Life In A Northern Town Songtext / Lyric

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, away



Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya

Heyya ma ma ma, heyya

Life in a northern town

Hey ma ma ma ma



He sat on the stony ground

And he took a cigarette out

And everyone else came down to listen



It was the winter 1963

I thought that the world would freeze

With John F. Kennedy and The Beatles"

Yeah yeah yeah






Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya

Heyya ma ma ma, heyya

Life in a northern town

Hey ma ma ma ma



Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya

Heyya ma ma ma, heyya

They shut the factory down

Hey ma ma ma ma



The evening had turned to rain

Watched the water roll down the drain

As they followed him down to the station



He never would wave goodbye

You could see it written in his eyes

As the train pulled out of sight, bye bye



Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya

Heyya ma ma ma, heyya

Life in a northern town

Hey ma ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself



Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya

Heyya ma ma ma, heyya

Life in a northern town

Hey ma ma ma ma



Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya

Heyya ma ma ma, heyya

Life in a northern town

Hey ma ma ma ma



Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya

Heyya ma ma ma, heyya

Life in a northern town

Hey ma ma ma ma
