Siren Songtext
von Eddi Reader

Another night in paradise
Valentino′s gone back to his day job
He looks so helpless in his store and suit
Another woman waits in heartbreak drive

Siren, come comfort me
Come comfort me

Poets weep at his precious words
I can't count the hearts broken on his tragic hips
Who am I to deserve perfection?
I nearly fainted when he licked his lips

Sirens, come comfort me
Come comfort me

Ligeia, Parthenope, Leucosia
Ligeia, Parthenope, Leucosia
Ligeia, Parthenope, Leucosia
Ligeia, Parthenope, Leucosia


We play kiss, cuddle or torture
Clasp our hands to heaven, love starts when
And Jesus looked like David Essex in a nightdress
I nearly died in his dark green eyes

Siren, come comfort me
You sing so soft and mother-sweet
Come comfort me
Comfort this sailor′s heart
When life's too wonderful to bear
Come comfort me
Come comfort me

So all is fair in life, you see
Whatever works as you and your way
And if you're mad and the moon′s not listening
Just go dancing with the Lorelei

Ligeia, Parthenope, Leucosia
Ligeia, Parthenope, Leucosia
Ligeia, Parthenope, Leucosia
Ligeia, Parthenope, Leucosia
