Dream Academy
Life in a Northern Town
[NOTE: I've tried to decipher the chant in the chorus to the best of my ability.]

The Salvation Army band played
And the 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-oh ma-ma-ma be-doo-na-ya
Hey-o ma-ma-ma hey-ey-ey-ey-oh

Life in a Northern town
(Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma...)

He sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came 'round, to listen

He said "In winter, 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy, and The Beatles..."
(Yeah yeah)

[Chant...]
Life in a Northern town
(Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma...Where you goin'?)

[Chant...]
All the work shut down...

Evening turned to rain
Watched the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down, to the station

Though he never would wave goodbye
You could see written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight...Bye-bye...

[Chant...]
Life in a Northern town
(ah-hey-ma-ma-ma)
[Chant continues to song's fade]
