Dolby, Thomas - The Flat Earth Lyrics






The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any shape at all
Dark and cold or bright and warm
Long or thin or small
But it's home and all I ever had
And maybe why for me the Earth is flat

Friends have often asked me why
I'm sensitive about my height
I would look around and say
Hmm, I thought I was immune
All my life I have waited
To be given any word
It was screaming to be heard

Please remember...

The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any shape at all
Dark and cold or bright and warm
Long or thin or small
But it's home and all I ever had
And maybe why for me the Earth is flat

Turn the island to the storm tonight
Then when they spill the demon seed
Turn and face into the wind
All along you still believed
Believed you were immune
And if love is all you're missing
Look into your heart
Is anybody home?

Please remember...
The Earth can be any shape you want it
Any in the world
But don't you point that ray-gun at me
I might just explode
There are stones buried in your soul
And only a fool would blame the death of rock and roll, yeah
And in time you'll come to understand
This flat old Earth is in your gentle hands

    Without a doubt, one of my favorite TD songs.

    The. Earth. Is. Flat.

    T.... P....

    Correct. The earth is flat and Jesus is Lord. If the world is flat and not a spinning accident it must have been created. The question is who is the creator? Look into all religions, search for the truth.

    I was a hardcore atheist last year before my almost instant flat earth awakening. This led me to Jesus and incredible an incredible transformation. The King James Bible is the truth, the new (per)versions are made by Jesuits and try to redact flat earth cosmology.

  7. A.... W....

    Thomas knows the earth is flat. Don't believe the lying luciferians of this world that tell you we live on a spinning ball. NASA in Hebrew =DECEIVER!!!!!

    A.... W....

    Or... I know this is hard to believe, but it might just be possible that it's an acronym for National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

    A.... W....

    @Finian Wright Thank you, I was having a terrible day and this made me bust up laughing. Lol

  8. L.... Q....

    Great lyrics and it came before a genre of 'ambient' music associated as 'chill' or 'Ibiza'.

    L.... Q....

    There was a lot of this stuff back then, just under different names, ""new age" is one of them.. what ppl do is just rename the old stuff to claim it's something new and special.

  9. C.... s....

    Beautiful! Earth is flat! Take Care Share Truth

    C.... s....

    shut up boomer

  10. K.... -....

    I am 60yo and this song still brings tears to my eyes ... "I thought I was immune" ... this album is a sentimental favorite ... Thank you Thomas ...!!!!

  11. D.... M....

    Love your song!

    The Earth Can Be Any Shape You Want It!

    @Joseph JJ Turner but the earth cant lol. Any shape you want it (in your own imagination)

  13. P.... ....

    Thomas Dolby was an O.G. flat Earther. He also knew the flat Earth society was corrupt. The man was way ahead of his time. You have people like Eric dubay putting out some of the best research on the market today for flat Earth while Dolby was already keen to it eons ago. Respect. Great song.

    ​@Bruce Hansen In response to your two replies:
    A. NASA Document 1207 is intended for creating simulations. On a small scale, the effect of assuming a flat vs round earth is negligible. It also makes other assumptions, such as a completely rigid aircraft. It was written in 1988 when the enormous Cray Y-MP mainframe was less powerful than a single modern graphics card. An Nvidia GTX 1070 has a processing power of 6.5 teraflops (6,500,000 megaflops), the $15 million Cray was only capable of 333 megaflops. It isn't designed to be completely accurate, it's designed to be accurate enough to be useful and simple enough run on the hardware of the time. As George Box said, "All models are wrong, but some are useful."



    B. An image is defined as a visual representation of something. A photograph is a visual representation of an object.

    P.... ....

    @Finian Wright image is a compilation with nasa. Hell even nasa admits they are. And funny shit how you go out of your way to deny the nasa document and say it's a simulation... If we lived on a globe that wouldnt be the case and just shows you are in denial. Why create a simulation for a flat earth if its a ball.. Why waste the time. They give you all the numbers how planes fly on a flat earth then in the conclusion they confirm that the earth is flat and non rotating. The globe goes against reality. Not 1 proof that we live on a globe. But whatever be deceived like the masses

    P.... ....

    @Finian Wright and yes the death star is real lol read the bible fool. Hollywood mocks the bible in all their action movies.

    P.... ....

    @Bruce Hansen This is ridiculous. You didn't even read past the first sentence of my explanation. I'm not wasting any more time replying.

    P.... ....

    @Finian Wright you will remain a globe tard for life. Good job, hence the reason the worlds going down the shitter... Idiots like you who refuse to learn the truth and rationalize bullshit answers to themselves. Be dumb for all I care, you'll never learn shit that way.

  14. m.... r....

    When Thomas played this on 8.8.18 at his intimate Baltimore concert (as a TR808 tribute), many tears had fallen. Amazing soundscape, deeply talented artist.

  15. s.... ....

    It's a bit bumpy.....

  16. d.... ....

    He has a hit named "blinded me with Science" and a song called the Flat Earth. Very interesting

    d.... ....

    @dennyadkins21 It’s also interesting that “The Flat Earth” Lp was released in 1984

    d.... ....

    @PokrPro21 Other than harvesting all of the energy from everywhere in the universe (assuming the universe is infinite), infinite energy is physically impossible. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

    Science was his worst tune ... That's how good this man is. Gotta write a catchy tune for the dummies. :(

    d.... ....

    ;0 world's shaped like a burrito, if you're curious 'bout that ;0... according to opus the penguin. ;)

  17. D.... Y....

    Thomas Dolby, what a wonderful musician, such lyrical depth, so esoteric, so jovial 😋

  18. J.... W....

    I prefer this album to his better-known 'The Golden Age of Wireless'.

    J.... W....

    s'deeper sounding, definitely... but they have 'tradeoffs' for fave tracks for me. this is def the most 'sailing in the clear blue ocean' style album for me... :) it's his steelydan's 'aja' fer sure. ;0

  19. D.... J....

    Thomas is still way ahead of his time. One of my favorite artists. I remember being so excited and special buying these albums as a teen here in America. I lived in a mostly black neighborhood and my friends thought I was weird and kinda cool playing all of this trippy music from England. I am so fortunate to have grown up with music like this and it was on wax too. Incredible. Still gives me chills to this day.

    D.... J....

    Me too.

    D.... J....

    Totally agree. So many layers and so much depth in his music. This is my favourite TMDR track of all time. I still listen to his music regularly, 35 odd years after it was released. If you listen to podcasts at all, check this out: https://thehustle.podbean.com/e/deep-dive-matthew-seligman-on-thomas-dolby-the-flat-earth-1984/ I'm not a musician but love hearing how it's all constructed. Also been lucky enough to go to a couple of his shows here in the UK, his "comeback" gig at The Scala in London, probably 8 or 9 years ago now, and also a very small gig in Cambridge, only about 50 people there! So lucky 😋. All the best to you.

    D.... J....

    All my friends thought the same of me when they found out i listened to todd rundgren back around 1972 -73 . You and i listened to musicians who were ahead of there time damiin. We have class brother.
