You love the girl, you love the man

Who slipped away under the sign?

Open your eyes and you'll understand

Who broke your back, the gingerman

We are only learning to dive

You learnt it all when you were five

Holding your breaths to stay alive

Escape from the heat under the fan

Learning to love your Uncle Sam

We are only learning to dive

We are only learning to dive

You love the girl, you love the man

Who slipped away under the sign

Open your eyes I bet you'd understand

Who broke your back, the gingerman

The sign on the door deserved a hand

Holding your breaths to be a man

But down on the floor you'll realise

The caterpillar-crawls and butter-flies

Escape from the heat under the fire

Learning to love our Uncle Sam

We are only learning to dive

We are only learning to dive

Alison, the carousel

Broken hearts, another cell

Leaving here I'll understand

Foreign cars are in demand

Alison, the carousel

Broken hearts, another cell

Leaving here I'll understand

Foreign girls are in demand

Alison, the carousel

Broken hearts, another cell

Leaving here I'll understand

Foreign girls are in demand

Demand, in demand, demand

In demand, demand

In demand, demand

And we are only learning to dive

We are only learning to dive

We were barley learning to dive
