Lyrics 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
Aah
Life in a northern town
They sat on the stoney ground and he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down to listen
He said in winter nineteen sixty-three it felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy and The Beatles
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Life in a northern town
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
Life in a northern town
Brake on life in a northern town
All the work shut down
Life in a northern town
Where you gonna go
Make it easy on yourself
It's a sign of the times
So hard on your own
So hard don't you know
Make it easy on yourself
It's so hard on your own
It's so hard don't you know
Bet your roll runs out but get back home
