Life In A Northern Town - Live

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, away
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
 Life in a northern town
 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
 They sat on the stony ground and he took a cigarette out
 And everyone else came down to listen
 It was the winter 1963, it felt like the world would freeze
 With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah, yeah
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
 Life in a northern town
 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
 They shut the factory down
 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
 The evening had turned to rain, watched the water roll down the drain
 As they followed him down to the station
 And he would never wave goodbye, you could see it written in his eyes
 As the train pulled out of sight, bye, bye
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
 Life in a northern town
 Hey, ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
 Life in a northern town
 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
 Life in a northern town
 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
 Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
 Life in a northern town
 Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
