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 face is like an old film, shaky
There's nothing through my window, oh my
No photo by my bedside, black/white
No image in my mirror, bye bye
The slogan of peace is "you must live"
They've got me and I'm one of them
"We've been here before, we won't stay"
They can die, they can just turn off
Some people need the heroes
But I don't mind
I don't mind
We don't wish to be your friends
Please listen to the sirens
We won't ever call again
Love this room, please don't fight your walls
Can you see I'm wasting your time
Music hall's empty like me
But I don't care
I don't care
We don't wish to be your friends
Please listen to the sirens
We won't ever call again
With someone just a bit like you
"Oh, no"
Maybe I would dream again
Of someone just a bit like you
"S'pose so"
Tubeway days now seem quite unreal
It's always so close but never quite arrives
There's nothing through my window, oh my
No photo by my bedside, black/white
No image in my mirror, bye bye

The first line, '"Flow my tears" the new police song' echoes the title of the Phillip K. Dick book "Flow My Tears the Policeman Said". Phillip K. Dick is known to be a direct inspiration for several Gary Numann songs, especially on the Replicas album. In a major coincidence, Ridley Scott would choose to call the androids in Blade Runner, which is an adaptation of a Phillip K. Dick book, "Replicants".
[Edit: typo in the title. ]
When he says 'Mr. Webb', Gary is actually referring to himself... Webb is his real surname.
