See you walking and I know she’s my friend again
Just the weight of the water drags me down again
Guess I’ll think of the water its my friend, oh yeah
It’s just the way that the water makes me feel again
Son of Shiva, I saw him drown
Son of yellow, I saw him drown
It’s all I need yeah
See you walking and I know she’s my friend again
Just the weight of the water drags me down again
Guess I’ll think of the water its my friend, oh yeah
It’s just the way that the water makes me feel again
Son of Shiva, I saw him drown
Son of yellow, I saw him drown
It’s all I need yeah
See you walking and
I know she 's my friend
Again
Just the weight of the water
Drags me down
Again
Guess I'll think of the water
It's my friend
Oh yeah
It's just the way that the water
Makes me feel
Again
[Chorus:]
Son of Sheba I saw him drown
Son of yellow I saw him drown
It's all I need yeah
See you walking and
I know she's my friend
Again
Just the weight of the water
Drags me down
Again
Guess I'll think of the water
It is my friend
Oh yeah
It's just the way that the water
Makes me feel
Again
[Chorus:]
Son of Sheba I saw him drown
Son of yellow I saw him drown
It's all I need yeah
This song is like laying on a secluded grassy hill with a good friend, watching the the clouds and feeling absolutely at peace, except it's all a dream and you haven't done that in years.
The song talks about the demise of the capital city of Sheba, Ma'rib, that was suposdly destroyed when its dam burst, and might have caused the demise of other cities. "son of Sheba, I saw him drown"
I love MBV's Loveless, don't get me wrong. But why are MBV considered the Kings and Queens of shoegaze? If you ask me my favorite shoegaze band and album it would be Slowdive and Souvlaki
