about

The 1980s. The superpowers are always on the brink of nuclear war. TV channels, both in the US and Great Britain, broadcast two significant works: ‘The Day After’, set in rural Kansas, and ‘Threads’, shot around Sheffield. I watched both as a young boy, starting the deep angst for a nuclear holocaust that had been gripping me ever since.

lyrics

Nineteen-eighty-three
On a Friday night—I think
When I took my seat
And the lights went off

On the biggest screen
I cannot tell the way it was
But I went miles away
A boy in a foreign land

A farmer, a soldier
A groom and a bride
Children, a daughter
In the countryside
A doctor, a nurse
The fire in the sky
A priest and a curse
Burns to the eye

Nineteen-eighty-three
On a Friday—I believe
When I watched the film
And the fear would never leave

Never leave
Never leave
Never leave
