Fake Plastic Trees
by Radiohead
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
It wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time...
All the time...

I miss when bands would sound good without autotune
-
@mctrikster I can describe it: a tragically beautiful lament to futility
-

Oh man this song brings so much nostalgia and just awesome memories, I don't usually get emotional but..........fuck man.

I'm in love!

He's got such an amazing, emotional, meaningful voice. Very rarely do you come across someone as involved in the song like Thom Yorke with all his acoustic numbers, this one especially! <3
-
I get the alienation and the fake world but he needed about three more verses.....not bad. but a ballad should tell a full story.
-
I just checked my playlist on my ipod and realised more than 70% of them are radiohead music. In fact, i can't even enjoy most of the music out there since they seem so vacuous and void of meaning unlike radiohead songs.
Radiohead ruined music for me.

..this song captures that angst of finding out something you held as "real"....Love...Life...Success....even self...and discovering just how fake it is... Its a heartbreaker...in the most beautiful way....and when a song/artist accomplishes and captures that depth of feeling....you should truly call them genius..

I think it's amazing how the whole time listening to this version i'm thinking "what record was this on" and then i hear the people clapping realizing it's a live a version.... He is absolutely flawless.....
