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
Vida Numa Cidade do Norte
Uma banda do Exército da Salvação tocou
E as crianças beberam limonada
E a manhã durou o dia todo
O dia todo
E através de uma janela aberta veio
Como Sinatra na sua época de juventude
Afastando a cidade
Ah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Ei-y-yah
Vida numa cidade do norte
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma
Eles se sentaram no chão pedregoso
E ele tirou um cigarro
E todo mundo desceu
Para ouvir
Ele disse: No inverno de 1963
Parecia que o mundo iria congelar
Com John F. Kennedy
E os Beatles
Sim, sim, sim
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Ei-y-yah
Vida numa cidade do norte
Ei-ma-ma-ma-ma
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Ei-y-yah
Todo o trabalho encerrado
O entardecer se transformou em chuva
Observei a água rolar pra baixo do ralo
À medida que a seguíamos
Até a estação
E embora ele nunca fosse acenar um adeus
Você pode ver isso escrito nos seus olhos
À medida que o trem saiu da vista
Tchau, tchau
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Ei-y-yah
Vida numa cidade do norte
Ah ei ma ma ma (vida numa cidade do norte)
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma (todo o trabalho parado)
Ei-y-yah
Life in a northern town
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma (onde estamos indo agora?)
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Ei-y-yah
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma-ma
Tenha calma consigo mesmo
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Ei-y-yah
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma (tenha calma consigo mesmo)
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Dee-doo-din-nie-ya-ya
Ah-ei-ma-ma-ma
Ei-y-yah
