Drevja is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the Drevja valley, north of the Vefsnfjorden in the northern part of the present-day municipality of Vefsn. Drevja Church was the main church for the municipality.
The municipality of Drevja was established on 1 July 1927 when it was separated from the large municipality of Vefsn to form a municipality of its own. Initially, there were 964 residents in the new municipality.
On 1 January 1962, Drevja was merged with the municipalities of Elsfjord, Vefsn, and the town of Mosjøen to form a new, larger municipality of Vefsn. Prior to the merger, Drevja had 1,001 residents.
The municipality was named after the river Drevja (which flows from the lake Drevvatnet to the Vefsnfjorden). The name of the river is derived from the word drav (meaning 'rubbish' or 'waste'), thus the meaning is 'the river with unclean water'.
Bigger more powerful
And yet nobody knows
Let's not forget to discuss
All of the freeloads
Here is the car you drive
The window is open wide
Many nice folks suggest
That we go for a drive
Time doesn't know
What its time for us all to know
I like a yellow shirt
And I like orange shades
I like your green suede shoes
And all the sweaters you made
Here is the car you drive
The window is open wide
Many nice folks suggest
That we go for a drive
Time doesn't know
What its time for us all to know
Escape from the crowd
Escape from the dark
Escape from East Berlin
Escape from the planet Earth
Escape from the Planet of the Apes
Here is the car you drive
The window is open wide
Many nice folks suggest
That we go for a drive
Time doesn't know
What its time for us all to know
We don't know nothing, nobody
