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!! Involving and Evolving. | Reviewer: Tommy D | 5/25/09 I never realized this before, but I think this song is referring to Stella the Diver. The lines about the body glove and being above ground point to it in my opinion. The thing I love about Interpol is that I always notice new things in their songs... it never gets old but only gets better with each listen. Just exellent. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/8/08 this lyrics is really a mirrorimage of an relationship between me and this special girl. the song describes me perfect, and just blends in with this whole thing, it makes me burst in tears. Interpol is great, this one, say hello to the angels and obstackle 1 are current favourites (: brilliant | Reviewer: nadina | 7/3/08 i absolutely adore this song. i always get goose bumps when the second verse begins. i think the best lines are "time away from me will get you down", "i know what my heart is for", "i say girl you've got something i love how you wear it", "you're spelling out your love" and "you sing songs into my lips". i think they're all so packed with intense emotions. i think the line "i love the way you put me in the big house" is so agonizing and tormenting that whenever i listen to it i feel as if i'm being stabbed in the heart. i love this song, i listened to it on repeat for 6 hours straight when i was travelling by car to the seaside. i couldn't wait for the night to come so that i could burst into tears. brilliant, a masterpiece. Specialist | Reviewer: Lucy | 3/30/08 OK, i'll admit, i first heard this on the oc. then downloaded it, and appreicated it to its bare bones. Its bloody amazing. That dark voice and lyrics creepily hidden by loud riffs make this song perfect. Now i sound like some weird music (or art) critic or something. Awesome. 5 outta 5. This should win an award..... | Reviewer: Nicole Hylan | 11/20/07 Specialist has to have the best opening line of a song ever. Paul Banks sounds as surly as his lyrics - and you can only totally love or totally hate that voice! love is such an awful thing to lose... | Reviewer: savory | 11/9/07 Beautiful song that offer an emotional and mindful feel unlike others dull songs which are only about still the same chorus. My rating ***** of 5. Its like a story (in short) Specialist | Reviewer: Stanzie | 10/23/07 This song is seriously a work of art. My goodness, what a masterpeice. Totally unlike anything I've ever heard. Definatly one of my favorite songs...ever. These guys are killer. Specialist | Reviewer: ScottH | 9/13/07 What a song. Heard this particular track a while back and wasn't fortunate enough to hear 'Turn On the Bright Lights', until recently. The newer material aka OLTA, almost seem to drag me in. One of the bands around at the moment that has everything. Narc, NYC, The New and Mammoth are all highly recommended, as is the track above. Next album should put them up there with the big boys! God, what a sexy song. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/13/07 This song is absolutely brilliant. Possibly my favourite of Interpol's, though trying to pick a favourite is pretty impossible.
