Life In A Northern Town

In the style of

The Dream Academy

Lyrics

a salvation
army band played
and the children
drunk lemonade
and the morning
lasted all day
all day

and through an
open window came
like sinatra
in a younger day
pushing the town away
ah

ah hey ah ma ma
ma may-a nye ah
hey ah ma ma ma
hey ah
life in a
northern town

they sat on
the stony ground
and he took
a cigarette out
and everyone else
came down
to listen

he said in winter 1963
it felt like the world
would freeze
with john f. kennedy
and the beatles

ah hey ah ma ma
ma may-a nye ah
hey ah ma ma ma
hey ah
life in a
northern town

ah hey ah ma ma
ma may-a nye ah
hey ah ma ma ma
hey ah
all of the work
shut down

evening turned
to rain
watch the water
roll down the drain
as we
followed him down
to the station

and though
he never would
wave goodbye
you could see it
written in his eyes
as the train
rolled out of sight
bye-bye

ah hey ah ma ma
ma may-a nye ah
hey ah ma ma ma
hey ah
life in a
northern town

wait for me
in a northern town
all the work
shut down
life in a
northern town
wait for me

make it easy
on yourself
it's the sound
of your soul
so hard on yourself
so won't you go

make it easy
on yourself
so hard to go
so hard on yourself
back in a
northern town
we'll get back home
