Deep Sea Diver Lyrics
I'm a deep sea diver with my fins
And underneath your current I do swim
A baker's dozen pertty pearls
And when I try them on my toes do curl
Cause you, you got everthing that I want
The car, the house, the dog
You got everything that I want
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
I'm a deep sea diver losing air
And around your laps I swim, but you don't care.
And underneath your current I do swim
A baker's dozen pertty pearls
And when I try them on my toes do curl
Cause you, you got everthing that I want
The car, the house, the dog
You got everything that I want
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
Just keep me a while
And around your laps I swim, but you don't care.

i know it's a minor nuance, but i believe he may say, "And around you laps I swim, but you don't care." Instead of "your". I could be wrong, but it makes more sense to me. It is a great video.
this is such a beautiful song. i didn't get it at first, but i put a bit of thought into it.
i think maybe this song is about giving someone you love everything they've ever wanted/needed and getting nothing in return. it's like he's trying to prove his love to someone by giving them material things, hoping that they'll love him back. but they don't even notice, or even care that he loves them.
"just keep me awhile, just keep it awhile" he knows this person's never going to love him back, but he keeps giving and giving, still hoping, and nearly begging them to care.. even if it's just for a small amount of time.
i'm not sure if what i said made sense, i understand it in my head but it's hard for me to put it in words.
either way, lovely lovely song.
I think it's about longing for someone that is more put-together than you. Maybe its just my interpretation but I think the "the car, the house, the dog" line is referring to someone who has things which represent stability and maturity. The narrator longs to be a part of that kind of stable, deep relationship, but the person has no interest in him.
I love this song. I'm not sure about all the lyrics so if there is something wrong with them please tell me so I can correct it.
This resembles Stella was a Diver by Interpol in more ways than one. The lyrics,sound, etc. Still goog in it's unique way though.
agree. the almost eerie sound definitely resembles Interpol

Uh, you may never read this as it was so long ago, but for anyone else, I do believe the line is "a baker's dozen, thirteen pearls" as a baker's dozen, is, in fact, thirteen of something. Thank you.
yeah, it is thirteen pearls
wow, it's weird that this song doesn't have many comments on it. This is one of those songs to sit and close your eyes to and just relax. I remember seeing them on The Dive once a while back, the video to this is very good as well.
ahha yeah it took me several times to figure out the first part of the song. i love how mysteriously hard it is to figure out the lyrics. just makes the song soo much better. i wish they had some songs from Yellow House on here! :-/ Someone needs to figure it out!
