Cover version of Cerrone’s environmental anthem Supernature. The song, also previously recorded by Lene Lovich, led to a collaboration between Erasure and Lovich for the song Rage, which later appeared on a PETA benefit album.
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
Science opened up the door
We would feed the hungry fields
Till they couldn't eat no more
But the potions that we made
Touched the creatures down below
And they grow up in a way
That we'd never seen before
[Chorus]
Supernature, Supernature
Supernature, Supernature
[Verse 2]
They were angry with the man
'Cause he changed their way of life
And they take their sweet revenge
As they trample through the night
For a hundred miles or more
You can hear the people cry
But there's nothing you can do
Even God is on their side
(God is on their, God is on their, God is on their side)
[Chorus]
Supernature, Supernature
Supernature, Supernature
[Bridge 1]
Gods will break the ice
And throw it in the air
The creatures will decide
Who goes where
[Verse 3]
How can I explain?
Things are different today
Darkness all around
And no one makes a sound
Such a sad affair
No one seems to care
[Chorus]
Supernature, Supernature
Supernature, Supernature
[Bridge 2]
Better watch out
There's no way to stop it now
You can't escape, it's too late
Look what you've done
There's no place that you can run
The monster's made, we must pray
[Verse 4]
Maybe nature has a plan
To control the ways of man
He must start from scratch again
Many battles he must win
Till he earns his place on Earth
Like the other creatures do
Will there be a happy end?
Now that all depends on you
[Chorus]
Supernature, Supernature
Supernature, Supernature
Supernature, Supernature
Supernature, Supernature
Supernature, Supernature
Supernature, Supernature
[Outro]
(Supernature) Supernature's calling
(The Supernature's calling) Supernature
Supernature
(The Supernature's calling) Supernature, Supernature
