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, away Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya Heyya ma ma ma, heyya Life in a northern town Hey ma ma ma ma He sat on the stony ground And he took a cigarette out And everyone else came down to listen It was the winter 1963 I thought that the world would freeze With John F. Kennedy and The Beatles" Yeah yeah yeah Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya Heyya ma ma ma, heyya Life in a northern town Hey ma ma ma ma Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya Heyya ma ma ma, heyya They shut the factory down Hey ma ma ma ma The evening had turned to rain Watched the water roll down the drain As they followed him down to the station He never would wave goodbye You could see it written in his eyes As the train pulled out of sight, bye bye Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya Heyya ma ma ma, heyya Life in a northern town Hey ma ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya Heyya ma ma ma, heyya Life in a northern town Hey ma ma ma ma Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya Heyya ma ma ma, heyya Life in a northern town Hey ma ma ma ma Heyya ma ma ma, hey-dee-da-naya Heyya ma ma ma, heyya Life in a northern town Hey ma ma ma ma

Here we go again It's like you're calling all the shots Before I shoot them And I hate that Every time I turn my back I wonder what you'll say to make me sound Like someone different It's not worth it anymore We've been picking up the pieces Leaving all the dust behind Sick of all the pressure You're just wasting time And I don't ever wanna Know what it feels like To be a shadow of myself And I don't ever wanna Come back down from this feeling What makes you think that You know what's better for me And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath Your made up version of me There you go again believing That the truth is what you're reading Talk some shit I haven't heard before If you've got something to say (Don't wanna talk about it) If you need someone to blame (Go on and cry about it) I measure life in minutes But these critics think they've got me figured out We've been picking up the pieces Leaving all the dust behind (We left what wasn't ours behind) Sick of all the pressure You're just wasting time And I don't ever wanna Know what it feels like To be a shadow of myself And I don't ever wanna Come back down from this feeling What makes you think that You know what's better for me And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath Your made up version of me I've lost the strength to keep my Grip on the reality that Every thought from day to day Is fading from my memory But I will never let this grow Out of my control And watch your step so you don't Fall into this hole you dug alone This hole you dug alone And I don't ever wanna Know what it feels like To be a shadow of myself And I don't ever wanna Come back down from this feeling What makes you think that You know what's better for me And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath Your made up version of me
