Life In A Northern Town Lyrics - The Morning Lasted All Day: A Retrospective - Dream Academy

The 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, oh 

Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-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 

Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya 

Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah 

Life in a northern town 

Hey ma ma ma ma 

Ah hey ma ma ma 

Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah 

All the work shut down 

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
