Ah hey ah ma ma ma hey ah, Ah hey ah ma ma ma hey ah

[Tuesday Afternoon]

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

(Ah hey ah ma ma ma later that night)
(Ah hey ah ma ma ma hey ah)
Life in a northern town
(Ah hey ah ma ma ma)

They sat on the stony 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

(Ah hey ah ma ma ma later that night)
(Ah hey ah ma ma ma hey ah)
Life in a northern town
(Ah hey ah ma ma ma)
(Ah hey ah ma ma ma later that night)
(Ah hey ah ma ma ma hey ah)
All the work shut down

The evening had turned to rain
Watch 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 ah ma ma ma later that night)
(Ah hey ah ma ma ma hey ah)
Life in a northern town
(Ah hey ah ma ma ma)
Wait for me in a northern town (Ah hey ah ma ma ma later that night)
All of the work shut down (HEY AH MA MA MA HEY AH)
Life in a northen town (AH HEY MA MA MA MA)
wait for me

(Ah hey ah ma ma ma later that night)
(Hey ah ma ma ma hey ah) (Ah hey ah ma ma ma)

Make it easy on yourself (Ah hey ah ma ma ma later that night)
it's a sign of this life (Hey ah ma ma ma hey ah)
so hard on yourself
so hard on yourself (Ah hey ah ma ma ma)
Make it easy on yourself (Ah hey ah ma ma ma later that night)
so hard on yourself (Hey ah ma ma ma hey ah)
so hard on yourself
Life in a northen town (Ah hey ah ma ma ma)
We'll get by girl (Ah hey ah ma ma ma later that night)
(Hey ah ma ma ma hey ah)

6. more proof ...

I've never seen you look like this without a reason,
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you.
I never took the smile away from anybody's face,
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child.

CHORUS:
And in a big country, dreams stay with you,
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside..
Stay alive..

(I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered)

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime..
CHORUS [x2]
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you.
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded.
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming.
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted.
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered.

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime...

CHORUS [x3]
