Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil

Hear my voice beneath the sea Sleeping now so peacefully At the bottom of the sea Sleep for all eternity Sailors live so restlessly Come with me, sleep peacefully Listen to this siren's song Worry not for nothing's wrong Let my voice lead you this way I will not lead you astray Trust me as we reach the side Jumping out where men have died Hear my voice beneath the sea Sleeping now so peacefully At the bottom of the sea Sleep for all eternity Let the ocean fill your lungs Struggle not, soon peace will come Taking in your final breath Sink down to the ocean's depths "I wish I could always be In the ocean's arms, you see" He who'd wanted nothing more Sleeps now at the ocean floor Ocean was your lover's name You had loved her all the same Now you'll always be together Sirens are so very clever Hear my voice beneath the sea Sleeping now so peacefully At the bottom of the sea Sleep for all eternity

Drink from the leche of sirens Summon the sailors in town Strangle the fear of deciding Which one's deserving to drown Engraved in our memory the harm that was done Our mothers, the witches, they banished and burned All of our sisters were killed and abused By sword-swinging men who would always accuse The worst of a woman who fights for our right To be where we belong, at the front of the line Tired of silence and being polite Your legs turn to shimmering scales in the night Drink from the leche of sirens Summon the sailors in town Strangle the fear of deciding Which one's deserving to drown Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown Let them drown, let them drown Let them drown Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess They steal the resources, destroy all the land Belittle the power of the feminine hand The milk from the rivers of every moon Cradle you tight like you're back in the womb Bury their souls in a cove by the light Celestial dip all that ego and pride Drink from the leche of sirens Summon the sailors in town Strangle the fear of deciding Which one's deserving to drown Let them drown, let them drown Let them drown Nothing wrong with a little havoc It's fun when shit hits the fan So guillotine their heads by shouting "Cut 'em off," leave waters red Nothing wrong with a little havoc It's fun when shit hits the fan So guillotine their heads by shouting "Cut 'em off," leave waters red Drink from the leche of sirens (nothing wrong with a little havoc, it's fun when shit hits the fan) Summon the sailors in town (so guillotine their heads by shouting, "Cut 'em off," leave waters red) Strangle the fear of deciding (nothing wrong with a little havoc, it's fun when shit hits the fan) Which one's deserving to drown (so guillotine their heads by shouting, "Cut 'em off," leave waters red) Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown

Put your hands into the water Let your mouth go sick and dry Put your life into your death now Let them sing until you die Die, die, die, yeah Radical rather than rhetorical, babble like an oracle Why am I always in your debt? Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost Communist comatose show me all the wagers are a bet The middle of a nuclear winter is a modern achievement of the retro apocalyptic horde Satan? You must be mistaken, there are no more Satans Only the bosses on the board Forget, deny, ignore, nice try, it's you Regret, rely, remorse, inside of you, yeah Maybe you've been down too long Maybe you've been down too long The heart begins to suffer when the soul has given up And the flesh is barely more than bone When no one else is listening, only when you've had enough Time to sing this dying song alone Put your hands into the water Let your mouth go sick and dry Put your life into your death now Let them sing until you die Die, die, die, yeah Maybe you've been down too long Maybe you've been down too long Think hard, you bastards, you're gonna tell me why If I don't get an answer, you're gonna sing and die Think hard, you bastards, you're gonna tell me why If I don't get an answer, you're gonna sing and die The heart begins to suffer when the soul has given up And the flesh is barely more than bone When no one else is listening, only when you've had enough Time to sing this dying song alone Put your hands into the water Let your mouth go sick and dry Put your life into your death now Let them sing until you die Put your hands into the water Let your mouth go sick and dry Put your life into your death now Let them sing until you die

I can feel her breath as she's sleeping next to me Sharing pillows and cold feet She can feel my heart, fell asleep to its beat Under blankets and warm sheets If only I could be in that bed again If only it were me instead of him Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sing to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? 14 months and seven days ago Oh, I know you know how we felt about that night Just your skin against the window Oh, we took it slow and we both know It should have been me inside that car It should have been me instead of him in the dark Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite Parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sings to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? I know, Love (I'm a sucker for that feeling) Happens all the time, Love (I always end up feeling cheated) You're on my mind, Love (oh darling, lead her where that leaded) It happens all the time, Love, yeah Will he love you like I loved you? Will he tell you every day? Will he make you make you feel like You're invincible with every word he'll say? Can you promise me if this was right? Don't throw this all away Can you do all these things? Will you do all these things like we used to? Oh, like we used to

I still remember all the things you said Laying in my bed Eye to eye I'll carry thoughts you put inside my head 'Til the day I'm dead Why oh why? Do you ever think of me? After everything Give me something to hold on to I need just a little piece I'll take anything Give me something to hold on to I guess it's not the way things tend to go Not that I would know Goodbyes are slow I saw your picture on the silver screen Guess you don't miss me That's the way it seems Do you ever think of me? After everything Give me something to hold on to I need just a little piece I'll take anything Give me something to hold on to Something good, something real Something bad, something I can really, really, really feel Leave me black, leave me blue Just give me something I'll take anything from you Do you ever think of me? After everything Give me something to hold on to I need just a little piece I'll take anything Give me something to hold on to Something to hold on to Something to hold on to Something to hold on to
