Earth Lyrics

Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
Are you with me?

You're not golden
and I'm getting tired
Act like you own the place
when really you've only just arrived
I caught first glimmers
in hides and skins
Look who's all grown up
Black swanning about the solar winds

You're gonna lose it all
and find yourself on your knees
so get a grip and you might
flow, reverse the great slow bleed
I've tried patience but you always want a war
this house won't tolerate anymore

Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
make it up to me now.

The cold shoulder
Folded arms and looking up
You've never listened
carry on careless, regardless
This is not a fire drill
And if we hold any hope
It's harmonic connection
And stereo symbiosis.

These Legoland empires
choking out my now
You're everywhere, everywhere
multiplying around me, child.
A strain on my heart
this rock can't tolerate anymore

Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
make it up to me now.

Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
(Do you love me?)
Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work
Baby behave we'll make it work

Get only what you give back
Get only what you give back
Get only what you give back
Get only what you give back
Get only what you give back

Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
make it up to me now.

Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
make it up to me now.

Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Get only what you give back
Get only what you give back
Get only what you give back
Get only what you give back
Get only what you give back

I definitely think it's really self-explanatory. It's called Earth and she's pretty much saying for people to stop abusing the earth and that the progress of where things are heading is leading us into disaster. I love the message in this song and I think that Immi is amazing. <3

I like how it's almost in a Mother Nature sort of point of view, playing up the "scolding mother" bit. And we're the fidgeting child indifferent to what she's trying to explain.

This is like the coolest green song of all time (^_^)

Cover art for Earth lyrics by Imogen Heap

wow...this is A Capella, but you can hardly tell. she's so great.

Theres a bit of a drum line in the background, but yeah I didnt notice unitl just now, crazy.

pretty sure it's entirely A capella. That "drum line" is a little bit a beat boxin. awesome song though :)

Actually there's a piano or something and like a cello or something at the end too...

I'm wondering if the fact that it's all A capella might be symbolic? The song is called "Earth", and she's only using natural means of making music (the human voice), rather than any man-made instrument. Just a thought.
