Shallow End – Superchunk

Well, you’re barking out what you think
And you’re drinking your expensive drinks
You’re in your car and you’re on the phone
Think you better follow that cord back home

Is that a pearl I’m supposed to keep?
‘Cause you are putting me to sleep
Well, I know you think you’re deep, alright
But you should stay in your shallow end

Now you’re feeding me watery drinks
And I’m singing while your sunfish sinks
You got a ponytail dragging you down
Like the cloud that follows you around

Is that a call I’m supposed to keep?
‘Cause you are putting me to sleep
Well, I know you think you’re deep, alright
But you should stay in your shallow end

Incidental Music 1991–95

NOTE:
One of the first things I remember looking up on the internet was the name of this song. I’d heard it on the radio and recognized the voice, so I figured it was a Superchunk song. I believe I posted a message on an alt music site/message board, something like, “What song has the lyrics ‘I know you think you’re deep… You are putting me to sleep…'” Got a response and bought the CD.
