse 2]
And I have nothing against love per se
It's just the late night stars are pricking my eyes and making me see stars
When then do I see you in the smallest way
Oh when you come around here and sudden shiver smile
And up and gone again for far and wide

[Chorus]
What then to do?
What then to do?
I slide my little songs out from under you
