Shivers


Face of miner, strains of Jerusalem
Communication of attitude in and out of rhyme
The purity of infancy's diffusion
These are the things that send shivers down my spine

Notes bent out of shape and shivering
Freedom riders, Little Rock Nine
The curvaceous rear view of women
These are the things that send shivers down my spine

Free like libertine, wild and dangerous love
The torch of liberty, Tommy Smith's black glove
When you confide in me
Just what you've been dreaming of

Fidel, just the mention of his name
Gives me shivers
He fought the good fight, that he triumphed just the same
Gives me shivers

That Santiago singers one hand sound
Gives me shivers
VC tunnels, whole nation living underground
Gives me, it gives me

Welcome the return of that shivery feeling
That feeling's the essence of human being, little girl

When your life has lost all meaning
And your so called friends don't have the time
Then a stranger gives you something to believe in
These are the things that send shivers down my spine
