1982 Songtext
von Valley Road

I was born in 1982
It was dry and I never learned to swim
I was born in 1982
A famine year amongst famine years
And I′m skinny still

People often say this year's like 1982
People often say that it feels just like 1982
When the rain never fell and the grass never grew


A mountain of forest had turned to tinder
Just waiting for a match to set it free
50 million tonnes of soil
Took to the sky and was blown out to sea

People often say this year′s like 1982
People often say that it feels just like 1982
When the rain never fell and the grass never grew

Keep on trailing grain for ghosts
Our eyes to the sky, we live in hope
And we get down on our knees to pray
But what the wind brings it'll take away

People often say this year's like 1982
People often say that it feels just like 1982
When the rain never fell and the grass never grew
