Life in a northern town  Dream Academy

The Salvation Army band played
And the children drunk 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...

*Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma....
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-oh
Life in a northern town
All of the work shut down
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma

He 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(*)

As the evening turned to rain
Watch the water run 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 eye
As the train rolled out of sight, bye bye......(*)
北方小鎮的生活  夢幻學院合唱團

救世軍樂隊演奏著
孩子們喝著檸檬汁
從早晨持續了一整天

從敞開的窗戶而來
就像年輕時的法蘭克辛那屈
風靡了整個小鎮

Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma....
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-oh
北方小鎮的生活
所有的工作都停頓了下來
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma

他坐在石板地上
掏出一根香煙
每個人都圍過來聽他說故事

他說在 1963 年的冬天
全世界好像凍結了一樣
因為甘迺迪事件和披頭四

傍晚下起雨來
看著雨水流入水溝
我們跟著他到了火車站

雖然他從不揮手道別
從他的眼睛卻看得出來
當火車漸漸駛離視線,再見了......
