about
Many submariners started their careers as miners, experience that trained them well to survive in cold, dark, confined conditions. Spacedog were particularly interested in this theme as the Angliss sisters’ own grandfather was a Welsh miner and submariner. He gave their grandmother a gold wedding band, mined from the mountains of South Wales. This love song combines the subterranean and submarine with quotations from Four Sea Interludes (Benjamin Britten) and a slight misquotation from Ariel’s song in The Tempest.
lyrics
Put your hand in coal black water
A gold band tightens on your finger
Gold from a submariner
Mined from the vein
Murtled, cold
of some other mountain.
Dive, dive
You were born fit for it
Dive, dive
I'll swim to the ocean bed for you
I'll lick the minerals from your skin
If you'll dive into this bed of mine.
Nothing breaks the surface
as I'm pulled towards your bough
and breathe your air
shipwrecked, lost,
in these un-navigable waters.
Dive, dive
Fall down into it
Dive, dive
I'll bring dust of black diamonds
sweat
and swordfish tails
If you'll lie upon this bed of mine.
Shut down the sonar
I'm your submariner
Dive, dive
Let's die upon this bed tonight.
A gold band tightens on your finger
Gold from a submariner
Mined from the vein
Murtled, cold
of some other mountain.
Dive, dive
You were born fit for it
Dive, dive
I'll swim to the ocean bed for you
I'll lick the minerals from your skin
If you'll dive into this bed of mine.
Nothing breaks the surface
as I'm pulled towards your bough
and breathe your air
shipwrecked, lost,
in these un-navigable waters.
Dive, dive
Fall down into it
Dive, dive
I'll bring dust of black diamonds
sweat
and swordfish tails
If you'll lie upon this bed of mine.
Shut down the sonar
I'm your submariner
Dive, dive
Let's die upon this bed tonight.
