it wears him out - it wears him out...
For the "Musically Challenged" group - "Fake Plastic Trees", by Radiohead
The song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKd06s1LNik
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.
And it wears him out, it wears him out.
It wears him out, it wears . . .
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.
And it wears me out, it wears me out.
It wears me out, it wears me out.
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time.
Oh, oh.
Radiohead is one of those groups that I liked right out of the box, and before long I had collected every CD they'd made, and was hungry for more.. There's a sense of melancholy about their music that appealed to me, and a lonely beauty to the voice that I never tired of.. As is often the case though - reading the lyrics doesn't really make literal sense - not in the way most country songs do, with a straight-forward story, with a beginning, a middle, and an end.. But I was raised in a time when the lyrics were often secondary to the mood of the piece - and often were indecipherable anyway - much less what they "mean".. I think they mean what they mean to you - and that's all that really matters.. This song is so pretty, melodically, that it's almost a lullaby, even thought the lyrics are rather sad... I think...
