“With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls.”
Shipbuilding, written by Elvis Costello and Clive Langer
Song lyrics, Punch the Clock (1983)
Context: The boy said 'Dad they're going to take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas'

With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls.
“Next time I'll learn to dive maybe, but I'm not a woman.”
