Lyric discussion by austere 

Cover art for Swimmers lyrics by Broken Social Scene

I feel awfully crass to be the one to suggest this, but given their history of explicitly mentioning sexual acts, I think this song might be a double entendre dealing with the singer receiving head. I know, I know, crass!, but the frequent phrasing "going down", "down there", and the phrase "why can't you satisfy me?" all are too pointedly suggestive, in my opinion, especially when combined with the decidedly sexy tone Amy Millan sings it all in. I don't usually have a dirty mind, but I can't see a more clear intent of meaning, here.

Think about a guy with a swimming cap (like the ones racers wear), kind of phallic. Maybe it's a stretch but it does make sense! This might be my favorite BSS song (not because of the possibility of innuendo).
