About This Track

'81' by Marika Hackman is a track on the 'Sugar Blind EP' released in 2013. The lyrics sketch a private, Eden-adjacent claim to a small plot of land, complete with the sense of ownership and the shock of the place being emptied out. There is a physical, hands-on effort to “tilled” it, alongside an escalating note of heat and disarray, as the imagined paradise turns strangely barren.

"81" is a track by Marika Hackman, from the album Sugar Blind EP, released 2013. The track is 2:36 long. It's filed under Singer/Songwriter. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about Marika Hackman.

Lyrics

81

I found a little plot of land in the Garden of Eden
It was dirt and dirt is all the same
I tilled it with my two hands and I called it my very own
There was no one to dispute my claim

Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hotter than Hell, so I lay me by a spring for a spell
As naked as a trout

Meet me in the Garden of Eden, bring a friend
Oh, we are gonna have ourselves a time
Oh, we are gonna have a garden party, it's on me
Oh, no, siree, it's my dime

We broke our hearts in the war between
Saint George and the dragon
But both in equal parts are welcome to come along
Oh, I'm inviting everyone

Farewell to loves that I have known
Even muddiest waters run
But I believe in innocence, little darling, start again
Oh, I believe in everyone
