Song lyrics
Stella was a diver and she was always down  

When she walks down the street, 
She knows there's people watching.
The building fronts are just fronts 
To hide the people watching her

But she once fell through the street
Down a manhole in that bad way
The underground drip
Was just like her scuba days

Days
Daze
Days
Daze

She was all right because the sea was so airtight, she broke away (x2)
She is all right but she can't come out tonight, she broke away
She was all right, yeah the sea was so tight, air tight
She broke away, broke away

At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells
Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella I love you

Chorus

Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
She went down down down there into the sea,
Yeah she went down down down there, down there for me, right on

So good, oh yeah, right on

(There's something that's invisible, 
There's some things you can't hide,
Try detect you when I'm sleeping,
In a wave you say goodbye...)

Beautiful song...maybe not the strongest on the album, but definitely my favorite. I can listen to it over and over again!

This song has two different meanings, i love how mysterious Interol is, but my favorite lyrics out of this song are
"Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
She went down down down there into the sea,
Yeah she went down down down there, down there for me, right on"
Right On

I had the longest conversation with a guy behind the counter at Borders last spring about what a catatonic sex toy was because I had bought the issue of Spin with Interpol on the cover and we got into this great discussion about them. Really cool guy, we figured out that the girl must have multiple personalities and be great in bed.

This song just makes you shiver, the lyrics, like when he says 'I love you', so meaningful and deep.
and I've heard that Paul Banks wrote the song after the death of his ex girlfriend, tragic it is.
might not be true, tho.
