Description

-
*Life in a Northern Town a classic mid 80’s hit with ‘chant in song’* -

There’s much to be said for *‘chant in song’* with the classic 80’s hit *‘Life in a Northern Town’* a testament to how effective chant can be in song especially when trying to raise the spirit levels of ordinary folk from *‘Life in a Northern Town’* who are simply looking for a better way of life.

*‘Life in a Northern Town’* as lyrics in song states is not always *‘fine sailing’* as we’d like it to be, especially if we’ve been brought up in a low socio-economic neighbourhood when meeting general basic family needs can be an on-going struggle but it’s important in life to always try to make the best out of a difficult situation, *‘so take it easy on yourself’* because with a *'self-determined and positive attitude, good things can surely come our way!*

*The Dream Academy - Life in a Northern Town – Lyrics*

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
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-ma, dee-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, dee-doo-din-nie-ya
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

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma, dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma, hey-y-yah
Life in a northern town, ah-hey-ma-ma-ma

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma, dee-doo-din-nie-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
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma, hey-y-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma (take it easy on yourself)

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (society's so) dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (so hard to desert) hey-y-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma-ma (take it easy on yourself)

Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (society's so) dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma (so hard to desert) hey-y-yah
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma, ah-hey-ma-ma-ma, dee-doo-din-nie-ya
Ah-hey-ma-ma-ma
