Sirens
Jeff Lynne & Friends Lyrics

It seems like this summer it's never ending,
The summer feels like it is lasting too long.

Can you hear the hot wind blow,
The wind is hot and audible.

It comes at the same time,
The wind occurs at a consistent time every year.

Every year.
The weather pattern is consistent annually.

And we stay out half the night to hide,
People stay outside to avoid sleeping in their hot homes.

From sleeping in our homes,
Homes are too hot to sleep in.

Its the north wind.
The hot wind comes from the north.

Here come the sirens, hear them roar.
Sirens are approaching and can be heard loudly.

Once more.
The sirens have been heard before.

I lay back in the room with dark red curtains,
The artist is resting in a room with red curtains.

Wake up to the trucks outside my door,
The singer is awoken by the sound of trucks outside their door.

Short of sleep.
The artist is not well-rested.

And the sky tonight it's a deadly one,
The sky looks dangerous tonight.

It hardly lets us breath,
The air quality is poor and makes it difficult to breathe.

Like Ash Wednesday.
The air quality is so bad it resembles the day after a fire.

And when it's hot I like the fast songs,
The artist prefers energetic music when it is hot.

When I'm tired and I can't sleep,
Slow music is preferred when the artist is tired and cannot sleep.

Play them slow, way down.
The singer wants the music to be played at a slower tempo.
