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 -
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
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."
(Chant)Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
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.
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town.

The Dream Academy è stato un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Londra nel 1983 e scioltosi nel 1991. Il gruppo, composto da Nick Chappel (voce), Gilbert Gabriel (tastiere) e Andy Gangadeen (batteria), ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con il singolo "Life in a Northern Town", pubblicato nel 1985. La canzone, un inno nostalgico alla vita nella Inghilterra del Nord, è diventata un classico dell'epoca e ha contribuito a definire l'estetica synth-pop degli anni '80. The Dream Academy ha pubblicato due album di studio: "The Dream Academy" (1985) e "Blindfold" (1987). Entrambi gli album hanno riscosso un discreto successo commerciale, ma non sono riusciti a raggiungere le vette del primo singolo. Dopo la pubblicazione di "Blindfold", il gruppo si è sciolto. Sebbene abbiano avuto una carriera relativamente breve, The Dream Academy ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella storia della musica pop degli anni '80.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
