Supernature

About Supernature

"Supernature" is the title track of Cerrone's 1977 album, Supernature (Cerrone III). Along with the tracks "Give Me Love" and "Love is Here", the song reached number one on the US disco/dance charts early in 1978. The single crossed over to both the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 70, and the soul charts, where it peaked at number 72. In August 1978, it peaked at number 8 in the UK Singles Chart after heavy use in the first series of The Kenny Everett Video Show. The lyrics were written by a young Lene Lovich, though she was not credited. The song has an environmental theme, imagining a future in which the use of artificial chemicals in agriculture has caused "creatures down below" to emerge and "take their sweet revenge" against mankind. It was covered by Erasure in 1989, released with their single "You Surround Me". It was also covered by The Time Frequency in 1994 for their debut album, Dominator. The band Goldfrapp named their third studio album after the song. more »

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 were made
Touched the creatures down below
And they grew up in a way
That we'd never seen before

[Chorus]
Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature

They were angry with the man
Cause he'd changed their way of life
And they take their sweet revenge
As they trample through the night
For a hundred miles or more
You could hear the people cry
But there is nothing you can do
Even God is on their side

[Chorus]

Gods will break the ice, and throw it in the air
The creatures will decide who goes where

How can I explain?
Things are different today
Darkness all around, no one makes a sound
Such a sad affair, no one seems to care

[Chorus]

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 monsters made, we must pay

Maybe nature has a plan
To control the ways of man
He must start from scratch again
Many battles must he 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: x2]
