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
|
|
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
|
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
|
Life in a northern town
|
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
|
|
They sat on the stony ground
|
And he took a cigarette out
|
And everyone else came down to listen
|
It was the winter 1963
|
It felt like the world would freeze
|
With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah
|
|
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
|
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
|
Life in a northern town
|
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
|
|
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
|
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
|
They shut the factory down
|
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
|
|
The evening had turned to rain
|
Watched the water roll down the drain
|
As we followed him down... to the station
|
And he would never wave goodbye
|
You could see it written in his eyes
|
As the train pulled out of sight, right by
|
|
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
|
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
|
Life in a northern town
|
Ah-hey ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself
|
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
|
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
|
Life in a northern town
|
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
|
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
|
Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
|
Life in a northern town
|
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
|
Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh
|
Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
|
Life in a northern town
|
Ah hey ma ma ma ma
|
