City where lives must go on as normal (5)
I believe the answer is:
paris
'city' is the definition.
(Paris is an example)
'lives must go on as normal' is the wordplay.
'lives' becomes 'is' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'must go on' means one lot of letters go next to another (some letters go on the end of others).
'as normal' becomes 'par' (as in 'par for the course').
'is' put after 'par' is 'PARIS'.
'where' is the link.
(Other definitions for paris that I've seen before include "Legendary prince" , "'I Love - - ', song by 14" , "where he got plastered?" , "European capital city" , "City on the Seine" .)
