Eddi Reader Siren Lyrics

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
