New Order - Waiting For The Sirens' Call Lyrics






What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea
Waiting for the sirens call
I've never seen it here before

There she ?? the lonely trail
Getting through the breaking winds
Drifting slowly from the coast
She is lost forever more

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

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

Gotta catch the midnight train
First to Paris then to Spain
Travel with a document
All across the continent

City life is flying by
The wheels are turning all around
Get on board we can't be late
Our destination cannot wait

All the stars and all the worlds
Filling up this universe
Can never be as close as us
We never shine as bright or??

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the wrong one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

How many times must I lose my way, hey
How many words do I have to say, hey
What can I do just to make you see
That you're so good for a man like
A man like me

New Order Waiting For The Sirens' Call Comments
  1. G.... M....

    I love this song

  2. M.... C....

    Running above Port Talbot in Wales.

  3. N.... V....

    Una de las canciones más mágicas de New Order

  4. N.... S....

    Every once in a while, if you’re lucky, you’ll hear a song that makes you happy and sad at the same time 🖤

  5. C.... R....

    ...myth·​o·​log·​i·​cal \ ˌmi-thə-ˈlä-ji-kəl song!...

  6. I.... m....

    I can appreciate the quality of this track melodically but for me they never matched Technique

    I.... m....

    Technique was peak NO.. not bad to be banging out records like this 16 years later..

  7. T.... P....

    Where was this Promo filmed? anyone know.

    T.... P....

    various locations in South Wales including the village of Fochriw and Port Talbot

  8. d.... ....

    love this song, hallelujah!

  9. M.... M....

    Great song, considering bernard and Peter were once again having a disagreement,.!

  10. R.... H....

    Very close to being my favorite NO song,its such a beautiful melody,and reminds me of the song "Vietnam"which they covered a few years earlier.lts Barneys favourite off the album,so it bugs me why they try and play one of the remixed versions live - go back to the original - you cant beat perfection.

  11. S.... F....

    This is lovely!

  12. I.... R....

    And I don't know where to turn when you're gone

  13. �.... �....

    Могу сказать одно этот трек и видеоряд к нему очень крутые))

  14. D.... U....

    LOVE THIS SONG. XXXXXXX

  15. R.... V....

    One of Bernard's favourites and a song about death, if anybody is curious.

  16. x.... T....

    En México una banda los plagio, se llama Zoe y me avergüenzo mucho de mi país. Perdonenos N.O.

    x.... T....

    Tony Toscano jajaajajjajajhajajsjsjsjajajajajkajajaaajaaaaaaa

    x.... T....

    zoe viajaron al pasado para sacarla en el 2005

    x.... T....

    No soy el único que se dio cuenta

    x.... T....

    otros les llaman influencias, si el rock en latinoamerica esta lleno de plagios, no no hagamos pendejos desde copia stereo hasta jim bunbury. Ademas los ingleses tambien son expertos en el plagio ve a led plagiarism o los beatles

  17. s.... b....

    personal anthem since 2005. encourage me for climbing mountains

  18. M.... G....

    Sad story ..

  19. s.... ....

    Why is Working Overtime unavaivable everywhere on the internet?

  20. E.... ....

    Had this on repeat on my ipod from Ko lipe to Phuket with tiger line.....

  21. P.... ....

    Well I've been on a New Order binge recently (incl the reading of Peter Hook's Substance book) and I'm pleased to say that this is probably my favorite N O song ever, and god knows I love so many.
    A quietly soulful, melancholic, perfection.

    P.... ....

    Yeah i am on a similar binge. I might have to try and get the Book u speak about.

  22. I.... ....

    One of the most beautiful songs I ever heard... <3

  23. B.... M....

    Excelente vídeo.

  24. k.... E....

  25. J.... S....

    Incredibly underrated song

  26. M.... D....

    MY FRIEND STEPHEN; WHO I KNEW AND IINTERVIEWED FOR MY COLLEGE RADIO STATION IN LATE 1996 IN NYC; ACTUALLY WRITES MANY OF H.O'S LYRICS; A WONDERFULLY LOVELY MAN; AS WERE HOOKY AND BERNARD TO ME AND MY FRIENDS WHEN WE MET THEM IN THE "GREEN" ROOM AT THE ROXY, NYC

    M.... D....

    I think your caps lock is stuck.

  27. M.... D....

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS ALBUM TOOK 3 YEARS TO COMPLETE; BERNARD AND HOOKY WERE AT EACH OTHERS THROATS! JUST LIKE WHEN THEY RECORDED "REPUBLIC"; WHAT A SHAME; THEY HAVE MADE SOME OF THE GREATEST MUSIC TOGETHER

    M.... D....

    UPPER CASE

  28. t.... i....

    the best song ever

  29. t.... ....

    Death cab or new order?

  30. R.... E....

    +1 Lisa Brown for sharing this. Were the street scenes shot there too? Or just the hillside shots?

    L.... B....

    Beautiful video regardless

    L.... B....

  45. S.... C....

    The ending reminds me a lot to 400 Coups -actually the whole subtext. New Order is just great.

    S.... C....

    +Sadrac Chinchilla the whole video does, with the kids running after stealing, the one getting caught, etc. totally thought it was an homage.

    The english version of "The 400 blows".

    With a stranger on the shore

  50. K.... H....

    I´m a New Order huge fan and I like the song but dunno it´s powerless :/ hope they will do good stuff again with mute records now.
