LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN

A Salvation Army band played And the children drank 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 ma ma ma... Hey ma ma ma hey...) Life in a northern town (Hey ma ma ma ma) They sat on the stoney ground And he took a cigarette out And everyone else came down, To listen He said“In winter 1963 It felt like the world world freeze” “With John F. Kennedy And the Beatles” (Yeah yeah yeah Ah hey ma ma ma... Hey ma ma ma hey...) Life in a northern town (Hey ma ma ma ma) (Ah hey ma ma ma... Hey ma ma ma hey...) All the work shut down The evening had 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 ma ma ma... Hey ma ma ma hey...) Life in a northern town (Hey ma ma ma ma) (Ah hey ma ma ma... Hey ma ma ma hey...) Life in a northern town (Hey ma ma ma ma)
