Bill Bailey - Sirens lyrics

Everything about European life suggests a much more laid-back lifestyle, even things like sirens. You know, here our sirens are very functional [British two-tone siren plays] It sort of says “Come-On Come-On Outthe-Way Outthe-Way. Whataremy-jobsworth.” [British two-tone siren plays, descending in note at the end] Which to me denotes disappointment [British two-tone siren plays, descending in note at the end] Interestingly, you never hear them go the other way do you? [British two-tone siren plays, ascending in note at the end] They never do that, do they? “Here he comes, look, oh there he goes up!” [British two-tone siren plays, ascending in note at the end] Because that would be defying the laws of physics, wouldn't it? That would be an ambulance attending an emergency in another dimension [British two-tone siren plays, ascending in note at the end at holding said note as sci-fi effects play] [Bailey speaks alien gibberish] Here, very functional [British two-tone siren plays] European sirens, lot more lyrical, aren't they? [Four-tone “European siren” plays] x2 It's like: “Yes, there is an accident, but let's enjoy the ride.” [Four-tone “European siren” plays] In fact the French ones are like this: [Snippet of French-sounding accordion music plays] That's just the bit you hear as it goes past, if you listen to it all down the street, it's like this: [Instrumental long-winded French-sounding accordion music plays] [Verse (Singing)] Attention! Nous sommes blessés! Nous avons un homme Il s'appelle Jean-Michel Sa jambe est ca**é Avec une jeune fille Elle s'appelle Gisèle (C'est si belle.) Ils ont montés dans un arbre Pour faire l'amour Il a adopté la position misionnaire (C'est populaire.) Il est tombé Sa jambe est ca**é Attention!
