Siren - Eddi Reader

Another night in paradise

Valentino’s gone back to his day job

He looks so helpless in his stolen 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

Ligea, Parthenope, Leucosia

Ligea, Parthenope, Leucosia

Ligea, Parthenope, Leucosia

Ligea, Parthenope, Leucosia

We play kiss, cuddle or torture

Clasp our hands to heaven love starts when

Jesus looked like David Essex in a nightdress

I nearly died in his dollar 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

Ooh, so all is fair when life gets hairy

Ah, whatever works as you wend your way

But if your man in the moon’s not listening

Just go dancing with the Lorelei

Ligea, Parthenope, Leucosia

Ligea, Parthenope, Leucosia

Ligea, Parthenope, Leucosia

Ligea, Parthenope, Leucosia
