Sirens is a 1993 film, written and directed by John Duigan, and set in Australia between the two World Wars.
Sirens, along with Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bitter Moon—all released in the U.S. within weeks of each other—were the films that brought Hugh Grant to the attention of American audiences.
The film stars Grant as Tony, an Anglican priest newly arrived from England, asked to visit a notorious artist, loosely based on the Australian artist Norman Lindsay and played here by Sam Neill, out of the church's concern about a blasphemous painting the artist plans to exhibit.
Estella, the priest's wife (played by Tara Fitzgerald), accompanies him on the visit to the artist's bucolic compound in the Blue Mountains. The artist's saucy models are played by Elle Macpherson and Kate Fischer; Lindsay's wife, Rose (Pamela Rabe) also poses for him. Portia de Rossi (in her film debut) plays the maid who has just begun demurely modeling for him as well. Mark Gerber plays the partially blind Devlin, the "odd-job" man who also poses for Lindsay.
Smothered you suffocate,
Choke on me,
Confused you isolate all your intensions,
There's no vaccination...
Gardens that burn from fires,
Evacuate the Angels,
Who stand on funeral pyres,
To escape temptation,
Nothing has been consistent,
Not your life or your vision,
When two hearts burn as one,
Who is the victim?
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
These bars are getting to me,
This gray box so isolating,
I've paced in it everyday,
For too long it's been my sentance...
You're my siren
Entice my heart 'til it's yours,
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
Enjoy your time inside my mind and heart they're yours
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
You're my siren,
Entice my heart 'til it's yours
This is yours,
This is yours,
This is yours,
