Listen To The Sirens Lyrics

	"flow my tears"		   the new police song
	 the slogan of peace is		"you must live"
	 they've got me		   and i'm one of them

	 cancel: "silence"	they screamed for days
	"we've been here before		 we won't stay"
	 they can die		they can just turn off

	    some vehicle moves in circles
	    some people need the heroes
	    but i don't mind
	    i don't mind

			please listen to the sirens
		   we don't wish to be your friends
			please listen to the sirens
			   we won't ever call again

	 Mister Webb		   there is no way out
	 love this room  please don't fight your walls
	 can you see		 i'm wasting your time

	    a streetcar's rusting unseen
	    music hall's empty like me
	    but i don't care
	    i don't care

			please listen to the sirens
		   we don't wish to be your friends
			please listen to the sirens
			   we won't ever call again

	 if i could stay here for now
	 with someone just a bit like you
					    "oh, no"
	 maybe i would dream again
	 of someone just a bit like you
					 "s'pose so"

	 station boys        keep their hands on steel
	 tubeway days		 now seem quite unreal
 	 it's always so close but  never quite arrives

	 my vision's like an old film	   	 shaky
	 there's nothing through my window	  okay
	 no photo by my bedside		   black/white
	 no image in my mirror		       bye bye
