Siren song

To All People I Love

Civic "time keepers" are not unusual and some are quite famous; Big Ben comes to mind, Times Square of course.  Smaller towns may have a clocktower, or the local church may have chimes that ring at certain times of the day.  For St. Francis, Kansas, it was the civil defense siren.  It would sound three times a day; at 7:00 AM, 12:00 noon, and 6:00 PM, and take the day off on Sunday unless there was an emergency.  
Like the "Walkin' Boys", the St. Francis siren was integral to the character of the town and I felt it, too, needed a song;)  I decided to write the song as if the siren were telling its story.  And you're in luck, you even get to hear the actual siren and the dogs barking in chorus to help it sing its song.  Harvested from a forty year-old cassette tape, you'll hear a little hiss, but is quickly forgotten:)
Lyrics beginning with the chorus:

At 7:00 AM I herald the morning,
At 12:00 O'clock noon, I'm the dinner bell,
At 6:00 PM it's time to close up and go home,
And the in-between quiet means that all is well.
Verse 1:
You can hear me all over town,
And the valley for miles around,
I'm the St. Francis siren and I'm loud and clear,
I'm heard six days a week throughout the year.
It depends upon where you are,
In town or out on the farm,
Like an air-raid whistle, I can give you chills,
Or break the silence of the nearby hills.

Chorus: At 7:00 AM I herald the morning...

Verse 2:
But there are moments when I break my routine,
To signal danger often unseen,
From a raging fire, or when it starts to storming,
I bellow out a loud and persistent warning.
But still I get my day of rest,
I like Sundays I must confess,
And unless it's urgent I won't blow away,
I'll save my breath for the following day.

Chorus: At 7:00 AM I herald the morning...
End:
I'm the St. Francis Siren (repeat)

The Sky Has Gone Out by LucyScrew

I wore the siouxsie shirt
Without realising what it was
The coolest girl in school
Came over to ask what songs I liked 

And I felt like dirt
When I had to admit I hadn't a clue
About the band
I'd just bought the T shirt totally random

And the smile drained from her beautiful face
And her mohawk sagged as I embraced
The embarrassment 
Of it all

But later in life
I got a wife
Who wears siouxsie all the time
And she knows her 
Hong Kong Garden
From her spellbound and happy house
