Dream Academy Life In A Northern Town Lyrics

Life In A Northern Town Lyrics

A Salvation Army Band played
And 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-

(chant)
Ah hey ma
ma ma
Life in a northern town.

They sat on the stoney ground
And
he took out 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."

(Chant)
Ah- hey ma ma ma
Life in a
northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
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 pulled out of
sight
Bye-bye

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern
town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
