|
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.
