Fake Plastic Trees: Radiohead cover on ukulele

about this song Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead---
very cool how Thom Yorke constructed the lyrics for this tune. I like how each verse is the perspective a completely different character each with a unique and yet similar view on the world and each with this relationship to fake-ness or plastic life itself. The song is like a social commentary and unrequited love song all at the same time. How cool is that?
Also i love how the title is Fake Plastic Trees and yet he never actually mentions "fake plastic trees" in the song.
Fake and or plastic and or rubber things actually mentioned in song:
-green plastic watering can
-fake Chinese rubber plant
-fake plastic earth
-rubber man
-rubber plans
-cracked polystyrene man
-fake plastic love

Also discussed but not implicitly mentioned: fake boobies
(no really check verse 2)

Okay enough rambling.... for now

thanks for listening, y'all,

Gg

Hey i wasn't sure about the uke so i asked my buddy Seeso who i borrowed it from. He says it's a concert, not a tenor. Hope that helps
