Life in a Northern Town

Today's forgotten oldie was requested by a listener... "Life in a Northern Town" by the British band Dream Academy.  In 1985 the song reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, It was the highest charting song for the band in the USA, although the country duo Sugarland had a country charts hit with the song in 2007.  Not only is it a forgotten oldie today, I don't recall hearing the song since it's heyday....
