Текст песни: River Valley + перевод

Who will save the river valley? That’s my drinking water

This was once a sacred place, now look at what we’ve got here

I’ll pretend there isn’t any problem, just do my job

And, if I don’t like the standard of living, go move to Russia…

Me an’Pete went swimming last night, he’s my friend from boy scouts

All the fish were floating upright, we got scared and we got out

Mother says don’t play down where your father does his job

You know he’s got to make a living, or move to Russia…

(this is my world, this is my world, don’t let it go away

is it a crime spending my time dreaming of yesterday?)

Meet me in the river valley, you could tell me stories

'Bout a time before pinstripe suits, Dippers, Grits and Tories

my mother sang the song her mother taught her

we’d be swimming off in cool cool water

and when she’d call us from the yard

running home it felt like god…

Is your favourite place controlled by developing ambitions?

Do you think you’ll have some power signing a petition?

Are you fine with your surroundings? Are they gonna crumble?

I’m living in the river valley, come and join me for a tumble?

high up above, see on the cars along the viaduct

from sunrise to the last call — they push their luck

but that would be fine

if the world was yours and you were mine

Who will save the river valley?

Who will save the river valley?

Who will save the river valley?

Who will save the river valley?
