This song stands alone as the first class ship so to speak of Paul banks obsession with the sea and Ambiguity. you can really taste the barrio of investigation in the riff that starts to play a few bars after the bass line engulfs the song. My favorite line of lyrics is at the end when Paul sort of begins to mumble the lyrics: ("Honey bee, you should be through with this,
your packaged eyes, your vicious lips,
You could be young, but you're out of touch
If this love's been done, then what's your rush?") it mirrors the same tone he uses in the hidden lyrics to Stella was a diver where he says: ("She lies in nowhere, She lies in no place, She lies")

I would have to say that out of all the songs where Paul refers to the sea: "Take you on a cruise" "Public Pervert" "A time to be small" "Stella was a diver" "Specialist" takes the cake for Ambiguity! Interpol Stands Alone as my all time favorite band!!

  • What A Song.

  • great beat

  • @CherylDunnisFUN you mean a whore

  • the change of tune in 3.35 makes me shiver!! it's worth the whole song. beautiful.

  • @92screenager yeah gnr hasn't aged well at all....or all of hair metal.

  • "I'm a specialist in hope

    and I'm registered to vote

    Why don't you come into my barrio

    so we'll see if we can float"

    I can feel more passion in this song than in the whole Guns 'n' Roses' discography

  • Another note: the chorus of "Love will get you down" is clearly an allusion to "Love will tear us apart". Both amazing non-album tracks!

  • Guitar line at 3:20 is nearly identical to the guitar line on Stella was a diver and she was always down at 2:09

  • Definitely Banks at his most Ian Curtisian, as far as writing, not vocally. They are very similar, but both amazing, Ian Curtis should never be used as an insult to Paul Banks. And Daniel Kessler to Bernard Sumner, Carlos Dengler to Peter Hook; they compare favorably to both, at this point in their respective careers
