Waiting for the Sirens' Call Lyrics

Lyric discussion by cpatzner 

Cover art for Waiting for the Sirens' Call lyrics by New Order

What this song is about is apparent - a siren's call, or mermaid's call, was what called sailors to their deaths...sailors traveled the world. it's in reference to a groupie and the new sailors rock stars and it says it straight out in this verse - the rest is metaphor...

We all want some kind of love But sometimes it's not enough To the wall and through the door With a stranger on the shore
