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

Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh

Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

Life in a northern town

Ah hey ma ma ma ma

They sat on the stony ground

And he took a cigarette out

And everyone else came down to listen

It was the winter 1963

It felt like the world would freeze

With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah

Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh

Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

Life in a northern town

Ah hey ma ma ma ma

Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh

Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

They shut the factory down

Ah hey ma ma ma ma

The evening had turned to rain

Watched the water roll down the drain

As we followed him down... to the station

And he would never wave goodbye

You could see it written in his eyes

As the train pulled out of sight, right by

Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh

Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

Life in a northern town

Ah-hey ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself

Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh

Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

Life in a northern town

Ah hey ma ma ma ma

Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh

Heya ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

Life in a northern town

Ah hey ma ma ma ma

Ah-heya ma ma ma, into the night-ahh

Hey ma ma ma, hey-ay-ay-ay, ah

Life in a northern town

Ah hey ma ma ma ma

Lots of music snobs in this world. Sitting on the deck outside a small bar in a small town in Northern Minnesota on a beautiful summer evening where all the Iron Ore Mining jobs have gone the way of the Dodo Bird......listening to this song watching the faces of those people was moving.

Ms. Nettles will do pretty much any cover justice and she does a wonderful job with this

Decent cover but nowhere near as good as the original. Americanised version of a quintessentially English song about English life. I'm not sure why an American country band chose to cover this song but they did it about as well as such an entity could. I still wish they hadn't though; for their sake more than ours. Dream Academy made this song at the perfect time and in the perfect way. Covering it properly, bringing the spirit of the song and the time it talks about was nigh on impossible.

Dull dull dull. Doesn't have the romance and breathy weirdness of the original.

I totally agree with you. Dream Academy did not form until 1983, and it is unknown if any of the band members even knew Nick Drake who took his life at age 26 to whom they dedicated this song to his memory. Countless musicians have done “covers.” I have nothing against Sugarland.
