歌詞
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-yah
Life in a northern town (Hey-ma-ma-ma-ma)
[Verse 2]
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 would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And The Beatles"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-yah
Life in a northern town (Hey-ma-ma-ma-ma)
[Chorus]
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-yah
All the work shut down
[Verse 3]
The evening turned to rain
Watched 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
[Chorus]
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-yah
Life in a northern town (Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma)
Life in a northern town
[Chorus]
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (All the work shut down)
Hey-yah
Life in a northern town (Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma)
Where ya goin' now?
[Chorus]
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Take it easy on yourself
[Chorus]
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Take it easy on yourself
[Chorus]
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma (Life in a northern town, we'll get back up)
