Shivers 05:03
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 keep a poker face so well That even mother couldn't tell That 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 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 That my baby's so vain She is almost a mirror And the sound of her name Sends a perennial shiver down my Spiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiiii-yi-yiyiyi-ine

about

Following her critically acclaimed album, PRE PLEASURE, Melbourne’s Julia Jacklin has returned with a beautiful cover of the cult classic song, “Shivers.” Written by Rowland S. Howard and originally released by Howard and Nick Cave’s early band The Boys Next Door, Jacklin’s version of the tune accompanies the release of a new book about legendary Australian producer Tony Cohen (Half Deaf, Completely Mad) as well as a new compilation featuring songs that were originally recorded by Cohen.

Other Australian artists featured on the compilation include Leah Senior, RVG, Grace Cummings, and CIVIC and has been put together by the book’s writer, John Olson.

Co-produced by Jacklin and 4x ARIA Award winner Wayne Connolly, “Shivers” holds a special place in Jacklin’s heart, as it was one of the first songs she ever covered at an open mic night during the start of her career.
