Isle Of The Sirens - The Impressions

There’s a story of beautiful women

On an Island in the sea

Who call to men sailing by

Though we stayed on our course

I could hear them calling me

And Lord I can’t stand

That beautiful cry

Keep course, cried the Captain

Ignore them, let them be

Straight ahead, cried the Captain

Sail on by and stay free

Remember laws of mutiny

And as we moved

The voices got louder

They sing beautiful things in my ear

I must go to this island of women

I must see these creatures I hear

Love is blind and desire has no fear

Keep course, cried the Captain

Straight ahead you stubborn man

We’re all lonely cried the Captain

Take heed from an old old man

For you don’t understand

Old man, your information

Makes no sense to me

For you know nothing

Of temptation

And desires I have in me

And off I leaped into the sea

Keep course, cried the Captain

Keep course, cried the Captain

Keep course

Keep course…
