Life In A Northern Town
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
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
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
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town
Hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
All the work shut down
The evening turned to rain (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
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (life in a northern town)
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (all the work shut down)
Hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (where ya goin' now?)
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Take it easy on yourself
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (take it easy on yourself)
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Hey-y-yah
La vida en un pueblo del norte
Una banda del ejército de salvación tocó
Y los niños bebieron limonada
Y la mañana duró todo el día
Todo el dia
Y por una ventana abierta entró
Como Sinatra en un día más joven
Empujando la ciudad lejos
Ah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
hey-y-yah
La vida en un pueblo del norte
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Se sentaron en el suelo pedregoso
Y sacó un cigarro
Y todos los demás bajaron
Escuchar
Dijo, "en el invierno de 1963
Se sentía como si el mundo se congelara
Con john f. kennedy
y los beatles"
Si, si, si
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
hey-y-yah
La vida en un pueblo del norte
Hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
hey-y-yah
Todo el trabajo cerrado
La tarde se convirtió en lluvia (la tarde se volvió en lluvia)
Observé el agua rodar por el desagüe
Mientras lo seguíamos hacia abajo
A la estación
Y aunque él nunca diría adiós
Podías verlo escrito en sus ojos
Mientras el tren se perdía de vista
Adiós
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
hey-y-yah
La vida en un pueblo del norte
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (la vida en un pueblo del norte)
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (todo el trabajo cerrado)
hey-y-yah
La vida en un pueblo del norte
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (¿adónde vas ahora?)
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Tómatelo con calma
