life in a northern town

[00:32.90] A Salvation Army band played

[00:36.89] And the children drank lemonade

[00:40.89] And the morning lasted all day, all day

[00:49.14] And through an open window came

[00:52.64] Like Sinatra in a younger day

[00:56.89] Pushing the town away, away

[01:05.39] Heya' ma ma ma, into the night

[01:09.40] Hey ma ma ma, hey, ah

[01:15.40] Life in a northern town

[01:18.14] Ah hey ma ma ma ma

[01:22.14] They sat on the stony ground

[01:25.64] And he took a cigarette out

[01:29.64] And everyone else came down to listen

[01:37.39] It was the winter 1963

[01:41.64] It felt like the world would freeze

[01:45.90] With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah

[01:54.14] Heya' ma ma ma, into the night

[01:58.15] Hey ma ma ma, hey, ah

[02:04.14] Life in a northern town

[02:20.39] Life in a northern town

[02:23.04] Ah hey ma ma ma ma

[02:26.29] The evening had turned to rain

[02:31.30] Watched the water roll down the drain

[02:35.29] As they followed him down, to the station

[02:42.54] And he would never wave goodbye

[02:46.80] You could see it written in his eyes

[02:50.54] As the train pulled out of sight, right by

[02:59.79] Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ah

[03:03.29] Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

[03:09.30] Life in a northern town

[03:12.05] Ah-hey ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself

[03:15.80] Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ah

[03:19.55] Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

[03:25.55] Life in a northern town

[03:28.29] Ah hey ma ma ma ma

[03:32.04] Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ah

[03:48.29] Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ah

[03:52.05] Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah
