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
