This song is about surfing. Notice the first letter of each line for the meaning:
(S)he's my fave
(U)ndressing in the sun
(R)eturn to sea
(F)orgetting everyone
(E)leven high
(R)ide the wave
The Pixies aren't known for surf music, but it's something they enjoyed. Frontman Frank Black explained: "I think some of our stuff sounds kinda surfy sometimes. The sound is really basic and totally involves chord progressions and a cute little riff."
Black Francis, interview with Q, 1990:
“That’s a five-line verse poem, but it’s an anagram: the first line of each verse spells “SUR-FER”. She’s, like, this naked surfer girl on a board on top of an 11 -foot wave, y'know cruising in never-never land. Never-never ocean.“
