Life in a northern town
The 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......(*) 北方小镇的生活
梦幻学院合唱团
救世军乐队演奏着
孩子们喝着柠檬汁
从早晨持续了一整天
从敞开的窗户而来
就像年轻时的法兰克辛那屈
风靡了整个小镇
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma....
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma, hey-oh
北方小镇的生活
所有的工作都停顿了下来
Hey-oh, ma-ma-ma
他坐在石板地上
掏出一根香烟
每个人都围过来听他说故事
他说在１９６３年的冬天
全世界好象冻结了
因为甘乃迪事件和披头四
傍晚下起雨来
看着雨水流入水沟
我们跟着他到了火车站
虽然他从不挥手道别
从他的眼睛却看得出来
当火车渐渐驶离视线，再见了...... |
