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!!
