DFA Records
DFA Records is an independent record label and production team, launched in September 2001 by Mo' Wax co-founder Tim Goldsworthy, musician James Murphy, and manager Jonathan Galkin.
History
James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy met while working in New York on the David Holmes album Let's Get Killed. After the recording was completed, Goldsworthy stayed in New York, and the two began to throw parties in the Lower East Side. They wished to start a record label, but it was not until they met Jonathan Galkin, who subsequently quit his event-production job to run the label that it took off.
DFA Records began on a series of 12" single vinyl releases starting with The Rapture's "House of Jealous Lovers" and The Juan Maclean's "By the Time I Get to Venus". "House of Jealous Lovers" went on to sell 7500 copies. Many of the early releases of DFA's catalog were released in Europe through Trevor Jackson's Output Recordings. After completing production on The Rapture's debut full-length album Echoes, DFA began to shop around the album. Although The Rapture eventually signed to Universal Music Group, the DFA label secured a deal with EMI for distribution of its acts outside the United States, along with several distributors within the U.S.

The Dive
by: Culture ClubWhen I wake up feelin' victimized
There was nothin' that can stop my eyes
From cryin', cryin'
Nobody likes to be alone
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery
I'm tryin', tryin'
Baby, I'm no superman
Baby, I'm no superman
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
When love is gone, I can't carry on
When you know that love is on my mind
When you know that love is on my mind
It's a perfect chance to be unkind
You do it, do it
Within the arms of misery
Being sly you take a chance on crime
But the master has a new design
On loving, living
Out and in the enemy
Out and in the enemy
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
When love is gone, I can't carry on
Eyes that open wide
Do you do
The love you give the child
Do you do
Why do you do that to me?
When I wake up feelin' victimized
There was nothin' that can stop my eyes
From cryin', cryin'
Nobody likes to be alone
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery
I'm tryin', tryin'
Baby, I'm no superman
Hey baby, I'm no superman
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, ooh dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, ooh dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Love that you give to me
Dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Is to dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
We're survivin', survivin'
